The Great Lakes are one of the largest freshwater systems in the world, and Lake Superior is the largest and the deepest of the five lakes. But in 2007, water levels almost reached a record low, causing unease and uncertainty among the local population. Due to the decline of the water levels, it is evident that Canada should invest more funds into improving the Great Lakes system, as there is much more Canada can and should do to lessen economic and environmental impacts. First, Canada’s current
