The Liberals want to create an insurance program to protect against future flooding.

I think its comical that the Wildrose is suggesting they'd have done anything leading up to this. I criticized them during the election because they wanted to hack the natural disaster spending that was budgeted at $500m down to $100m. Of course now they are saying the government should've acted on an old flood mitigation strategy and things like that. Pretty clearly, the Wildrose wouldn't have acted any differently in this regard, except that they'd have $400m less that was budgeted to deal with it. |
It will be a sad day and era if the Wild Rose are ever in power.
I actually fear the damage they'd do in the short time they'd have control. I hope to never see that day in my lifetime.
