Who TF said "Let the Western bastards swim" ???
I've been following this story closely as we have relatives and friends out west, and this is the first I've heard of that comment.
Does sound like something a Conbot would say about we "arrogant Ontarioans"........fukk you by the way.............fukking troll
It had been reported in the past that Klien made the statement, "let the eastern bastards freeze"
during the NEP time.
Yep, that was reported. We didn't. And. not all of us are bastards...............:lol:
Thankee Gerry.
Right on cue. Is his hand stretched out?

Wanna know what? You flippin' nailed.it.
Finally, somebody with a firm grip on reality.
Hallelujah!!!!
If an earth scientist suggested you were wrong, would you believe them?
Well, the C House sits in the middle of the Sask inland delta- evacuation there is a 'natural and regular phenomenon=- and its approx. 500 people.
Lethbridge is well designed, with only only bridges & Rec. facilities in the Valley- plus the water plant. The City fathers showed a lot of Foresight.
WOW You really are the 'uber troll ' this week, aren't you?
Suzuki is sometimes 'right on'. He has been saying for years 'don't build along river bottoms', and don't destroy water absorbing areas.
Good Point.
Downtown Calgary. aka fort Brisbois, is built on an Alluvial plain underlaid with groundwater streams.
a great place for a small prairie town, as good well water was easily available. As well as wood.
so we just kept on building ...

Not sure about that Boomer, 75,000 people probably represents 20,000 homes with damage up to a couple of hundred thousand$. Pretty sure some houses will have to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch. If there's water in the insulation the place is pretty well hooped.
This flood is going to hit the economy badly.. layoffs, closures, buildings demolished..
It may be a boost in construction, and other sectors.. dunno
Alberta government fund is only 200 million, not sure what the federal government kick in, but it will fallshort of the billions, upon billions of dollars to repair.

I wonder, being that the spring melt off is about to get underway, how much more damage.. infrastructure, transportation, rail lines out, hwy 1 washed away..
What about the Calgary Stampede in a few weeks??
Trans Canada highway Alberta..

Why they choose to rebuild in the same location is rather befuddling. Some still don't have homes after the last flood in 2011.
You can't fix stupid I guess.
