Anyways, thank you for the few people who wandered down the bluff and offered help. One guy filled sand bags for 2 hours and did a fantastic job.

One suggestion, if you do not live in Sunnyside and are not there to help directly, please get out of the way. Don't park in the small dry areas and block us trying to get in and out to buy pumps and supplies. Please just park up on the hill and gawk from there.

Now if you want to help please by all means come on down, park and offer. We may not need you right now, but your offer is heart felt appreciated. Thanks again.

I too live in Sunnyside. Spent the day on 5th Street and will be back there today. Every house on the east side of Sunnyside (East of 5A street) appears to have wet basements. We had pumps and generators running out of nearly every house.

WTF CP, the point has been made. Now let it go and think about if you want to be part of the pack picking at his bones. His Facebook account has been deleted and he's lost a job reference. This will follow him forever and that's too high a price. We are way better than a pack of Internet bullies. I hope some of you go back and remove his name from your posts. It's embarrassing for that to have been a focus of so many posts.

Andy Greshner kicked Alberta while we were down. Andy Greschner told Albertans to eat #### and die while they were suffering great pain. Andy Greschner showed no mercy.

Drumheller is next, 3500 people moved out. Supposed to be around 2005 levels.

Like I said in an earlier post, people in Britain (read Europe) can and have been prosecuted for things that are posted on social media sites.

If the worst thing that happens to Andy Greschner is that he loses a potential job reference and people close to him are a bit disappointed, then, in my opinion, he's gotten off very lightly. I think that a bit of naming and shaming is far less problematic for him then a six month custodial sentence.

Or maybe his anger management and insecurity issues deepen, lead to depression, and he hangs himself.

Way to go CP cyber-bullies.

IIRC the prison is on the high ground, before you drop into town, I can't see them being affected.

I have a exam to write tomorrow at SAIT, does anyone know any information in regards to SAIT ? I seem MRU has postponed exams, but it's harder to get into that area then SAIT right now.

Thanks. The exam is through someone wise it's just written at SAIT so I guess I won't be writing again.

speaking of exams, diploma exams are off for Calgary students.

[PeteLFan]

Did he actually have to say that or is it some internet picture drawn up to be funny?
