Canada needs a community rating system to tame rising flood costs While a national flood insurance program can close the protection gap for high-risk homes, unless communities take steps to reduce their exposure, costs will only escalate.

“We can’t insure our way out of the flood crisis. But we can design smarter policies that combine protection with prevention.” says @jasonthistle.bsky.social in this @hilltimes.com article. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...

Amazing @tyolsen.bsky.social. Whether it's municipalities taking advantage of weak provincial land-use rules to develop in high risk zones, or the federal government funding rebuilding in the same areas, there is always someone else to blame.
