Jee-zuz! Why don't you both take a stroll down to the river and lob in a sandbag or two - from the membership. We'll call it CC's contribution to the flood relief effort
First you claimed I did not include the south, then when I pointed out that I did include the south, your change your tune to and say I included places not in the flood zone..
You're just being a troll now..
Did that yesterday, was helping folks get stuff out of their homes.. what you didn't see the photos and what I stated??
I even gave out sandwiches and juice to homeless sitting on the street. Seems Edmonton Trail has become a refuge to the homeless effected by the flood. (they are sitting in store fronts)
Nah... it'll be another boom but with no wealth. Destruction brings in jobs, but no wealth.
I just got off the phone wth my bro. My niece wants to come home to finish her degree at UofR in fear of the rent gouging that is already starting to hit. She gave notice at the end of June for the end of the month before the flood and now won't be able to find anything.
No Problem. Us poor folk in our high &^ dry modest neighbourhoods get good jobs. No driving school bus for 14,000.00 a year.
Clean up & construction - here I come..
Want to buy a sea can of laminate or solid hardwood flooring? I'll set you up with 12000sq ft for $32K for 3/4 prefinished white oak.
I like this quote:
"To me that was the real issue with the report, if you’re going to [build there] the individuals themselves are responsible," he said. "When you have a disaster, don't be looking for the government to bail you out when you build in these areas."

Except for the massive grass fires that run through Nose Hill every 4-5 years
The vast majority of South Calgary had zero flooding... A handful of neighbourhoods along the Bow in the SE and the immediate communities along the Elbow just off of downtown got nailed.... But like Gerry said, hardly anyone in South Calgary was impacted
Unfortunately, the 'Big flood plain' runs from Crescent heights bluff to Bankview....
Calgary Stampede 2013: Hell Or High Water
Well, it will most likely have to overcome high water as opposed to hell, but The Greatest Outdoor Show On Earth will go on this year. When you see video of Calgary Flood devastation you wonder how it’s all possible, then you remember this is Calgary.
It will look different, but it will go on. And that’s a damn good thing.
It’s about community spirit. It’s about not giving in. It’s about showing the world we know how to ‘cowboy up’ and ‘git’er done.’
ok then

Oh , dear 'God's littler Eagle':
TEXAS, that' haven of Atheist Socialism" has crash barrages on all its major rivers UPSTREAM of its' major metro areas. OF course we can't protect Calgary with 'diversion ditches. We CAN with flood control structures.- IN the Canyons. UPSTREAM>
DURRY- please- no more ........

Looks like they lost already.. :roll: - not a great slogan for this incident.

If the Stampede Board and City can pull it off, it will be a stroke of marketing genius.
On a related note: Step outside and take a look at the moon tonight.
It's spectacular.
... Everything is gonna be OK

Wouldn't it make a hell of a lot more sense just to postpone it for a month, it's not like there is going to be any more important venues tying up the facilities?
It's not only "don't offer flood policies to people in areas of high risk", it's any home owner. Insurance doesn't cover 'overland' floodwaters. (comes in through windows, doors, cracks in foundation). Only if the 'water' comes up through sewage drains. I found that out the hard way.
