The mayor of flood-struck Abbotsford, B.C., says he is disappointed and frustrated with the federal government over what he calls “inaction” on cross-border flooding that has repeatedly inundated his city.

Ross Siemens said he had not been contacted by the federal government about this week’s flooding, which has forced hundreds of households to evacuate, inundated poultry barns and forced livestock relocations.

Les inondations dans la vallée du Fraser, en Colombie-Britannique, obligent les familles et les agriculteurs à fuir une situation que beaucoup ont déjà connue, alors qu’un système météorologique de rivière atmosphérique a provoqué des débordements dans la province et dans l’État de Washington.
