Heh, just wait until California builds that pipeline... !

They'll have to get approval from the Canucks.
They watch that water level like a hawk.
I don't think they care to water California lawns.
Water is, after all, the source of precious bodily fluids.

Not just Canada... the US states that border the Great Lakes are also very
interested in preventing any massive diversions to the US west.

Heck, I won't complain about cheap water.
But I've seen the issue raised about the local water flow here in
Illinois. Diversion into the SAG canal and then the Illinois river
it tightly controlled by U.S./Canadian agreements.
Wait until the price of water out west gets as high as oil, I say.
Then sell it. I'd really like to sell them the snow before it hits
the ground.
