Before we can send water from Canada to SoCal, we're going to have to figure out how to get the water over a few large mountain ranges. That won't be cheap and it won't happen during Trump's administration. Then there's the whole what's in it for Canada problem to address.
Whaddya mean?
Trump said it's like a BIG FAUCET.
You just turn it on.
To understand that water from the north naturally flows downhill to the south, it may be necessary to put your map on the wall (right-side-up!). If you have the map flat on a table, it is not so obvious to see. This is one of the reasons that maps are usually hung on walls, especially in classrooms, so that students can understand how it works.
Or look at a globe. This also explains why there is a lot more ocean in the southern hemisphere. Eventually, it will all be there and the northern hemisphere will be almost completely dry (fortunately not in my lifetime).
Water flows downhill but it doesn't necessarily have to flow north to south. The Nile River flows south to north and empties into the Mediterranean Sea.
That is only possible if the map is on the wall upside-down. Or maybe -- maybe -- if the map is flat on a table. Or don't you believe in gravity? Sir Isaac Newton was famous for more than just the fig bar, you know.
