This wouldn't have happened if people just got vaccinated
Climate change is here and now.
The solution is simple: just add another carbon tax. Voila!
Positive vibes go out to those affected🙏
Blame the unvaccinated it's very popular now.
they might want to get rid of the lake again, who knows? it's going to cost money, time, and take weeks to dry up.
um the irony of the rain in the background
THIS IS WHAT TRUE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT FAILURE LOOKS LIKE
Where is this?
Compliments to all people and organisations that help. Situation seems terrible and perhaps will get worse as i hear in this video but efforts seem to be top. That part of the situation is great.
Prayers and best wishes to all.
This failed government has as simple explanation for screwing everything up. They hired based on colour of skin and gender not capabilities or character.
I learned from my teacher that the Fraser Valley used to be a lake yes but that villages and houses that used to live here before us when they drained the lake their houses ended up as Atlantis
Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until His wrath has passed by. See, the LORD is coming out of his dwelling to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The earth will disclose the blood shed upon her; she will conceal her slain no longer. From THE PINEAPPLE EXPRESS. The one you persecuted.
Thudeau spent a Trillion dollars enjoying the infrastructure spending yet?

Pretty unusual flooding….of course it’s going to affect farmland prairie land. Blame has no place in the emergency….but all hands on deck gets the job done, then any complaints will or can be addressed.
Thankyou Mayor Braun, and the first responders, Abbotsford PD, all police and firefighters, and all those keeping order and service to our city and flooding disaster!
A environmental scientist explained how this happened. Nothing conspiracy about it. These floods have happened they’re explained why.
Hi Can you do a flight over the part of the highway where the emergency block dike dam is being built to damming off the highway area that is flooded and fly down to 500 feet or lower, as you can do that now as there are no persons below to getting an accurate works assessment to that program to sorting out as to how long it will take to open the highway. And of course post it ASAP, Chilliwack has run out of FOOD AND FUEL!
This is the will of the creator and mother nature…we mere humans do not have power over the Earth.. despite popular opinion…
God bless Canada
7000 people gone from Merritt and it only got 2 days reported shame on u global news
Oh and one death in Merritt flooding
No politicians have lost their homes to flooding.
Notice the mocking bird media has a new term…atmospheric river? Btw, where is your government people? Why did it take them so long to even show up to the party? Why were most having to rely on private citizens to be rescued? Why were they having to rely on private citizens for boats, helicopters, planes, equipment and food supplies? All these talking heads have to use their force field which supposedly protects them from criticism and it’s mentioning First Nations…even if they do t send any help to them. Also notice how the mockingbird media praises the government for all their supposedly good deeds? They also point out one or two private citizens for rescue efforts as if there was only that many…when they were the bulk of the rescue.
Btw…just curious…why did they take days to open the flood gates?
Part of me is happy to see certain fake farms flooded. Saying it's a farm but their place look like a hotel mansion instead so they can cheat the government on there taxes 👳
The virus was maybe born there made there who knows
