I came across this article from yesterday, have a read and take a look at the comment section. The reaction to the flood damage by some in the USA is night and day to what is said here on the Canadian side. As always two sides to every story but I hope the City of Hamilton takes into consideration the comments being made, before they spend one dollar more on the repairs to our flood damage. We have another spring to get thru and has the potential to be a repeat of this years flooding.

"Unprecedented precipitation caused Lake Ontario to flood: it had nothing to do with international regulation of lake levels, i.e. Plan 2014. Neither would the 1958 plans have protected the shoreline in this case."
I had a couple friends drive their boat over to Fifty Point from the Beach on the weekend and they couldn't believe the vast damage to the shoreline along the way.
On another note, I see the water level has finally lowered to the second wrung on the ladders in canal, a small change, but a change for the better.
