Today, Canada would have had to build 1/2 of a seaway, stopping at the middle of the river (half a lock: smaller ships?), because some American left wing anti-capitalist organization of environmental nutbags would have found 18 species of river-bottom scum who couldn't be relocated without sensitivity training, and couldn't be just killed off because...well...just BECAUSE, you see?
I mean, like, rover-bottom scum have the same rights as people, don't they? And, worldwide, no Aswan Dam, no Suez Canal, no railroads, no power plants, no highways. Yes, it would certainly be a different world... |
