9. It's really unfuckingbelievable

To me, thinking back to my business law class, it's clearly criminal negligence (I saw the interview with the former employee on CBC). A reasonable person could see this would happen and the people in charge, which includes an engineer, definitely should've known.

Also, Bill Bennett was a total asshole to the CBC reporter today when he was lying about how many warnings there had been. She was trying to call him on it and he got all testy. I think that shows that there's something 'there' as you say, related to the donations. I had to LOL when they were saying, "there wasn't multiple warnings, there was one. The other warnings weren't about the pond, they were only about the company not draining the pond when asked."

Interesting comments. I want to get into the comment about fiduciary duty but we'd be here forever...needless to say, lots of people in this company were not doing their job.

It's also totally shocking about Christie Clark TWEETING instead of getting out in front of this and visiting the area. She has always seemed more politically astute than that. They are clearly trying to minimize what happened. I hope it bites them in the ass.
