This level of rain in that amount of time is so unusual and unexpected that of course nothing was built to withstand that. But it seems to be becoming more common so perhaps the time has come to change how we build things.
100% Catch basin cleaning is super expensive as it is considered hazardous waste. Well over 200$ per basin the city would pay out. The margins are tight.
Screw maintaining the catch basins. Nobody wants to pay workers to do city maintenance. They want their tax dollars to go to private company subsidies and banks so they can grow the economy and create low paying jobs. That's the glory of capitalism. Sure there are some problems with capitalism, but it is better than socialism or communism which are far worse by every statistic you could find.
It was 100% predictable that the DVP would flood given the intensity of yesterdays rain. Why wasn’t the DVP closed before the water actually rose to the level of the roadway?
How are capitalist companies going to make more money if people can't drive their fossil fuel based vehicles all around, buying stuff to make the rich people even richer? C'mon! Capitalism only works if we ignore all the facts about human well-being and planetary sustainability. Get with the capitalist program or leave. You don't want to be called a socialist or communist, do you?
Same problem in Montréal with their mayor, Valérie Plante, she is more concerned about bike paths being built and taking away all the parking in the city..they got flooded too last week.
You really notice how bad Toronto's downtown greenspace is when you go to Vancouver and Montreal, and see beautiful parks and frequent parkettes everywhere downtown. Then you go to Toronto, and have to walk a half hour to find a public patch of grass.
We shouldn’t blame the contractors that did the renovation on Union Station. It’s climate change. Lmao. Toronto had a storm that bad 15 years ago. It’s climate change. Delulu
So we have forgotten lessons taught to us by Hazel. Hurricane Hazel that is, 1954. This road design is terrible to begin with, with inadequate catchbasin upkeep, obviously.
Oh no, she colluded with Ford to get people back into buildings that were happy working from home to drum up support for local business. Clearly the infrastructure is not ready for this. But, above all, care for the planet and reduce your carbon footprint. What a contradictory load of garbage.
Well when you pave over 80% of the natural vegetation and flora in the area that would typically absorb that water...you can't really be surprised with such incredibly flooding.
It's hurricane levels of water so it was going to be a big deal regardless. But for sure better design would help. And allowing space for river water levels to rise, etc.
Nice report. Most of the locations shown were very foreseeable flood locations. One would expect the appropriate police and fire departments to have dispatched resources to those spots well before cars were flooded. And the affected drivers were a bit ridiculous in expecting to drive through water that deep.
Unbelievable irresponsibility of people who built such a poor architecture design that imposes a life threatening risk for all people using subway. All millions of $$$ flashed down the subway toilet and of course nobody will be held accountable.
They didn't know the climate would get more extreme when they built it. And since then, about 30% refuse to believe reality, making it harder to make progress on the issue.

Lack of storm drains are the result of that. The City of Toronto has been lacking in many departments and that is just one of them. It's not the first time that area has flooded and will not be the last until storm drains are put in. Common sense says that low lying terrain will flood out in heavy rains and this is just proof of it happening.
The drains work fine in a normal rainfall. They can't keep up with torrential rainfall. But often, many of them are blocked by vegetation and garbage people don't deal with properly. You can trust that the city engineers are very aware of the issues.
There has been way more rain than this in past years but something like this didn't happen. So, the question is, why there has been water clogging? What's new this time? It raises concerns about any recent possible mods in the drainage system or if they wanted the water to clog!
Do you have a reference for the idea that there was more rain in past years? This was more than a typical month's worth of rain in 2-3 hours so it was pretty unusual.

You’re responsible for your own kids unless they’re at a place that specifically puts them under government care like school. If you don’t have the common sense to, idk, make sure you kid doesn’t play in a creek after a storm, then that’s on you.
The kids are enrolled in a sailing boat club, who allow the children back on the waters, after the rain stopped and sun is out. But the upstream waters, then came downstream.
With most of the city sealed from rain runoff by concrete or whatever, this will happen again and again. There’s very little unpaved surface in the downtown core, nor the rest of the GTA, no place for excessive rain to go. It just accumulates, causing floods. It was happening when I lived there over 20 years ago, and I’m sure things haven’t improved. I live semi-rurally now and there hasn’t been a major flood beyond the river’s flood plain. I prefer that over Toronto’s damp history. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
Just because its concrete does not mean the water has nowhere to go. It's not designed so that the water can sit on the concrete, it has to go somewhere. And it does, just not as fast due to the volume of water. There are always blocked drains and an increase in extreme weather that wasn't predicted when the infrastructure was built. As long as we elect people who refuse to accept reality, it will only get worse.
@@mikeb5664 It’s difficult to find much green space in Toronto. I imagine it’s gotten worse over the years. The Don Valley Parkway is notorious for flooding, as are many of the older areas of the city, particularly in the east end. The streets going under the train tracks are easily flooded. The Dufferin bus gets mired there frequently. Can’t imagine the city getting more green space in the areas that flooded yesterday. I see what you’re getting at, but a deluge can’t disappear fast enough. There just aren’t enough drains, unplugged or blocked, to handle the 100+ mm of rain in an hour. The city needs to work on that, as there’s been little improvement according to family and friends who still live, work and drive there. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

Good old Agenda 21 they want people to believe it did not rain in the long ago before the climate change came now it rains and there are fires and tornados.

@@vixelscoffeehouse There was not any day in Toronto this year at 40C degrees. You have to go back to 2006 where 37C was the hottest its been in the last 20 years.

Wow I still have power, and I'm in Toronto I just got here today that's why there was so much traffic when I was driving there I don't see the rain but I saw the damage. I saw a manhole cover smoking in down town Toronto out the window of my hotel I just the rain is how that happened. Even though I don't live here I hope the flooding stops soon. ❤️
It's about a month's worth of rain in two or three hours. Similar to the amount of rain in a hurricane. If you don't get concerned at all then you're kind of lacking in survival instinct.
The guy on the roof of his BMW - Bro it's knee deep water, get out and walk. Actually it pleases me that there are such deeply unfit and inadequate humans, because in the case of any serious outage or the end of days, I'll have a MUCH higher chance to survive.

yeah, ive been in TO for the 2013 july, it was super dark rain cloud that hasnt moved at all, like dark night in daytime. and then pour as if someone opened up a faucet. images of go train stuck in the water were really new to me then... maybe i missed the others before
It was 126 mm of rain in 90 minutes. It last happened 11 years ago. It happens.
WHERE???? I live here in Toronto
A bunch of places. DVP in this video I believe.
Wow I still have power, and I'm in Toronto I just got here today that's why there was so much traffic when I was driving there I don't see the rain but I saw the damage. I saw a manhole cover smoking in down town Toronto out the window of my hotel I just the rain is how that happened. Even though I don't live here I hope the flooding stops soon. ❤️
Chow said nothing of value as usual. Don’t expect anything less than this as the city falls apart in the coming years.
Wait.. do you mean to tell me that carbon tax didn't help?
So, car theft in the GTA is down 100%, however, boat theft is up 100%
It's funny how people panic when nature is doing what it's supposed to do.😂😅
It's about a month's worth of rain in two or three hours. Similar to the amount of rain in a hurricane. If you don't get concerned at all then you're kind of lacking in survival instinct.
The guy on the roof of his BMW - Bro it's knee deep water, get out and walk.
Actually it pleases me that there are such deeply unfit and inadequate humans, because in the case of any serious outage or the end of days, I'll have a MUCH higher chance to survive.
@@the_kombinatorhow do other peoples survival chances impact yours? This just sounds like you're wishing harm on people.
@@PattyManatty Of course - more left over resources. Have you not seen any post-apocalyptic movie, ever? Looks like you'll be a statistic as well :P
@@the_kombinatorYou understand that's a movie... Aka fiction, for entertainment...
That’s a lie. It’s a severe lack of investment in infrastructure that could have averted this. Weak politicians cause hard times!!
It's a storm that happens every 10 years. 5" of rain in 90 minutes, and folks lose their minds. SMH.
Bit of both. We wouldn't need the increased infrastructure if we still had normal weather, but we don't, so we do.
That’s because Toronto doesn’t pay enough carbon tax
What sucks is most people do not have natural disaster on the insurance.
So a lot of People may not get Covered for damages
They should send the extra water to Calgary. I hear they have the opposite problem.
tattoos?
im glad all that carbon tax we paid for is reversing “climate change”.
Even such a tiny step and people go insane complaining. So yeah, we're pretty doomed. People get that hysterical about something so small the chances we will actually do anything substantial in time are pretty slim.
…and this is why tons of people aren’t getting their FedEx packages
Did someone just pull Chow out of bed?
Does anybody really want to be Mayor of Canada's biggest city? It is a stressful, thankless job. People who complain but offer no solutions themselves are taking the easiest possible route. Takes no effort to complain. It takes a lot more knowledge and compassion to understand, deeply, based on research.
@@coolioso808 She doesn’t have what it takes to do the job. She’s an activist not a politician.
@@jkgcank9 And what are you? Takes no effort or skill to pass judgment and complain. Do you have any better ideas than what she is doing? And I don't like politicians as a job, period. It is a system failure that politicians even exist still. How would she be better if she was a politician instead of an activist?
@@coolioso808 quit.
@@jkgcank9 you're proving my point. I know CT isn't for everybody, but you could do better. Unfortunately, nobody can help you until you've accepted that you need help. Good luck to you.
Read about CLOUD SEEDING and what happened in Dubai... wakeup people
possible yes. Very Expensive and theres no reason to do it here unlike dubai
Its almost as if paying a carbon tax DOESN'T have an impact on the climate or extreme localized weather patterns.
And I bet you also think PP will 'axe the tax', right? LMAO.
@@mikeb5664 I guess we'll find out when he's Prime Minister 😉🍻
@@codysaunders7348 Just add carbon tariffs to 32 billion in trade with the European Union, after Liberals increased trade by 46% for starters.
I'm betting PP hasn't told you how carbon tariffs work. But why would he?
@@mikeb5664 where are you getting your stats from? Lmao, the liberal party? We have a triple A credit rating after all! - said the dumpster fire
@@mikeb5664 and you can cope however you like bud, but Pierre is going to be the next PM. Cry, whine, or scream about it all you like
Olivia chow such a joke, thanks for your comment Chow.
It’s the climate 😱 !!!!!
We need to raise taxes to save the planet ASAP !!!!!!
There was always a cost. In Florida it is more of a house insurance thing. Denying its existence is still going to cost.
Call GRETA‼️🤪
🤣🤯
@@apextroll Insurance company's would never insure any beachfront property if sea levels were going to rise.. so yes this debunks "Climate Change" Narrative. Should we go down all the list where all Alarmist predictions that never came?
@@frosty848 And why are sea levels rising?
Shame on all the people with large driveways...this could have been avoided.
Is Olivia smoking pot?
What if she is? It is legal isn't it?
Who isn't?
Think of the benefits of all that rain!
The comments on this channel are disturbing. I did not quite realise how common and blatant many people's attitudes were.
Useless government.
Guess what you think a 30% tax hike on insurance was a slap... look out downtown toronto insurance is going up again 🎉
All the billions of stolen carbon tax money and it’s still flooding lmao
Stolen?...
You know the carbon tax is revenue neutral. The government brings in no money from it, so it doesn't pay for anything
Even calling it a tax is a misnomer. It's an incentive program to consume less carbon.
I bet you'll lose your mind when PP won't 'axe the tax'.
It wasn't stolen , Doug Ford gave our $400-million carbon fund and every single carbon tax contribution from that day forward to the Fed's instead of keeping that money in province.
So is this Catastrophe is setting up a Fee on the PHE of Catastrofree, NO , NOT Free, there is a FEE. for That .
Live in your assigned 15 minute Prison City and Pay for it!!
Amazing to think that it was designed this way.
That geoengineering is doing it
