In my haste I didn't phrase my my response adequately it was more me personally venting since I too live in Sunnyside and 1/4 of our condo's property is in the flood periphery zone. If the waters did reach that level it'll be trouble since the water will rush right into the basement suites.
I think this is quite frankly the Provence folding its arms and saying that the municipalities should shoulder more of the burden in "community based protection". They are not willing to take flak now for spending big bucks on a event that may or may not happen in the next 50 years. Quite frankly they are throwing a dozen or so communities under the bus knowing that ~5% of the electorate lives in flood prone areas their tone would be different if it were ~20% like in Manitoba.
Stay tuned, I think Nenshi a few select words for the Provence... Hopefully from his banned noun list.
