BC floods.

How much gas, oil, chemicals are flowing in the rivers
Now?

Wonder what effect this will have on anyone east of this?
What products might be difficult to get short term?

Brother in Penticton says store shelves are empty, People hoarding. Fuel could run out. Wonder if any gas/crude lines washed out/got exposed? 1000's of carcasses in the water...

The rail closures in B.C. don't seem to be of much concern to the share holders of CNR and CP as share prices have dropped minimal.

So the railways may be up and running in the very near future in washed out areas.

And expert from U.of Manitoba did say this morning that grain shipments could be effected the most out of any other commodity or other goods.

100s of billions promised in infrastructure spending over the decades and yet we still have only a couple routes to the west coast for as important as it is.

G3 built great infrastructure on the prairies and at the coast, in between could still cause a shitkicking to their bottom line.

Same goes for all the grain companies though, this might make them think more vertical as in north south as opposed to east west ????

[littledoggie]

It's time to focus on Prince Rupert. A much better potential rail route and a straight shot west through Dixon Entrance.

BC had record heat, near record drought, massive damage from wildfires, and then historic flooding all in the same year? The deaths from the heat dome topped 500 in BC. And climate change is nothing to worry about?

Who really thinks it is a good idea to build and farm in a former lake bed or near a river flood plain in this day and age?

We are woefully unprepared considering the obvious risks of climate change.

So 4 major weather related events in BC this year and climate change had nothing to do with it? LOL
