🇨🇦 Third Landslide in a Decade: Province Still Has No Answers for Old Fort

A 400-metre landslide has cut off 150 residents of Old Fort, B.C. for the third time since 2018, and the Ministry of Transportation still can't explain why it keeps happening. The road shifted 62 metres in days, homes are worthless, and all Victoria offers is monitoring and vague promises of a study once the current disaster stops. Deep seated geological instability was confirmed, yet no permanent solution exists after nearly a decade of repeated failures.

This is infrastructure collapse in slow motion. Residents can't sell, can't plan, can't retire. They're trapped in a community the state has functionally abandoned while pretending geotechnical staff scribbling measurements on crumbling asphalt counts as governance. More work needs to be done—the bureaucrat's eternal hymn while rural Canada slides into the river.
