You know, I was going to defend my home state but as I typed my comment I realized that she has no redeeming qualities aside from being pretty when no people are around. Especially where I’m from.
It’s all cousin fucking and methamphetamines. I wouldn’t take a job that offered me $100 an hour to go back. Seriously. I hate even driving through the shithole.
We can spare Huntington. It can be an island. Residents will approve as their property values will increase because now they have a lake as a neighbor instead of West Virginia.
It's considerably more insane because its doubling an existing massive river from northern Saskatchewan up to the exit point for no reason. Particularly in an area where there isn't enough infrastructure to support begin to support such an operation.
Using the same start point you already have the Mackenzie river going to Lake Athabasca. From there you have existing rivers and canals getting you to Lake Winnipeg, albeit somewhat inefficiently and would need expanding to get bigger ships through. Although you might need some locks to be added to get around the dams on Lake Winnipeg.
Making the only real canal section being Winnipeg to Superior, and then you're in the great lakes.
If you want the crazy option, get up to Lake Athabasca then go out through the Peace River to end at Bella Bella Coola, BC. Only have to cross several massive mountain ranges and do the crazy descent from BCs central interior plateau down to the ocean.
Sounds like you should speak with Robert Evans (not the director, the journalist) of Behind the Bastards, he wants to nuke the great lakes, so may as well tie your plan into his.
Shoot, one of Alaska's biggest northern settlements, if not the biggest, is an oil work camp. Look up Deadhorse / Prudhoe Bay. The road up there is totally worth taking if you're into birdwatching or really rugged roughing it.
Use the leftover slag to close off the Mediterranean at Gibraltar too while we're in Simcity God mode here.
The Kajigger of Gibraltar????

Maybe it’s better up north.
How many places in the world do you think you could describe as cousin fucking meth heads and have someone go "sounds like my hometown"
I'm from Florida and doesn't sound like it's narrowing down any of the lists that I have...
If your top of the head answer isn't Palatka or Ocala though...
First time I've seen Ocala referenced on here and it's about cousin fucking and meth. Wouldn't have it any other way.
Never change, Florida.
more than I would like
Most.
No, that's US Defaultism, fuck off with that shit.
Here it's all cousin fucking and alcoholism.
Apart from the progressive town Glasgow, transcending borders by having all 3
Oh that's an accent? Sorry, thought it was meth jaw.
Same here, I think. I drink alot and I fuck alot, and do not know who my cousins are. But hey! Free healtchare 👌
If you don't know your cousins, how do you know you've never "known" your cousins?
Cousin fucking and meth? Well damn, I guess I'm buying me a trailer!
It would be good for wind power, maybe. Fuck lets just turn it into a giant nuclear power plant.

Average billionaire be like
Ocean front property in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Saskatchewanians will only allow this if we're allowed to directly pump oil into it 😂😂😂
Turning West Virginia into a lake would be quite a benefit.
Ah for just one time, I would take the Northwest passage to the sea.
Westward from the Potomac, t'is there t'was said to lie The sea route to the orient for which so many died
God I love his songs.
It's been six years since we sailed away, and I just made Halifax yesterday! God damn them all!
Cant find a Northwest Passage? Make one!
Ah, for just one time, I would make the Northwest Passage...
This isn't any less insane than burning coal until the Northwest Passage opens.

One could make the case that the loss of West Virginia is a benefit in itself.
There is some fine white water rafting there though. I don't know what else, it's the only reason I've ever gone there. Nice curvy backroads too.

I miss the bagel throwing days
One pump one cream
Today's episode had the happiest of endings.
I usually wait till he's finished a topic before binging the whole topic. Was it only a 2 parter?
It ended up being a filler episode.
I mean come one, who has been hurt by a Nuke or two ..... I think we can do it.
Nestle vibes...
We need to make the northwest passage we have the northwest passage at home this post is northwest passage at home
Should be pretty easy! I hear digging canals with nukes is a great idea!
Could use that spinlaunch thing to skip a fucking massive flat stone across America
I bet there is oil in the Arctic, and OP is actually the US government. This is our future sheeple!!! Wake up!!!
I mean, there is oil in Alaska. Lots of it.
Shoot, one of Alaska's biggest northern settlements, if not the biggest, is an oil work camp. Look up Deadhorse / Prudhoe Bay. The road up there is totally worth taking if you're into birdwatching or really rugged roughing it.
That canal rips through the heart of the NWT, a hotbed of uranium, gold and diamond mining.
And gets close to the northern end of the tar sands.
You had me at "Hollow out West Virginia".
I have only one question: can I join? I‘ll bring my own shovel!
The Ohio & Erie Canal will rise again!
Lex Luthor has entered the chat
Isn't there such a canal in Russia? Connecting the baltic sea with... erhm.. ice.
