CWB business model?

[TOM4CWB]

Farmaholic,

I can work in ANY system there is... if folks are honest and do not deceive our farm.

The CWB tries to both... cheat and tell me I am too stupid... to market grain... what a joke.

Get over it OBERG/CWB... it is NOT 1930. I have a smart phone and do not need you to baby sit our farm!

If you head to North Dakota anytime soon you'll get the tires on your truck slashed and the windows smashed out. It's not friendly down there right now.

Braveheart.

Do you have any proof to back that up?

In other words, have you checked with the Minot police to see if there has been even one vandalism reported?

The folks and businesses of Minot will tell you that they hate to say it but every drop of water that passes through their city is sent onto Manitoba.

What it tells me is that you do not build in a floodplain. If you do so you should know who is to blame.

[Braveheart]

Someone who works for the Minot police has said there hasn't been one reported case yet. A bodyshop in Brandon has apparently done repairs sustained at the mall parking lot in Minot.

Some local people here claim to have been turned away from a business in Bottineau.

I don't know what to make of this without firsthand proof. I have many good friends around Rolla. An ex girlfriend (from 36 years ago) and her ND State Police brother that I'd rather not see. But other than that friendly people.

There is a lot of internet chatter bout this. But your're right. Build on a floodplain and someday you'll get wet.

Did I not remember the US putting money into the Rafferty dam to help keep the Souris from doing this?

What North Dakota paid was for ten feet of storage protection at the Alameda dam. It could easily be argued that Alameda's contribution to the flooding was minimal as Rafferty was opened to its maximum spillway design capacity of 500 cubic meters/sec, and if it had been designed for a greater release it would have been opened to that capacity. You do not fool around, and cannot be concerned about downstream impacts when dams could breach. Those dams and operators did their jobs for handling the snow melt. Subsequent rainfall basin drainage totals, well!, not even Tom's god could have predicted those.

Rafferty was for storage capacity that could be diverted to Boundary for cooling for our power plants, and it will never be drained to protect anything on either side of the border in a floodplain no matter who complains.

I know ND senators want our dams dry. That is not going to happen.
