The flooding is now so commonplace here that we don't even notice it. We have had the once in a hundred year flood 3 times in the last 6 years. One of those wasn't even the result of spring thaw, but rather a good rainstorm in Saskatchewan at the end of June.
The thunderstorms aren't a big deal, and tent caterpillers need green leaves to live on.....we are prairie desert so it is a tough life for a tent caterpillar here. We might get one or two nests of them in a season....easily destroyed.
We now have a Liberal government, so tax increases will be the norm for at least another couple years. However, it is no longer tax increases, it is "carbon tax", which somehow is revenue neutral. Someone needs to explain that one to me, unless "revenue neutral" means I will no longer have any revenue left to spend.
