@cbcvancouver: In November 2021, Avtar Dhillon was among many Abbotsford residents hit hard by historic flooding. Dhillon said he was B.C.'s first to farm saffron on a large commercial scale and was devastated to see his entire crop underwater. Now, Dhillon has harvested a much smaller crop. He is also experimenting with different growing conditions so the world’s most expensive spice can thrive in B.C.'s climate. CBC’s Baneet Braich and Lien Yeung checked in on Dhillon and his hopes for the future. #abbotsford #britishcolumbia #bc #flood #sumasprarie #saffron #spice #farm #agriculture #naturaldisaster #climatechange #cbcnews #2021floods

They always complain when they lose money and beg for government handouts but do they like being taxed and giving money back or pay employees enough?

I mean if the lake that was there wasn’t filled in this probably wouldn’t have happened to such an extreme extent. Maybe that should be undone.
