Simple.

When given the choice between oil and water, people will always choose water. As 3rd world countires continue to grow, and engulf a higher percentage of the World's population, their citizens, most living in absolute poverty, will require fresh drinking water.

Now traditionally developed countries don't care about the poor, until it affects them in some way. This will happen through mass exodus from poor countries like we are seeing in Europe. It's only a matter of time before economies of the world collapse, and not wanting to die, a great percentage of Latin Americans will try everything to get into the UNited States. this will include:

-hiding on trains
-hiding in boats
-swimming or paddling on rafts across the Rio Grande
-hiding in vehicles that enter the USA
-crossing the border on foot
-hiding planes to take them to the USA

Sadly, this will put pressure on the resources that the United States has. Not thinking clearly, President Trump will spike the drinking water trying to rid southern US states of refugees. Only problem is, he realizes that now nobody in states like Texas, Florida, California, Arizona, etc. have water to drink. Trump will look north, and visit Manitoba.

Amazed by the abundance of fresh water, Trump will buy Manitoba, and divert fresh water to all US states via pipelines and other means. Other provinces will feel the effects of the fresh water boom, but it will be Manitoba that stands to see the economic boom of water increasing exponentially in price. Trump will also outlaw the NDP as a political party, and reverse the damage they have done on this province.

I have no doubt that the population of Manitoba will hit 2,000,000 people within 20 years. Winnipeg will eventually overtake Ottawa, Edmonton, and Calgary in population. Global warming will also create a Northwest passage, that will make Churchill and Thompson grow to 100,000 residents. Thompson will benefit from the demand of fresh water, while Churchill will become a major shipping port.

Winnipeg will hit 1,500,000 people.
Millions will become rich.
The Jets will win the Stanley Cup.
