Woodley gets what she deserves for making people watch that insufferable piece of $hit movie series. I don't even care that she was at the protest.
I think the people in the waiting room thought I was loosing it I laughed so hard on that one!Wounded Elbow.
Just another example of the government bureaucracy getting in the way of progress.
The canal was not stopped because of hills it was stopped for the same reason NAWS was and a very sound reason and that is they don't want to mix water from two different watersheds. Imagine if the canal was built in reverse and brought red river water to the Mo. Bad news in that case with zebra mussels now running wild in the red. The separation of river drainages are the best protection we have against all the various ANS at this point so I certainly don't fault them or MB at this point since it sure seems like they had a valid point. The canal didn't get used for irrigation till about three years ago and I believe they want to expand on it.
I take it Contemporary History wasn't your strong suit? Jimmy Carter betrayed the citizens and State of North Dakota by caving into Canada on that project.

Of course, nobody has ever really demonstrated that there's the 1.1 million acres of irrigable lands within easy reach of the McClusky canal or James River, so that little technicality aside. There was also the prospect of delivering water to the Red River Valley during a drought, which the State still fights for (hence, the canal stays in place). Well, the canal stays in place also because of the enormous price tag of filling it back in at this point. Yep, Jimmy sold ND and its residents down the road to appease Canada.

Err, if that were really true...I'd think the Canadian government would want to shut down the Milk River diversion. You know, the water project that takes Missouri River Basin water and diverts it to Canada. Don't hear a lot of call for that though, do we?
I get it, there needs to be precautions when transferring water from one basin to another. But the Canadians actually listed PADDLEFISH as one of the species that is present in the Missouri River Basin that is not in Canada that would possibly be transferred. Today's renditions of M.R. transfers to either the Souris or Red River basins continues to be for Municipal, Rural, and Industrial only (not mass transfers for flood irrigation systems). And still the Canadians oppose this even when the U.S. has offered to treat the water to drinking water standards before crossing the divide. Instead they want it treated to an unacceptably high standard that far exceeds what you get out of your kitchen faucet. As does Minnetucky and Misery. Personally, I don't worry at all about a paddlefish coming out of my kitchen faucet.
At some point you have to recognize the opposition for what it really is, and that is the Canadians and Minnetuckians don't want ND to have widely available water of quality at an affordable cost. It would put ND at an economic advantage in the development of water intensive agricultural processing plants as we are generally a better place to do business. Water holds back that development.
The state if Misery? Well, they just think they own the fricking river because it's named after them.
Woodley stated in her Facebook video that police told her she was arrested "because I'm well-known (and) because I have 40,000 people watching." Other protesters were allowed to leave.
"We were going to our vehicle which they had all surrounded and (were) waiting for me with giant guns and a giant truck behind them just so they could arrest me," she says, claiming she was complying with orders to leave the protest when she was greeted by police. "I hope you're watching, mainstream media."
Twenty six other people were also arrested
Wow she should take great pride that law enforcement felt the need for giant guns and giant truck all just for her:::
