WI's Great Lakes' diversion record aired unfavorably in Canada

I've noted Wisconsin's repetitive approvals for diversions of Great Lakes water,
Lake Michigan gale
Milwaukee shoreline, Lake Michigan 
and one Canadian water conservationist's complaints about that has hit media there.
Ontario, Quebec should be represented on IJC water compact
While the complainant does confuse the Waukesha and Racine-for-Foxconn diversions, he's right about a) our state's diversion-happy record, and b) his observation that Canada - - (despite earlier objections) - - has virtually no say in how Great Lakes the share with the US can be diverted because the overarching US-Canadian Great Lakes Compact as written assigns Canadian provinces an advisory role only.

And if Canadians don't like this part of Scott Walker's legacy, imagine if he'd gotten to build his US-Canada wall.
