🚨 Tens of thousands of chickens dead in Sumas Prairie.
Another devastating blow to our farmers and food security. The price of ignoring the 2015 "substandard" dike ratings is too high.

In this century, when every local study warns of rising risks, not preparing is no longer an 'Act of God.' It is an act of negligence.
We cannot keep accepting the same failures and the same excuses while our communities flood.

We have reports from 1993, 2015, and 2018 telling us exactly what to do. We don't need another meeting to "find solutions." We need the funding to build them.
Everything else is just a photo op. 📸

Water levels are finally dropping at the Sumas Border Crossing. But don’t mistake a reprieve for a solution. As the water recedes, the 'Accountability Void' usually opens up. We need a fix, not just gravity. #IndependentJournalist #WatersOfNeglect #Sumas

Close scrutiny of the official response uncovers a disturbing truth: the finger-pointing is not a prelude to action, but a substitute for it. The administration has constructed a fortress of blame, hiding behind jurisdictional disputes to mask a fundamental lack. #BCFlood

The press conference served as the latest exhibit in a decades-long pattern of avoidance. Rather than offer solutions, officials resurrected the ‘jurisdictional void’ defence, pointing accusing fingers at Ottawa and Washington to distract from the structural failures. #BCFlood

I’m watching the cameras down in Sumas, WA, and there is finally some good news: the water is slowly receding.
But do not let your guard down yet.
We are looking at another rainstorm on the way. We are effectively in the lull right now. Use this time to prepare, stay alert.

Abbotsford schools are closed today due to flooding.
This is the "hidden cost" of the 2003 Policy Trap. When we underfund prevention, we pay for it in lost school days, closed businesses, and disrupted lives.
