Hey there, time traveller!

The Manitoba government announced today it will pay pre-flood market value for 42 homes on Crown land at north Breezy Point.
"The government is very sympathetic to the plight of flood-prone lot holders and has carefully considered how to deal with the ongoing flooding issues at Breezy Point,” Conservation Minister Stan Struthers said.
“Flood prevention and protection measures in this area are not viable and flooding will continue to pose an ongoing risk to the lives of both cottagers and rescuers for as long as settlement remains in this area.”
Due to the risk to cottagers and rescuers, the province said it will decommission the Breezy Point north subdivision.
Although the government called the buyouts voluntary, Struthers made it clear that any Crown leases held by home owners would not be renewed.
He also said the province has the power to wind up the leases before they run their natural course. Some leases don’t come due for more than a decade.
