YPM water haul

Post by cdnflyer85 »

There is the possibility that the water out of YQT was from a local company. In emergency situations such as this in YPM, sometimes it's not a matter of where the supplies come from, just as long as they get there and in a timely fashion.
I agree, it would be easier to haul such loads out of YRL or even YWG, but in desperate times, it calls for desperate measures. Not to mention this situation occured over the weekend and trying to get a water company to supply such loads in that short amount of time is quite the demand.
I think the water company and the airline that aided the water crisis in YPM did a great job and should be commended for it.

Kudos to Wasaya Airways & Kakebeka Crystal Water.

Or was this also a case of "Who gives a shit how much water we use to put out our school that is obviously going to burn to the ground no matter what we do, because the white man will bring us more water at his expense?"

Who paid for the water haul?

Who in the hell would exhaust their community's only water supply in order to "save" a school that is engulfed in flames?

What a godam*ed shit show.

Correct me if I am wrong but is Pik surrounded by water?

I guess they didn't want any impurities in the water to put out the fire at the school just in case they did save it. Kids might get sick if they went back.

I know I'm going to regret asking, but what exactly happened? And doesn't Cat Lake have the monopoly on burning down schools?
