Rivers flowing north. A Canadian politician was once making some remarks at an event along the Niagara River. Sorry if this is insulting, but while the obvious flow of all the Great Lakes is west to east, draining into the St. Lawrence and the Atlantic, the Niagara connecting Lakes Erie and Ontario happens to flow from south to north. Ontario/Canada to the west, NY/USA to the east. The minister unfortunately said something like: we have to prevent jobs from flowing south into the U.S., as this river does. Somebody whispered something to him and he said: I guess somebody has to get fired.

The Red River (French: rivière Rouge or rivière Rouge du Nord) is a river in the north-central United States and central Canada. Originating at the confluence of the Bois de Sioux and Otter Tail rivers between the U.S. states of Minnesota and North Dakota, it flows northward through the Red River Valley, forming most of the border of Minnesota and North Dakota and continuing into Manitoba. It empties into Lake Winnipeg, whose waters join the Nelson River and ultimately flow into Hudson Bay.

Yes, #1.
The speakers in 2, 3 and 4 are charming.

Is this a contest to see who can name the most north flowing streams? So beat this: the Mississippi River flows north.

(Meanders near New Madrid and St Louis).

I love contests.

#1 A long definition of the two-word code "Yes Dear".

#1 is sage advice. Most males do not understand this until later in life.

The Ohio River flows northwest for awhile.

I liked hearing about why the Truckee River isn't special and I liked the water wheel.

I never find the comedy of the juice woman funny. Maybe I would if I knew people who were like the ones she's satirizing, but I don't, so I don't know if she is dead on, or if she's way off in the same way leftist comedians are when they try to satirize conservatives.

Broadway Barbara has caused many laughs, shared laughs too

North rivers and water wheel.

Green Juice woman easily. Next is Water Wheel Woman. The North River guy was pleasant and informative. I'm not crazy about Broadway Barbara's comedy. Spouse Agree is pretty straight up but nothing new.

"The New River flows north."

That you're pointing that out strongly suggests that you didn't watch the video! He makes fun of people who think their river is special because it flows north.

I have said that exact same thing about the New River and the Nile (and in pretty much that accent, since that’s my part of the country). Now I have to wonder if my claim that the New River is the second-oldest river in the world is accurate.
