Alberta in talks with Nestle to privatize water

http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/Braid+Water+trade+talks+dampen+farewells+Stelmach+David+Swann/4775771/story.html

From the article:
First, the Tories are embarrassed that Nestle's chairman, Peter Brabeck-Lemathe, told Reuters he was "actively dealing with the government of Alberta to think about a water exchange.
 ...
The idea for an internal trading system is clearly in the works, but it's a radical concept for Alberta. The government is understandably spooked by the sudden spectre of foreign companies carting away our water to grow cocoa beans.
