Global National: July 17, 2024 | Torrential downpour exposes Toronto’s ageing infrastructure
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- It is back to business in Toronto after a record-breaking storm yesterday that dumped so much rain that parts of the city came to a standstill. That water has receded, and traffic is flowing again on major highways. Power has mostly been restored to thousands of customers. Some roads are still closed though and many home owners are mopping up and assessing the damage. The torrential downpour is wakeup call about the weaknesses of Toronto’s aging infrastructure. Eric Sorensen has more on whether the city can handle another onslaught.
To Milwaukee now, where the newly chosen vice-presidential nominee for the Republicans, J.D. Vance, will take to the stage in a primetime speech. It’s clear the delegates to the Republican convention are firmly behind former president Trump, but can they win over the country? A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Trump has a marginal lead over Biden with registered voters in the U.S. suggesting the assassination attempt on the former president’s life has not sparked a major shift in sentiment. And 80 per cent of those responding agreed the “country is spiraling out of control.” Jackson Proskow has more.
After a surprise move by the U.S. to tighten the rules over bringing dogs into the country, some of the new measures have already been relaxed, but Canada’s health minister believes Canada should be exempt entirely. He calls the rules intended to control the spread of rabies unnecessary and poorly though out. Neetu Garcha explains what it all means for your pet.
The private business dealings of a federal cabinet minister were the focus of a parliamentary probe today. A Global News investigation raised questions about whether Liberal MP Randy Boissonault kept actively engaged in a business he use to help run after he got elected. That would violate federal ethics rules. His former business partner answered questions today about multiple text messages discussing a business deal with someone named “Randy.” His defence - it was just a problem with auto-correct. Krista Hessey reports.
The size of the civil service has exploded during the Trudeau Liberals’ nine years in power: growing more than 43 per cent, even though the country’s population has grown by less than 15 per cent in the same period. As of March 31, the federal government’s payroll included 367,772 persons, according to data just published by the federal Treasury Board. The civil service grew by more than six per cent in both 2021 and 2023. By comparison, the size of the civil service shrank in each of the last five years the Harper Conservatives were in power. David Akin has more.
Paris built the first-ever Olympic village when it hosted the games for a second time in 1924. That was a primitive design, but today athletes will arrive to a huge operation featuring some of the latest innovations to help them reach peak performance. Redmond Shannon takes a look.

They’re just making sure that former CTV journalists have $9,000,000 condos in New York! Priorities people!
Is the Toronto Mayer going to tax all that water?
Where are all the taxes going???? Isn't there a good lawyer in this country to take this up at the courts and AG level?
Just recently read that they’re budgeting $9,000,000 alone on a condo in New York somewhere JUST to house a former CTV journalist. Not even kidding.
$15k a month in fees apparently.
Trudeau is fighting climate change, I mean global warming, I mean the hole in the ozone, I mean pollution such as "Acid rain" with them...
How about an honest audit of how much money they actually collect from taxes from all sources
You haven't heard? They want to make a rainfall tax to pay for it.
Not a joke
Flooding in Toronto always occurs during super heavy rainfall. This isn't new, thus why the Government hasn't fix the water drainage issue is unknown.
Same with Calgary - gotta love how poor planning and money distribution is climate changes fault
$1.4B, ten years later & still no diversion project finished.
Politicians love to make excuses for their incompetence
Why do you people keep voting for the incompetent ones?
And they just raise taxes thinking it will solve everything.
@@zxrcanada they could try not raising taxes at all and see if there is any money left to pay for infrastructure improvements. How about that?
I thought that the carbon tax was supposed to fix these problems
- With All The NEW GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES; WHY DO WE STILL HAVE LONG WAIT TIMES WHEN CALLING A GOVERNMENT OFFICE ????? More People Hired To Watch The Phone Ring, & Do Nothing. Delays In ALL DEPARTMENTS.
Kiev in threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee days 😂😂😂
Its not climate change its overdevelopment. Rain needs grass - acts like a sponge. Duh.
This 100%
Scary to see how dangerous Toronto can be with the aging infrastructure that is having difficulty keeping up with demand
Ageing takes an E, love from Montreal! I'd be up for correcting your French too, thanks and no tanks!😊
Question: Torontonians, what is worst in life? Answer: To have to live through a huge cloud-burst, to get excessive flooding because of neglected city infrastructure by politicians, and to hear the lamentations of politicians blaming Climate Change! Affirmation: Well, it's just too damn bad that you keep voting in the same no-good politicians!
Toronto is WAY behind other large cities in countries that invested in their infrastructure in a timely way ! WAY BEHIND!
While other major cities say we’re way ahead.
Why wasnt the DVP closed in advance? Who made the decision to leave it open?
It is always the DVP that has a problem as far as I remember. This area doesn't seem to have a good drainage system.
yup. I thought last year they supposedly fixed this flooding issue. I guess not!
It did then they put a highway thru it!
Taxes $$ pays politicians to talk and not much else.
@@Chaoswolve66 don’t forget fly in their private jets
We've known this for decades. Stop listening to corrupt politicians and start listening to citizens
Exactly! I remember over 5 flooding episodes. This flooding isn't new and will occur again.
You increased the tax rates and cannot control and fix the flooding?
Don’t worry at all!! They’re spending $9,000,000 on a condo in NY for a former CTV journalist to have a good sleepy-by in for $15k a month! Lord knows we wouldn’t have survived without it😞
So sad. Toronto still uses a water treatment plant from 1953
its the wastewater you should be looking at
Yikes
You want Toronto to have upgraded public infrastructure? Who is going to pay for that? The taxpayer. They don't want to pay for that. They would rather live in a class stratified society of rich owners and everybody else living poor or paycheck to paycheck. Desperate people are better for capitalists to exploit, don't you know? Poor infrastructure helps big business, they can absorb those problems, and small businesses will fail giving big business more opportunity to gain more market share. That's the beauty of capitalism.
Text messages with the name "Randy" were related to autocorrect? How stupid do you think we are !? Time for Mr. Boissonnault to step away from my home riding Edmonton Center and have a by-election to replace him.
Looks like Ukraine needs more money
Zelenskyy needs more money.
@@althunder4269 off shore it goes.
You read my mind!
Love how Justin Truedork jumps on the Toronto Flood for a photo opportunity
Good luck getting anything from an insurance company
100 year storms ...meteoric services were established in Canada 150 years ago.....and one would think not quite as accurate back then lol
Not to mention we’ve had flash floods before 😅 … like in 2013
Fantasy land, they say that all over to the gullible, can't believe those willing who say it or believe it! All they do is stall!
@@joseenoel8093 Memory-holed, gaslit, and propagandized.
Just the way the establishment likes them.
BC needs rain desperately
Why are people blaming this week’s flooding along the lower DVP on climate change? When my family came to Canada in the 70’s there were occasions when the Don River overflowed its banks and caused chaos. The was 50 years ago. Back then they were talking of rebuilding the Don estuary. If it was done - it was not done right.
@@fergus166 side note: globally it was warmer in the 1930’s than it is today 🤔
It's not climate change its called neglect 👍
What!? But the new lady mayor that I'm sure is not in the pocket of Trudeau said it's Climate change without even any looking into the situation. What else could it be? Surely not neglect or incompetence or mismanagement/ misappropriating tax payer funds. How dare you imply our "leaders" are corrupt... lol
It is neglecting the climate change crisis brought on by ecocidal late stage capitalism. Get your facts straight, bud. Do some research outside your bubble.
Ahhh that tricky autocorrect am I right
Most likely autocorrected from randy to Randy
Isn’t this exactly what property taxes are for for the infrastructure of a city… What are they doing with all that money?
Watch prices rise from this flood. Just after calgary said there's a surplus, the next day we had a flash flood, and the city has been treding water since.
Same news about aging infrustructure happened 10 years ago and nothing changed. What a joke.
May Love Peace Prevail In The World....
When they say "Peace! Peace!" Suddenly calamity comes. Like the days of Noah--which Global News would claim was caused by "climate change" because Noah refused to pay a carbon tax.
We don’t have proper infrastructure but we have diversity and rainbows, that’s all that matters
More taxes!
Good that Toronto City Council has it's priorities in place.
Renaming public streets and squares, race hustling are the top priority of city council.
Infrastructure things, too trivial to bother with.
Insurance company rep mentioned that if you get water over your door sill and inside. the govt will send you a salvage title in the mail as a result, The inspectors were taking a flat bottom boat around and taking plate numbers
You make it, Trudeau takes it!
lol
worst case ontario, dont live in ontario lol
We cant forget about operation warp speed ... Still cant endorse that.
Climate change are you kidding me.
More like Government change required.
Oh, are you denying climate change? Yesterday's rainfall broke records, and climate change will bring more intense storms like that.
You can deny reality, but eventually it will bite you.
What
My arrogant cousin lives in Toronto what a lovely infrastructure you have 😂
I'm sure Olivia will implement a Flood Tax.
These videos of flooding on the DVP at Dundas bridge are not current, as anyone that took the DVP out of the Gardiner knows , today.
Very biased but the title is correct, not climate change, unless you are a group of scientists debating climate change dont want to hear about it. Canada imo is carbon neutral because of the boreal forests!
Good to see only one day of reporting the "fireworks" at the Trump rally and back to days of this normal distraction from incompetence.
I love you ❤️
China 🇨🇳 accounted for 2/3 of new global coal plant capacity in 2023.
- China built 70 GW of new coal-power capacity last year, almost 20 times the rest of the world's 3.7 GW combined.
Wow!!
China added a record 301 GW of renewable power generation capacity including solar, wind and hydro in 2023, accounting for around 59% of the world's total renewable capacity additions last year. Coal? While 70GW of new capacity started only 47.4 GW went online. China spent 890 billion US on renewable power in 2023.
@@AlbertMark-nb9zo Would you be innocent if you killed 2 people, then argued that you have produced 6 children?
and they don't have carbon tax
@@AhmetTekin101 - Who said people were killed? If you're making out that the gigatonnes of CO2 is wrong, then acknowledge the huge base of CO2 western countries have made to create their economies. In many respects they aren't redressing the situation. Who leads the world in putting in renewables? China. Not the US with a bigger economy. All the countries that went through industrialization before China, had a higher carbon intensity than China. The countries that will follow China in industrialization will have a lower carbon intensity. Your argument is flawed and just hyperbole.
LMAO " climate change ". 😂😂
We must adapt to weather...we have to...we just have to 😂 Everytime the weather changes we'll charge a fee.
Oh you tinfoil hat junkies amuse me.
@@thevision3502 People like you that don't think you're propagandized are anything but amusing.
But you're right, you should pay more in taxes and maybe we won't have floods any more.
@@commonsensecraziness7595 your right about one thing! It’s people like me who pay taxes so people like you have time to come up with conspiracy theories and try to convince people on the internet they are true…………
If you pay more carbon taxes this won't happen again
😂
LOL
🤣😂😊🤣😂😂🤪💩🤭
Too many people and still we're cursed (I popped out 2) for no longer being baby machine and thanks for spelling ageing properly, love from Pte-Claire, sucks to live in TO!
Big yikes. Y’all sinking, just saying.
Stop painting rainbows on the storm water drains and fix them instead.
Standard ❤😂
another win for Toronto (lie)
another historical data doesn't exist story
Why do keep scrubbing my comments?!
I was trained as a chemist, the special courses I took in 4th year were about atmospheric, oceanic and fresh water chemistry.
Do you doubt what we have explained to you?
Why would we lie?
It's not 99.7 % of us that disagree with you and your oil company lobbyists it's 99.97% of us.
You don't like what I said - come and get me.
I'm right here.
Build something.
Still don't believe in global warming ? 😂
$$$ for every woke policy. While critical infrastructure falls apart. Welcome to the liberal epicentre of Canada.
Corus Entertainment CJR-B stock down poured to $0.11....end game is near for Global TV and AM640.
Aging lol it's never rai ed like that before
Yes it has rained like that before. And every time there is flooding!
What's happening across the world is alarming! And it's not normal. But people are still not paying attentions and praying for God's mercy to falls through for mankind, because they are so preoccupied in the sphere of life. Then, they put God in their storage rooms somewhere. But there will be darker days ahead of us until we take the necessary steps to repent and turn our lives around to make it right with the most high God. 😔 ❤
WE PAYED OUR CARBON TAX HOW COULD IT FLOOD?
