    Pretty sure that as soon as water gets scarse, our “friends” from the south will start pumping the great lakes and start aggressively buying anything they can around our water reserves and if we dare nationalise those critical resources, they will liberate us from this oppressive regime to promote free trade.

    Must be one of their most used page of their playbook.

      The great lakes compact is pretty aggressively supported by the Great Lakes states. There would be a pretty massive domestic fight if the west tried to take any water.

      In fact the Great Lakes Compact was created after Canada tried to start shipping Lake Superior water to Asia in the 90s.

          Ohio just voted for a convicted rapist and felon who ran the worst campaign in modern history.

          I don’t have any faith in America at all and the US “heartland” specifically. If Trump told them to cut their own genitals off, they’d do it.

            who ran the worst campaign in modern history.

            He should be in jail, he’s genuinely not a good person, and I am surprised that he was allowed to run in the first place, but if the point of a campaign is to win, was the campaign “bad”?
