Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Just tell everyone that Alberta is out of oil. No one is going to invade for the maple syrup, despite it being the nectar of the gods.
It will be for the water though.
Yup. NAFTA negotiations are coming up shortly and I bet some of our unused pipelines will be looked at to transport fresh water instead of oil.
Which might be a good idea. We've got the pipes sitting there already, connecting the whole continent. Might as well use them.
Before someone says it, yes, you can clean out oil pipelines enough to be used for fresh drinking water. It has been done before.
I dunno that it's a good idea. What would the US be willing to pay for that water? I mean if it's like the pittance water bottlers have been paying, fuck that.
Would we have restrictions on usage, and limits on how much they can take per year? Like there's a large chunk of desert that's growing crops and takes a LOT of water.
Lots of questions to be answered and logistics to look at first.
I don't think it works that way
Why not? It's a free trade agreement and Canada has known for a long time that America would be looking at our freshwater sources because of their mismanagement.
I don't think you can just look at some old oil pipeline and just decide to run freshwater through it. Pretty sure water isn't the same as oil also I don't think most people want to drink oily water.
Old oil pipes have been cleaned out before and reused for drinking water.
I never said it was old. I said it was unused.
Google TMX pipeline.
Fine whatever you convinced me. The TMX pipeline is going to take water
I didn't say it would for sure. I said it would be discussed.
C'mon. This is a discussion, right?
Sorry it is just, I can't even with this. Canada is not going to get invaded. There are so many bigger problems to worry about.
It can't possibly be as expensive to invade a country vs running a desalinization system
It is if you have a standing army with no other wars to fight.

No invading Canada, k? That's not nice.
Hey I am on your side here. There are much easier ways to get tiny bacon and maple syrup
