Alberta flood zone development was a mistake, former MLA says

Gee, do you think?

To come to that conclusion took them 6 years?

Hey, for the govt, that's pretty quick

Every time I consider buying property in Edmontons' river valley, I look on the banks and about 30m above the valley floor you can see marks where the river at one time wore away the banks. And I think . . .nooo, I don't think so.

River flood plains are for farms, not for homes.

It's funny reading this. The conservative MLA complaining about his own party was replaced with Daniel Smith. Alberta tried hard to throw these Liberal bums out but the media propped them up.

Instead of building dykes on the Bow river these Liberals gave Calgary more money to spend on Druh Farells Liberal pedestrian bridges. Calgarians are still screaming about it. The latest Druh Farrell liberal project is half finished and half way in Medicine hat!

Yup, we can put part of the blame on the officials who allow development in flood zones but some of it goes on the idiots who buy up these places.

Look dear how pretty it is here, and we can see the river.
What about floods?
The last one was in 1952.
Oh, that's a long time ago, where do we sign?

...and then they'll be surprised by the fact that they can't get flood insurance.

How's that flooding between your ears?

Hows the poutine between your ears? I hope your basement fills up with water real soon .

In Cambridge, one of the main streets downtown is called Water St. Not so much because it runs parallel to the Grand River through that part of the city but because it was frequently under water when the Grand would overflow its banks.

I thought I was on your ignore list, you can't resist my charm, can you?

I'm about 60 feet above the St-Laurence, even if all the icecaps melt, I should be safe.




I don't know how you can stand hearing all that sloshing around in your head.

I took you off ignore only to respond to your asshole troll comments. I know you are a heartless bastard who would make fun of some ones situation.

You must get punched in the mouth a lot or take a different tone when you're not hiding behind your computer.

I didn't make fun of people who got flooded, I only made fun of you... please try to keep up.

I'm sure Rayden gets punched in the head a lot. A tradition carried on from his mother.
