Work continues on highway 6 bewteen Oyster Bed Bridge and Brackley Beach Saturday.
Highway six between Oyster Bed Bridge and Brackley Beach was one of the areas hit by flooding after heavy rain last week washed out a culvert and part of the roadway.
On Saturday heavy machinery was being used to repair the damage and a detour ciontinued go reroute traffic around the area. Workers ar the site were not prepared to say when the work would be completed.
The rains also caused damage to homes and many homeowners are finding out that their insurance will not cover flood damage.
I guess an article that involves repair to infrastructure can start a lot of commentary.
One sentence at the end of this article brings on so many uninformed rants. Big business is what it is. Read your policy. I'm sure you'd understand better what you are and aren't covered for. I'm no fan of big business, but the homeowners weren't victims of big business. They were victims of their own ignorance.
Finally a chance to talk about the most dispicable industry in the world. If you break the insurance industry down to the playground level it becomes simple to see how they screw us daily and continuously. IT IS A MAFIA. They use fear and intimidation and legislation on a very large scale to insure profits. It began the same way. It is run the same way. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THEY HAVE THE PROTECTION OF LAW. They have been systematically ripping us all off for a very long time. The worse offender in the insurance game is health care. They have taught us (fooled us, scared us, over many generations) that we need insurance and that it should be mandatory. Insurance was started by the rich for the protection of the rich. You see only the rich owned property. A slave owner could insure the life of his slave. That's expensive. How could the slave owner mitigate these costs to the slave. Let the indebted slave own something. Then pass laws to make it mandatory for all, house, car, health, life, etc., etc., Yes, they give an occasional payout for this or that, but hey, they pay us with our own money. You see, they have mitigated their risk to zero while your risks are kept artificially high, demanding higher premiums. The class system in place in our society gets revealed easily when you examine the insurance industry.
BILL BILL BILL... My poor deceived friend, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SYSTEM IS WORKING AS IT SHOULD, AS IT WAS DESIGNED TO. I am saying THROW OUT THE SYSTEM as it only allows for the rich to get richer (financially speaking, not spiritually). When I talk about banks I am not talking about your local Bank of Nova Scotia. I am talking about the handful of megabanks that control everything. It is easy to see that you have a vested interest in this system. Do you know how many corporations in the world have a greater GDP than Canada's? Did our fathers and grandfathers see this coming and plan for it? NO. We have been taken over, along with almost all other countries in the world.
As those who are fighting the idiocy of Plan B have argued all along: Why is the money for infrastructure not being spent where it's most needed? The flood damage is not caused by God. It's the rain that's caused by God. The damage is caused by a lack of human foresight and a lack of political will to address the problem though engineering. As engineers, we know where the problems are and we know where damage will likely occur in the future. But, we're provincial employees, we can't self-direct our work. Unless, that is, our politicians allow us to do so! In many ways, the villain here is the 30 million plus dollars being spent in Bonshaw; and look out, there's even more wasted spending to come this summer! The villain is not God, not provincial engineers, and certainly not the people who have been devastated by flood damage.
Please, if you have any important information, please "leak" it anonymously to the Stop Plan B organisers. They are good people and will keep your identity secret.
insurance it is simple ask if you are covered so it is the home owners fault. next time home owners call and ask.

The system, as you speak of it, is working as it's designed to work. Everyone will know when "the system" is broken when we see the CEO's of banks eating at the food banks, the politicians held accountable to their promises or the generals allowing themselves to be slaughtered at the front line. Nope, all is well with the system Bill, the problem is not with the top down, it's working fine . . . the problem is from the bottom up.
