A new ground target for our CF-18s?

Action in Manitoba, learning from the Chinese?

An environmental impact study would certainly find that a catfish could be injured and some beavers disturbed, so that’s unlikely to be an approved ice control method here.

China’s response to global warming — bomb the glacial ice!

I’d be a bit concerned that they might take out the bridge.

Heh heh heh heh heh … he said beavers.
Reminds me of the beavers that moved in to a creek near our home: they devastated the trees in in a town park and dammed the creek. Waters were edging towards some homes, so experts were called in to trap and relocate the beavers. The humane traps worked flawlessly, catching all of the little furry critters. Then a downpour ensued, flooding the pond, submerging the traps, and drowning the beavers in the traps.
No word on whether or not aerial bombing was considered.
Getting back to China: look at all the brown stuff churned up by those explosions! Either they missed the ice and river, or that’s one polluted river.

It looks like a Chinese version of the Badger bomber, so it could be claimed to be the natural predatory behaviour of the Badger.

Can the Canadian A.F handle the expected CF-18 losses?

“Provincial Amphibex icebreakers were on standby for spot duty, but it’s dangerous to deploy them during ice jams, Mohr said.”
Of course!

In Europe they use helicopters to drop charges on avalanch sites. Here we use artillery.
Helicopters make sense..as long as the guy that lights it drops the charge.

But who do we nominate to deal with UXO?

Bombs.
In our rivers.
In Canada.
We’re not making this up.
Vote early. Vote often. Vote Liberal.

In the news today: “Catfish guts rain down on Portage & Main.” Film at eleven.

A new ground target for the F-35 when AGW doesn’t materialize and a new mini Ice Age takes its place in the LSM…
I look forward to the 2015/16 election when PMSH expands his majority…

Miss !
They bombed the shore.

Great photos!! The people on on Winnipeg Main will mistake this for an exploding meth lab, and the drug trade will go to ratshit! Talk about killing two birds with one “stoning.”

@RFC – lmao!
Back in the day they used to dynamite the river, don’t know why they stopped. Maybe they could rig a couple CL-215s to drop napalm on the jams…. 😀

Sher Khan said “Back in the day they used to dynamite the river, don’t know why they stopped.”
The enviros complained about the poor fishies getting killed. Not kidding, that’s the reason.
Same thing in Ontario, every year an ice dam forms at the bottom of the Grand River. In days of old, like the 1990’s, a few sticks of dynamite sent under the ice with the current solved the problem. These days a multi-million dollar ice breaker comes to do it. If the ice dam forms -above- the bridge in Dunville though, that’s a problem. Two or three years ago they had a 100 year flood because MOE couldn’t get their thumbs out of their @$$e$ quick enough. Every dock and landing between Selkirk and Brantford got scraped away by the ice. They just needed to wait one more day and they’d have started losing bridges.
Because of -carp-. Not kidding.

I’ve had a real brainstorm, build some earthen barriers that keep the river out of the flood plain. I’m surprised nobody ever thought of this before, six thousand years of human history and finally a solution to the mystifying flood problem. Thank goodness, now Holland won’t be flooded every year too.

Very clever of you to direct us to a page with a poll on who one the leaders debate!
As for the Red River flood … I live less than 1/3 of a mile from the river … the biggest threat is the freekinmorons on river lots who breached the dikes to improve their view … that and the ones who actually built beyond the dike… although that second group is merely a threat to themselves and anyone sorry enough to help them bag.

one = won ……….. sheesh …………..

“the biggest threat is the freekinmorons on river lots who breached the dikes to improve their view … that and the ones who actually built beyond the dike…”
yup, and every year when the drama starts I wonder the same thing. You would think if your house was at risk of flooding every couple years you would either move or do something more permanent about it. There’s a good reason why the settlers in this area didn’t establish their homesteads on the riverbank!

Has only one other person noticed that the mighty Chinese military bombed the shore, not the ice? That’s dirt going up in smoke.

They didn’t miss……

In the Rogers Pass they retired the 25 pounders years back…ammo too pricey….they use helos when it’s clear enough to fly….otherwise they use custom-made rocket projectors.
Exactely…..I’m impressed I thought I was the only one….

That’s what occurs in shallow water but it’s China….so that’s likely “night soil” (floaters and sinkers). I usually describe the polution is such you can walk on their rivers….in July….
Phantom is right about the stupid carp….
Remember the same element that fears civilian firearms, CO2, radiation, alsofears explosives as well and then are the first to yell “Police Brutality”…..

A bit of dynamite – distressing as it might be to any nearby carp – would cause a lot less environmental damage than all that water carrying I-don’t-want-to-know-what with it. As for the idiots who breach the dyke to enhance their view: they should be responsible for any costs arising from the ensuing flooding of their neighbours.
