It's nonsense. Even if NAFTA somehow forced the provinces to sell water at market rates to anyone who wanted to buy it, the revenue would accrue to the provincial government.

The end result is that the citizens of the province could definitely out-bid foreigners for the water, since the money they pay comes right back to them.
