There are a lot of variables at play here, and a lot of people were affected by the flood.
There needs to be a reason the government would move the dam downstream of the Bragg Creek dam.
If it is due to costs and complexity of construction (as it appears to be based on posts in this thread), I may well support that. After all, the taxpayers are funding this flood mitigation.
As I don't live in the area, have time to read the AMEC reports and drive out to both sites, sit and reflect on all that I have learned... I sort of have to trust our government on this one unless I see some irrational reason for them picking a site.
