Winnipeg Beach - The porous Doer dyke

Last fall $8 million dollars were spent on a dyke around the southern parts of Lake Winnipeg. Now, apparently millions more must be spent to clean up the mess. It is increasingly apparent that the effort involved much waste of taxpayer dollars by the Doer government.

The more I learn, the more it is apparent that aspects of the Doer dyke were not well planned or well thought out. The photos above show an example. In the top photo - sand bags are shown around the Boundary Creek marina at Winnipeg Beach. In the bottom photo, you can see a big gaping porous gap below the walkway and deck was not sandbagged or protected at all rendering the rest of the sandbagging next to useless. Sadly, in this venue, as in some many other areas, Doer's good intentions have turned out to be full of holes.

I want to add that these photos were provided to me. I was hoping to get to Winnipeg Beach to visit to see the situation for myself, but was not able to.
