These "agreements and conventions" include the Dish with one Spoon treaty between the tribes and existed before the arrival of europeans. The 3 tenets of the treaty were (1) take what you need (2) leave something for others and (3) keep it clean.
The South Shore of Lake Superior in WI is already ready to join Canada. Mess with Lake Superior and it’s not just some fantasy. Caring for the lake is serious business.
That’s good to hear. I am on the North Shore and know a few south shore folks and they are regrettably MAGA. 😒 But I do think you will see a lot of Minnesotans fight with Canada if it comes to that…
There aren't any locks in lake Michigan. Those connect from superior to Huron. The bridge is the diving line between the lakes and Canada doesn't come near it.
Of the 8 states that touch the Great Lakes, Democrats have the governorships in 6 of them (MN, WI, IL, MI, PA and NY). Only IN and OH have R governors. His animus toward Canada is second only to blue/purple states with Dem leaders. They’re the firewall for clean drinking water for millions.
That’s not true. They forced him to back out of doing tariffs already. Rand Paul of all people chewed him out publicly last week. The guy is tanking faster than the titanic.
Given that Trump and Co. want to dissolve the EPA, and pollute our lakes & streams, I'm sure Canada would be like...nah. Keep your trash on your side of the lake.
Trump has no respect for US laws or the independence of separate countries. He continually threatens Canada’s sovereignty, which is the same as declaring war against Canada. The GOP are all complicit in these threats of war against Canada. Canada needs to quickly and aggressively confront the US.
Great Lakes areas (I define this as 50 miles inland from the shore) would have one of the largest gdps of any state. This includes Duluth to Chicago, Detroit to Buffalo. If these areas banded together and stopped letting downstate yokels control us, imagine the power we could wield.

However, who knows if any personnel remain
I feel sorry Americans. I know that most are good people even if they are ruled by a madman
THIS is something only a president who LOVES PEACE and HATES WAR would do.
