So last week of the big water mains in Calgary broke, causing mandatory outdoor water restrictions and threats the supply would dry up if we didn't stop flushing the toilet. After covid some people are very skeptical of these things, leading to the commie mayor saying "This is not a joke and it is certainly not a conspiracy. It is serious." https://archive.is/mW3rv
Now they want a permeant watering schedule, allowing Calgarians to use sprinklers for just three hours a day, two days a week, between 8:00 pm and 10:00 am.
They did that where I lived in Texas at the time way back in the bad 2011 drought. I've never heard of them being enforced unless there is a real drought, but they are on the books permanently. I don't think there are any where I live now. It's generally up to the municipality.
The whole "save the water" mindset drives my logic centers crazy anyway. All of the water around here is generally from lakes that fill from rainwater. When the lakes are full and there's plenty of rain (like this year) there is no reason to care about conserving water. If there's no capacity to store what's left, it ends up in the ocean. Not to mention the whole concept of the water table aside from that.
People in Calgary pay very high rates and by the cubic meter. So if someone wants to turn their back yard into a jungle then they'll pay for it. I wonder if they want the control or the money from the water fund is 'leaking' to pay for woke shit.
The water supply would be less likely to dry up if they deported all the non-Canadians.
Last year we apparently added 200k people in a city that was 1.4 million.

Following right in the footsteps of California.

The other circuitous BS they always do involves all of these conserve municipal water schemes through threats & prodding.
Then #Shocked_Pikachu_face#, municipal water usage actually goes down, along with their revenue to fund the infrastructure.
So they subsequently jack up the mill rates for water usage because their smoothbrained conservation plans can no longer fund the system's upkeep.
Resulting in both rationing & expense-as-fuck tax bills.
That's not smooth-brain, that's actually a very clever scam they got going there.
Yep. Once they raise rates, it most certainly will stay raised.
How the fuck does Canada of all places have water shortages?
This is a city in Alberta with somewhat high elevation, so it has a rather dry climate.
Because in 1 year we (and by we I mean Blackface) imported 2.3 million people. Calgary itself added almost 1/4 mil last year.

Canada has some very prestine water.. the "new canadians" will shit it up literally in no time.
Next on the agenda - bug eating and stylish and totally livable pods.
