This is awful how they treat one of the world's largest local freshwater reserves, belonging to both countries. .

It'll take about 77 years by the latest EPA estimates to clean the Great Lakes,
which are still polluted and producing these awful algae blooms which I think are created by companies dumping manure in the lakes, either directly or indirectly or who are not doing anything to prevent leaching of manure into freshwater reservoirs.

Manure feeds the algae and there are lots of farms in close proximity to the Great Lakes.

I assume the old 1700-1800's organic homesteading days of families owning thin strips of land along riversides and lakes to share the freshwater resources are long gone and most are owned by very few big multinational farmers who farm chemically and waste the manure.

These companies are destroying the ecosystem and water resources, and therefore must be relieved of control of the area- forcibly if necessary, and restoration of organic practices that at least do not introduce unnatural elements into the lake.

The days of direct dumping into the lakes are gone as far as I know but unnatural element contamination still comes in indirectly- by rivers and soil and wind, into the water we drink.

They should farm the Algae and produce ethanol for our cars to burn clean energy! Remember, most cars can burn 85 percent alcohol and 15 percent gasoline. This would help our environment.
