The US president says he wants to "take care of my beautiful hair" as he eases water flow rules.

    Because Biden opposed him.

    Cynically, it increases US water usage and will make water more expensive in the US, allowing him and his ilk to push for an invasion of Canada.

      That…took a turn at the end there. I was with you, up until the Canada part. Am I missing context here, or is that as random to everyone else as it is to me?

        While total water yield is comparable between the United States (3,051 billion cubic metres) and Canada (3,472 billion cubic metres), the renewable freshwater per person in the United States is just 9.1% of that in Canada.

        I don’t think he’s been calling us the 51st state for no reason.

        Trump wants Canada to be part of the US. It’s been a thing since the start of his term.

        He has already made multiple comments on how he wants free access to Canadian water.

        It was also a significant issue that almost derailed the original NAFTA, and is the reason that agreement had some of its nastier trap regulations.

        He is already refusing to honor decades old agreements on the Columbia River, because he wants to just take it all.

        If his goons create shortages in the US, they can work public opinion into trying to take it from Canada.

        You seriously don’t know Trump and Republicans have explicity said they want to annex Canada?

          I intentionally don’t watch the news. I know whatever they have planned can’t be stopped by me. It won’t be stopped by anything short of a national violent uprising. The type of thing that will be impossible to not know is happening. But for now, I can’t stand his voice. I can’t stand his lies. And from 2017-2021 I felt my mental health take a nose dive.

          So I’m not doing it. I feel helpless in my own country, and the only power I have is the power to ignore literally everything until it’s time for civil war. Which I fully believe is coming.
