Don't be so gullible

RE:Water and the population


Mr Brown's solution to our debatable water shortage is to jack up the price of water 200-300%. This kind of talk is exactly what the city wants and this is why the city has been crying water shortage for the last twenty years. The city is trying to earn top dollar for selling water much the same as the oil companies want top dollar for their product.

If there truly was this shortage, wouldn't you think the city would use some of the money they receive from developers and either make a water storage facility or use another one of our many area lakes as another reservoir for our use.

Some say that it is unfair to try and slow the growth in Kelowna in case our grand children want to move here, but will they ever be able to afford to live here? Some complain about the golf courses using water to keep the grass green but all of them along with the remaining orchards in this area, are what makes this valley beautiful.

I would like to see this study that was done here in the valley that supposedly said we were the worst water hogs. I call poppycock!
We have to stop being so gullible, not every thing you hear on T.V. is gospel, sometimes you are being manipulated to think a certain way so when they introduce a carbon tax or HST or water increases, we except it as fact and that it will be good for us. Money money its all about the money!
