When I read the above, I can understand combating drought.

It's nice to think we have some control over that but that control
is severely limited, plus we have short attention spans when looking
at time over hundreds or thousands of years. Like, at one time most
of the prairies in central Canada, some of the finest growing land
in the world, was once mostly all desert.. and there's nothing to
say it won't revert back to that some day, maybe sooner than we think.

When the 'First' Nations came to Canada, they got here by walking
across a land bridge from what is today Eastern Europe to Alaska.

They don't want you to know that when they got here Canada had
already been colonized for about 1000 years by Asians who came
here by primitive ship before the land bridge had formed.
So the 'First' Nations were actually not the first inhabitants
here, they were the first Colonizers to steal the land from the
people living here when they got here.. B)

The leftovers of those first people are the Inuit, who are
ironically Not included in the 634 Indigenous Governments
and Bands recognized in Canada as 'First' Nations.

Plus things like Florida at one time was totally underwater..
(..and probably most of Manhattan.)
