Continuation of the Edmonton Disaster Scenario

After Tuesday's discussion and our thinking of how different areas of Edmonton would be affected got me thinking about the same phenomena on a larger scale. In terms of Alberta, Edmonton would be better off than the other cities that don't have as ready a water source as us. On this note I was imagining if battles over fresh water were to occur in the province how would Edmonton stand up to the challenge. Ideally, I would like to say Edmontonians as a whole would stand together and defeat the surrounding attacking villages; however, after discussions of how different areas of the city would fight amongst one another got me thinking, what does unite Edmontonians into one solid unit. This class, for example, is one way of finding that answer but would all Edmontonians feel as patriotically Edmontonian as we do once learning all this history about our beloved city? I'd like to say yes, but it does make me wonder. Considering our "City of Champions" motto scarcely seems fit to describe our city at times (c.f. last post), maybe rather than infrastructure Edmonton should work on finding a way to unite the people's love for the city again. Just a thought.
