Or you could say 'These guys aren't doing enough for flood mitigation' so somebody asks you if you support the most shovel-ready, and important flood mitigation project for the city, you don't get this kind of cop out.
'We need to move faster on flood mitigation' and anything other than full on support for the Springbank dry-dam project are mutually exclusive positions.
