Show Notes

For the week of Nov. 21, 2021

British Columbia’s year of Natural Disasters and Pandemic got worse.

Heat dome. Wildfires. A parade of atmospheric rivers, formerly known as pineapple expresses.

(City of Abbotsford)

The weekend after Remembrance Day will not be forgotten anytime soon, for the devastating rain, floods, landslides and winds in Southern B.C.

Death and destruction. More economic chaos.

The recovery will take months, if not years, and cost in the billions of dollars.

The meteorologists did their job, so why was the B.C. NDP government slow to react? Why didn’t it warn the public?

On this edition, hear highlights form the week that was, including Premier John Horgan, Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth, Green Party leader Sonia Furstenau, Abbotsford BC Liberal Bruce Banman, Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun and Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon MP Brad Vis.

Plus commentary and Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines.
