Instead of spending $12.7 million on re-naming Dundas Street use that money to maintain storm sewer lines. When was the last time the catch basins were cleaned?
You have bigger problems with rodents just because you didnt get rain your not out of the woods because your drainage is the same as other area. But you want more bike lanes thats where the money is going.
@@johnalbanese868 1. **Rodent Problems**: - While rodent issues can be a concern in urban areas, they are not directly related to the recent flooding events. The flooding in Toronto has been caused by severe weather conditions, including heavy rainfall and storms¹². 2. **Rainfall and Flooding**: - The Beaches area, like other parts of Toronto, is susceptible to flooding due to its drainage system. However, the recent flooding has affected multiple areas across the Greater Toronto Area, not just The Beaches³⁴. The drainage systems in different areas may vary, but the city's infrastructure is being continuously improved to handle such events¹⁵¹⁷. 3. **Bike Lanes and Budget**: - The budget for bike lanes in Toronto is part of a broader initiative to improve transportation infrastructure, promote environmental sustainability, and enhance public safety⁷⁸.

Keep voting for woke mayors and city councilors who want to rename streets instead of spending money on infrastructure Toronto and this will keep happening
Don't get me going on City Councilors who have not even been elected! It is a plague of ignorant decisions in Victoria, BC. The last mayor was horrible, and now this current one tops her. Ugh!
Cement and asphalt funnelling water toward Lake Ontario , where are the GREEN SPACES to absorb the water , sorry we can’t fix STUPIDITY insurance companies will pay out and premiums will get higher
Thank you for the update. I was shocked to see this happening in Mississauga which is just 20 mins away to the north where I live. I'm praying it doesn't happen here.🙏
Exactly... there's no green space left to absorb run off. Its greedy developers and politicians that are the biggest threat to the environment...not climate change
Maybe Toronto shouldn’t have spent 12 million dollars on an unnecessary name change for a street. This is absolutely not caused from climate change, it’s caused by horrible financial mismanagement and ignoring the city’s infrastructure.
### 1. **Claim: "Maybe Toronto shouldn’t have spent 12 million dollars on an unnecessary name change for a street."** **Rebuttal:** - **False Equivalence**: The comparison between spending on a street name change and addressing infrastructure needs is a false equivalence. These are separate budgetary allocations. Municipal budgets often earmark funds for specific projects, and reallocating funds from a cultural or political initiative like a name change to infrastructure improvements isn't straightforward or necessarily effective¹. - **Misleading Cost Allocation**: Infrastructure projects typically require significantly larger investments than $12 million. Addressing flooding issues, for example, would necessitate spending in the hundreds of millions or even billions, far beyond the funds allocated for a name change². - **Historical and Cultural Context**: Street name changes often address historical injustices or cultural shifts. It reflects a community’s values and identity, which is also important for the social infrastructure of a city¹. ### 2. **Claim: "This is absolutely not caused from climate change."** **Rebuttal:** - **Scientific Consensus**: The overwhelming consensus among climate scientists is that climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, including heavy rainfall and flooding. This is well-documented by organizations like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and national meteorological agencies⁶⁷. - **Observed Data**: Over the past few decades, Toronto and Mississauga have seen a rise in extreme weather patterns, including more intense and frequent rainstorms. This correlates directly with global climate change trends²⁵²⁶. - **Ignoring Evidence**: Denying the role of climate change in such events ignores a vast body of scientific evidence and the experiences of cities worldwide that are grappling with similar issues⁶⁷. ### 3. **Claim: "It’s caused by horrible financial mismanagement and ignoring the city’s infrastructure."** **Rebuttal:** - **Complex Causes**: While infrastructure shortcomings may exacerbate flooding, it’s overly simplistic to blame financial mismanagement alone. Modern urban infrastructure was often not designed to handle the increasingly extreme weather patterns brought on by climate change¹⁴. - **Historical Underinvestment**: Many North American cities, including Toronto, have experienced decades of underinvestment in infrastructure. This is a systemic issue that spans multiple administrations and political contexts, not simply a matter of recent financial mismanagement¹⁴²³. - **Current Efforts**: Toronto has been investing in infrastructure improvements, including stormwater management projects. However, these efforts take time and are often playing catch-up against rapidly changing climate conditions²¹²². ### Conclusion: The flooding in Toronto and Mississauga is a multifaceted issue, with climate change playing a significant role. While infrastructure improvements are necessary, blaming a street name change or simple financial mismanagement oversimplifies the problem and ignores the broader, scientifically-backed context of global climate change. ¹: [Renaming Toronto's Dundas Street](www.cbc DOTca/news/canada/toronto/ont-dundas-rename-1.6936800) ²: [Cost to rename Dundas Street](www.blogto DOTcom/city/2023/12/cost-rename-dundas-street-doubled-13-million/) ⁶: [The Influence of Climate Change on Extreme Environmental Events](www.nationalgeographic DOTorg/article/influence-climate-change-extreme-environmental-events/) ⁷: [Extreme Weather and Climate Change - Science@NASA](science.nasa DOTgov/climate-change/extreme-weather/) ¹⁴: [Toronto flooding spurs calls for infrastructure overhaul](beachmetro DOTcom/2024/07/24/toronto-flooding-spurs-calls-for-infrastructure-overhaul-and-improved-emergency-response/) ²¹: [Building More Resilient Communities in Toronto](www DOTcanada DOTca/en/office-infrastructure/news/2023/11/building-more-resilient-communities-in-toronto.html) ²²: [Toronto City Council unanimously adopts report](www.toronto DOTca/news/toronto-city-council-unanimously-adopts-report-detailing-26-billion-infrastructure-funding-gap-highlighting-ongoing-need-for-prioritization-and-partnerships/) ²³: [Ontario Investing in Critical Infrastructure](news.ontario DOTca/en/bulletin/1002763/ontario-investing-in-critical-infrastructure) ²⁵: [Climate change - City of Mississauga](www.mississauga DOTca/services-and-programs/forestry-and-environment/climate-change/) ²⁶: [Toronto's Climate Change Readiness](www.toronto DOTca/legdocs/mmis/2024/ie/bgrd/backgroundfile-244181.pdf)
it's absolutely caused by climate change and the resulting severe weather, combined with aging infastructure. The video also mentioned several tornados occuring the same day in the region, that is not normal. Also this isn't Toronto, the province needs to be investing more in upgrading existing highway infastructure, and storm management/drainage systems.
Everyone saying it’s extreme weather, urban sprawl or climate change obviously don’t remember the same thing happened 10 years ago then again 10 years before that. This is mismanagement of infrastructure and lack of upgrades with the increasing population. Rather spend 12mil on renaming streets and parks. I have zero pity for Torontonians, you get exactly what you voted for.
To make matters worse, a lot of people in the area are forced to rent basement apartments because of a shortage of housing caused by mass immigration, and sky high housing costs.
It looks to me like someone needs to get thier property taxes back. Obviously the city is not looking after their infrastructure , maybe spend a little less money on making rainbows on the street and your mayor dancing around in her gotchies.
These people in power are demons how many tines do you guys protest and complain and how many times are they going to laugh in your face and you're going to do noting.
1. **"It looks to me like someone needs to get their property taxes back."** - **Fact Check**: Property taxes in Toronto are used to fund a wide range of essential services, including infrastructure maintenance and improvements¹⁷. The average property tax for homeowners in Toronto is between $6,870 and $7,971¹⁹. These funds are crucial for the city's operations and services. 2. **"Obviously the city is not looking after their infrastructure."** - **Fact Check**: The City of Toronto has a comprehensive budget for infrastructure projects. For instance, the 2023-2032 Capital Budget and Plan identifies $49.3 billion in public investments for infrastructure such as transit, transportation, water, and wastewater[^10^]. The recent flooding is a result of unprecedented rainfall, which overwhelmed the existing infrastructure⁴⁵. 3. **"Maybe spend a little less money on making rainbows on the street and your mayor dancing around in her gotchies."** - **Fact Check**: This statement seems to be a mix of hyperbole and misinformation. The city's budget allocations are carefully planned and approved by the city council. The 2024 budget includes significant investments in essential services and infrastructure⁸. As for the mayor, Olivia Chow, she has been actively involved in addressing city issues and has not been reported to engage in any such activities¹². In summary, while the flooding is a serious issue, it is not accurate to claim that the city is neglecting its infrastructure or misusing funds. The city is actively investing in infrastructure improvements, and the recent extreme weather events are a significant challenge for any urban area. ___________ (1) Property Tax - City of Toronto. www.toronto DOTca/services-payments/property-taxes-utilities/property-tax/.

@@lc8850 people that believe in climate change make me sick at one time the whole earth was apparently covered in ice so the ice caps have been melting for millions of years, but now it’s a problem because I drive my car to work
My apartment in Mississauga got flooded a few years ago. I spent a month living in a motel, management raided everyone's apartments and "disposed" of the food in the fridges (to prevent damage to their appliances) a couple of days after we got booted out. $375 worth of steak and lobster gone, never got a nickle for it, nor were we notified to come and get it first. My neighbour was running a gennie to keep his mom's drugs refrigerated, they killed the power and about $5000 in drugs was destroyed. Never got a nickle in compensation for the motel bill either, even though this had happened once before and the management had not taken steps to prevent a recurrence. I expected with yesterdays rain to be told to get out again, and I've already told them I'd be suing for damages. They think I'm joking. I'm sure their insurance will be happy to know that they could have prevented any flooding by simply building up the berm along one side of the property.
You have my sympathy. It is not easy. We have created our cities and towns for a certain type of climate and certain tax budgets. Clearly, the effects of climate change are now reaching Canada. We have huge forests that burned last year. We are having flooding in cities such as Toronto and Montreal. As long as municipalities stay with the property tax model, we will never have enough in our budgets to deal with the changes happening. As for insurance companies, well, they are swamped, literally. Personally, I have no solutions to offer. One thing that I can say is that we, here in Canada, had better start preparing for what is coming. Electric cars are not going to save us. We are probably at a point where we are hopelessly behind in our budgets versus the problems that are happening. We have built a society that we cannot afford anymore, especially with our small population. Finally, I do not see any sign that the various governments here understand the scope of the problem and I do not see any sign of long-term planning to manage all this. Here we think election to election or quarter to quarter in business. It is all too myopic. Hope things get better for you.
Where exactly do you expect the water to go? Most, if not all drainage systems are designed to remove 8 inches of rain in a 24 hour period……a 24 hour period. They can simply become overwhelmed with water exceeding the storm drain capacity during extremely heavy rainfall events.
I also live in Toronto and I didn't see any flooding at all. Whoever took this video please let me know which Toronto get this much flooding , which area. Don't let me think that it's a fake news.
Today , God's warning is about THE GOOD NEWS of HIS KINGDOM , that is now being announced worldwide , wich Jesus foretold would be PREACHED in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all nations before the end comes ( Matthew 24v 14 ) .
Money was spent on renaming streets, giving city council members raises and foreign investment. Could have been used to clean the storm drains and fortify the infrastructure.
1. **Storm Sewer Basins Not Cleaned**: - The storm sewer systems in both Toronto and Mississauga are regularly maintained. The City of Mississauga, for example, has a comprehensive stormwater management system that includes over 1,900 km of storm sewer pipes¹². Regular maintenance and cleaning are essential to prevent flooding and ensure the system functions properly[^10^]¹¹. 2. **Funds Allocated to Rainbow Crosswalks**: - The budget for rainbow crosswalks is separate from the stormwater management budget. For instance, the cost of a rainbow crosswalk in Brampton was estimated at $32,000, with partial funding from the Region¹⁴. This is a relatively small amount compared to the overall budget for stormwater infrastructure, which is valued at $5.2 billion in Mississauga alone¹². 3. **Budget Constraints**: - While budgets are always a concern, the allocation for stormwater management and infrastructure maintenance is prioritized to ensure public safety. The claim that funds were diverted from essential services like storm sewer maintenance to rainbow crosswalks is not supported by the available information¹²¹⁴. In summary, the claim that storm sewer basins were neglected due to funds being diverted to rainbow crosswalks is not accurate. Both Toronto and Mississauga have dedicated budgets and regular maintenance schedules for their stormwater systems to prevent flooding and ensure public safety.

I drove by Grimsby, Ontario yesterday on my way back to Toronto from Niagara on the Lake. Very sparsely populated area like this where nature still dominates the landscape. No flooding of any kind in sight except on the QEW where of course roads are required for shuttling people from A to B. It's just an unfortunate circumstance of progress, if you want to call it that. While those people living in the multimillion dollar homes in Grimsby are glad they don't h ave to deal with floods, they are also benefiting off of the misery and suffering of those of us who can't afford to live in those retreats. It is amazing how beautiful the country side is, but they're dotted with farm land and that's what they do to survive. These people work hard for their success. Anyway, compared to Toronto or the concrete madness it seems like the idealyc life being away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Virtually everyone has 2-3 cars per home in their double garages. Looking at the median income of Grimsbly it's close to a million dollars annum. That's typically $400k per partner. The median household income of Toronto or similar city is probably $50k with both spouses working at Tim Hortons or Walmart.
Stop building on flood plains, start spending tax dollars on repairs, maintenance and proper infrastructure and stop spending tax dollars on woke jokes.
I live about 45 minutes west of Toronto and the same storm system which hit Toronto also hit us. Yet we’re not flooded. This is clearly a result of greed and stupidity in the real estate system where your building on every available scrap of land even if it happens to be a natural water drainage path. Overbuilding carelessly without thought of rain flow.
Ones you go Woke you go Broke. I live in Toronto for over 20+ years before i move out far away north of Ontario. Good thing I did, if people don't wake up and get their shit together more and more of this you will see.
That plaza, with the Vibrin Drug Mart, is across the street from my condo. I was in there earlier, around the time the rain started. However, I really got soaked elsewhere and the grocery store, where I later bought my groceries, had a flooded parking lot and several leaks in the roof.
Perfectly normal for the GTA, happens once or twice every 200,000 years. As a typical Toronto Bylaw to make it convenient for none licensed/paying road users, next week will see the implementation of Boat lanes. This will leave enough room for one way vehicle traffic only at a width of no more than 1.59 meters. Bike and boat lanes will be approximately 3m each on both sides of the street. As a side note, stop signs will be replaced with lighthouses and renamed once every 6 months to coincide with a foreign dignitary who has dictatorial relations in oppressive countries.
Official let this happen just like let wild fire burn through our national park in AB. So, they can use these as an excuses continuing collect rain tax and carbon tax from us!
It is not Toronto. Mississauga was a huge landfill when I came to Canada 35 years ago. It still has Ecosystem of the landfill though houses are over 3 to 5 million dollars in Mississauga.
Mississauga was a huge land fill? I've been living here all my life, over 65 years. There were only three that I ever heard of. One was around by Erinmills parkway and the QEW, it was closed back in the mid 70s or so. There was also one up near Streetsville, also long since closed. The only one that is still open isn't even in Mississauga, it's up in Brampton.
Mississauga is a collection of smaller towns mashed together into a city. That's why it doesn't really have a real downtown core to it. Unless, you want to consider Square One and a bunch of condos to be a downtown. That's what happens when small communities get flooded with immigration. Ironically, the city of Mississauga did not want to share a similar fate and become part of Toronto.
I’ve lived in Mississauga all my life what you are saying is incorrect. Yes we had landfills but one was turned into a Golf course I believe but both have been long closed. Now we have a distribution centre in Meadowvale.
@@Deira854 It only fell in certain limited areas. I'm at 10 and the QEW, rained hard, but not nearly that much. All the infrastructure is designed to handle an average amount. Too much and you get local flooding. My building was flooded a few years back, had to camp in a motel for a month before they decided the building wasn't going to fall over. We have a creek along the back, with a 6-8 foot embankment. That was over topped and flooded the basement.
Instead of wasting money on the "cosmetic stuff", it is high time now to spend serious money on revamping or overhauling the sewage infrastructure, otherwise, people must not re-elect these people or parties in the next elections, basically, it is our fault, trying the "failed ones" again & again will only lead to disasters like this, this weather is changing for sure globally, but the people in charge are not willing to act and respond to that change. It seems Canada is facing a serious leadership crisis at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels. Concrete steps are required on a war footing, no time for BS anymore.
So this is the fourth flood in Canada this year that I’ve heard of. All I can think is maybe it’s time to remember that central Canada was underwater 12000 years ago.
Instead of spending $12.7 million on re-naming Dundas Street use that money to maintain storm sewer lines. When was the last time the catch basins were cleaned?
Literally this.
That's too simple for them
This is Mississauga it is not Toronto ,.Different city , different city mayor. Toronto city is fine, just moderate rain no flooding.
I’ll never understand how it costs that much to change a sign 😂
Bingo!
It’s not extreme weather causing the flood. Instead it is too many urbanization, the used to be soil area has been replaced by concrete.
And they're doing more of it and more of it every day.
Come to concrete city Brampton
That's what an efficient sewerage system is useful for
It is definitely extreme weather causing the flood. What is wrong with you?
Not enough trees to absorb water
And infrastructure is old and needs to be replaced
New real estate listing. "This spacious home comes complete with a natural pool in the garage"
And running water.
And Niagara Falls very close
Only for 3 million get your offers in right away🤠
I live in Toronto. Near the beach/downtown: we didn’t even get a single drop of rain
The Beach is next !
yes, so weird,, 2 drops ,, and now I see this ,can't believe it ...👀👀
We got random short but heavy rainfalls. This isn't that.
You have bigger problems with rodents just because you didnt get rain your not out of the woods because your drainage is the same as other area. But you want more bike lanes thats where the money is going.
@@johnalbanese868 1. **Rodent Problems**:
- While rodent issues can be a concern in urban areas, they are not directly related to the recent flooding events. The flooding in Toronto has been caused by severe weather conditions, including heavy rainfall and storms¹².
2. **Rainfall and Flooding**:
- The Beaches area, like other parts of Toronto, is susceptible to flooding due to its drainage system. However, the recent flooding has affected multiple areas across the Greater Toronto Area, not just The Beaches³⁴. The drainage systems in different areas may vary, but the city's infrastructure is being continuously improved to handle such events¹⁵¹⁷.
3. **Bike Lanes and Budget**:
- The budget for bike lanes in Toronto is part of a broader initiative to improve transportation infrastructure, promote environmental sustainability, and enhance public safety⁷⁸. The funds allocated for bike lanes are separate from those used for drainage and flood management projects. Investing in bike lanes does not detract from addressing flooding issues.
By addressing these points, we can clarify the misconceptions and provide a more accurate understanding of the situation.

This is the result of municipalities not maintaining sewage systems and storm drains.
Now people in Canada know what happens when your concrete out passes the grass lmao
@gavinchurch6109 - what does that even mean ?????
I think he means .. grass/ land absorbs water/ rain. Concrete creates a river or pool like water flow
This is what intensification looks like. Concrete can't absorb rain.
Improper sized drainage is another factor.
Keep voting for woke mayors and city councilors who want to rename streets instead of spending money on infrastructure Toronto and this will keep happening

😂😂 thanks for the laugh!
😂😂😂
How timely of her. Coincidence? I think not.
Concrete jungle, no grass.
Toronto has lots of trees and grass
must have literally never visited here. most green space and parks in any major city.
@@poutine57 It doesn't matter how many trees you have. When the whole system, i.e water drainage is dependent, on the sewer system.
Thank you for the update. I was shocked to see this happening in Mississauga which is just 20 mins away to the north where I live. I'm praying it doesn't happen here.🙏
Concrete jungle...gotta love it!!!!!! Keep putting up condos
I grew up in Brampton. "Mississauga" used to be horse farms and other productive farms.
Exactly... there's no green space left to absorb run off. Its greedy developers and politicians that are the biggest threat to the environment...not climate change
Maybe Toronto shouldn’t have spent 12 million dollars on an unnecessary name change for a street. This is absolutely not caused from climate change, it’s caused by horrible financial mismanagement and ignoring the city’s infrastructure.
@@JenniferVallee-he2ry who the F ( duck 🦆) spent 12 million dollars on ANYTHING in Toronto, prove it with legitimate invoices
### 1. **Claim: "Maybe Toronto shouldn’t have spent 12 million dollars on an unnecessary name change for a street."**
**Rebuttal:**
- **False Equivalence**: The comparison between spending on a street name change and addressing infrastructure needs is a false equivalence. These are separate budgetary allocations. Municipal budgets often earmark funds for specific projects, and reallocating funds from a cultural or political initiative like a name change to infrastructure improvements isn't straightforward or necessarily effective¹.
- **Misleading Cost Allocation**: Infrastructure projects typically require significantly larger investments than $12 million. Addressing flooding issues, for example, would necessitate spending in the hundreds of millions or even billions, far beyond the funds allocated for a name change².
- **Historical and Cultural Context**: Street name changes often address historical injustices or cultural shifts. It reflects a community’s values and identity, which is also important for the social infrastructure of a city¹.
### 2. **Claim: "This is absolutely not caused from climate change."**
**Rebuttal:**
- **Scientific Consensus**: The overwhelming consensus among climate scientists is that climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, including heavy rainfall and flooding. This is well-documented by organizations like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and national meteorological agencies⁶⁷.
- **Observed Data**: Over the past few decades, Toronto and Mississauga have seen a rise in extreme weather patterns, including more intense and frequent rainstorms. This correlates directly with global climate change trends²⁵²⁶.
- **Ignoring Evidence**: Denying the role of climate change in such events ignores a vast body of scientific evidence and the experiences of cities worldwide that are grappling with similar issues⁶⁷.
### 3. **Claim: "It’s caused by horrible financial mismanagement and ignoring the city’s infrastructure."**
**Rebuttal:**
- **Complex Causes**: While infrastructure shortcomings may exacerbate flooding, it’s overly simplistic to blame financial mismanagement alone. Modern urban infrastructure was often not designed to handle the increasingly extreme weather patterns brought on by climate change¹⁴.
- **Historical Underinvestment**: Many North American cities, including Toronto, have experienced decades of underinvestment in infrastructure. This is a systemic issue that spans multiple administrations and political contexts, not simply a matter of recent financial mismanagement¹⁴²³.
- **Current Efforts**: Toronto has been investing in infrastructure improvements, including stormwater management projects. However, these efforts take time and are often playing catch-up against rapidly changing climate conditions²¹²².
### Conclusion:
The flooding in Toronto and Mississauga is a multifaceted issue, with climate change playing a significant role. While infrastructure improvements are necessary, blaming a street name change or simple financial mismanagement oversimplifies the problem and ignores the broader, scientifically-backed context of global climate change.

it's absolutely caused by climate change and the resulting severe weather, combined with aging infastructure. The video also mentioned several tornados occuring the same day in the region, that is not normal.
Also this isn't Toronto, the province needs to be investing more in upgrading existing highway infastructure, and storm management/drainage systems.
Everyone saying it’s extreme weather, urban sprawl or climate change obviously don’t remember the same thing happened 10 years ago then again 10 years before that. This is mismanagement of infrastructure and lack of upgrades with the increasing population. Rather spend 12mil on renaming streets and parks. I have zero pity for Torontonians, you get exactly what you voted for.
To make matters worse, a lot of people in the area are forced to rent basement apartments because of a shortage of housing caused by mass immigration, and sky high housing costs.
And now they will pay more for the indoor pool
This is what happens when you cut all the trees down.
It looks to me like someone needs to get thier property taxes back. Obviously the city is not looking after their infrastructure , maybe spend a little less money on making rainbows on the street and your mayor dancing around in her gotchies.
These people in power are demons how many tines do you guys protest and complain and how many times are they going to laugh in your face and you're going to do noting.
1. **"It looks to me like someone needs to get their property taxes back."**
- **Fact Check**: Property taxes in Toronto are used to fund a wide range of essential services, including infrastructure maintenance and improvements¹⁷. The average property tax for homeowners in Toronto is between $6,870 and $7,971¹⁹. These funds are crucial for the city's operations and services.
2. **"Obviously the city is not looking after their infrastructure."**
- **Fact Check**: The City of Toronto has a comprehensive budget for infrastructure projects. For instance, the 2023-2032 Capital Budget and Plan identifies $49.3 billion in public investments for infrastructure such as transit, transportation, water, and wastewater[^10^]. The recent flooding is a result of unprecedented rainfall, which overwhelmed the existing infrastructure⁴⁵.
3. **"Maybe spend a little less money on making rainbows on the street and your mayor dancing around in her gotchies."**
- **Fact Check**: This statement seems to be a mix of hyperbole and misinformation. The city's budget allocations are carefully planned and approved by the city council. The 2024 budget includes significant investments in essential services and infrastructure⁸. As for the mayor, Olivia Chow, she has been actively involved in addressing city issues and has not been reported to engage in any such activities¹².
In summary, while the flooding is a serious issue, it is not accurate to claim that the city is neglecting its infrastructure or misusing funds. The city is actively investing in infrastructure improvements, and the recent extreme weather events are a significant challenge for any urban area.

Wow hope everyone are doing okay life is still on my prayer goes out to all who affected 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️
Those 15 minute cities will fix it~
Overdevelopment with inadequate storm sewers. City more concerned with rainbow crosswalks than building and maintaining proper infrastructure.
Exactly!
Trudeau agenda destroying cities. Can’t remember the last time I saw drains being cleaned. Used to be a regular occurrence under Stephen Harper.
I remember as a kid living in Scarborough in the 1960s outswim in the street in front of the house a couple of times because it was flooded
In another words, climate change is always here with us.
@@lc8850 people that believe in climate change make me sick at one time the whole earth was apparently covered in ice so the ice caps have been melting for millions of years, but now it’s a problem because I drive my car to work
Excessive urban development with disregard of rain falls and water flow creates this, thank you former mayor Hazel.
My apartment in Mississauga got flooded a few years ago. I spent a month living in a motel, management raided everyone's apartments and "disposed" of the food in the fridges (to prevent damage to their appliances) a couple of days after we got booted out. $375 worth of steak and lobster gone, never got a nickle for it, nor were we notified to come and get it first. My neighbour was running a gennie to keep his mom's drugs refrigerated, they killed the power and about $5000 in drugs was destroyed. Never got a nickle in compensation for the motel bill either, even though this had happened once before and the management had not taken steps to prevent a recurrence. I expected with yesterdays rain to be told to get out again, and I've already told them I'd be suing for damages. They think I'm joking. I'm sure their insurance will be happy to know that they could have prevented any flooding by simply building up the berm along one side of the property.
You have my sympathy. It is not easy. We have created our cities and towns for a certain type of climate and certain tax budgets. Clearly, the effects of climate change are now reaching Canada. We have huge forests that burned last year. We are having flooding in cities such as Toronto and Montreal. As long as municipalities stay with the property tax model, we will never have enough in our budgets to deal with the changes happening.
As for insurance companies, well, they are swamped, literally.
Personally, I have no solutions to offer. One thing that I can say is that we, here in Canada, had better start preparing for what is coming. Electric cars are not going to save us. We are probably at a point where we are hopelessly behind in our budgets versus the problems that are happening. We have built a society that we cannot afford anymore, especially with our small population.
Finally, I do not see any sign that the various governments here understand the scope of the problem and I do not see any sign of long-term planning to manage all this. Here we think election to election or quarter to quarter in business. It is all too myopic.
Hope things get better for you.
Hello, I can understand you.
may I know where your apartment is in Mississauga?
@@taranoish4262 North Service Rd, just East of the Pakistani cultural center. Creek between us over flowed, and filled the whole basement.
@@dracorpgroupthese areas have always flooded, well before anyone was even here.
they're not properly maintaining their sewer systems they're full of debris I'm downtown we didn't have any rain
Not in toronto
They're not paying enough carbon taxes! That should fix everything.
Really people have just lost everything , and you make jokes , next time maybe it will be in your backyard
@@Bryan-dn1nx Doubtful. I put a lot of planning in before building our house, including putting it on high ground.
😂
Won't be my backyard I live in the desert.
Inadequately engineered drainage systems
Where exactly do you expect the water to go? Most, if not all drainage systems are designed to remove 8 inches of rain in a 24 hour period……a 24 hour period. They can simply become overwhelmed with water exceeding the storm drain capacity during extremely heavy rainfall events.
What makes me laugh, no matter how bad things are, people still have to go shopping, as if Costco is going to float away.
Do you actually think this is NATURE????
Think twice...and look at the skies before every rain fall!!!
✈️☁️☁️✈️☁️☁️☁️✈️☁️☁️☁️✈️
They think that they are contrails
It was bad in Greater Montreal and surrounding areas. Toronto seems like it was just as affected. Incredible!
If walking by a man hole or drain! Clear debris for drainage! Little things help!
Wouldn't want to be in one of those EVs when water starts coming in. If they say they are safe then you know they are not.
The storm sewer lines full of sand, it looks like there is not maintenance. Who wants to buy in this area?
Looks like God finally flushed the toilet
Looks like Matthew 24.
Holy shit. Water just doesn’t have anywhere to go.
Be safe❤we pray for you 🎉
Sending love from Hamilton Ontario
I also live in Toronto and I didn't see any flooding at all. Whoever took this video please let me know which Toronto get this much flooding , which area. Don't let me think that it's a fake news.
This is Mississauga, NOT Toronto
This is in Mississauga I saw it first hand. It was really bad
where's it supposed to drain? per Joni Mitchell: they paved paradise and put up a parking lot/they took all the trees and put them in a tree museum
Looks like Montreal, last week
In all my years of living in the dot I have never seen this before.
Are you one of the people who listened to NOAH when he warned you?
Today , God's warning is about THE GOOD NEWS of HIS KINGDOM , that is now being announced worldwide , wich Jesus foretold would be PREACHED in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all nations before the end comes ( Matthew 24v 14 ) .
Going as per plan. God maketh rain on the just and the unjust. -Matthew
Money was spent on renaming streets, giving city council members raises and foreign investment. Could have been used to clean the storm drains and fortify the infrastructure.
Sorry folks the storm sewer basins haven't been cleaned the additional funds went to rainbow crosswalks. Only so much in the budget
1. **Storm Sewer Basins Not Cleaned**:
- The storm sewer systems in both Toronto and Mississauga are regularly maintained. The City of Mississauga, for example, has a comprehensive stormwater management system that includes over 1,900 km of storm sewer pipes¹². Regular maintenance and cleaning are essential to prevent flooding and ensure the system functions properly[^10^]¹¹.
2. **Funds Allocated to Rainbow Crosswalks**:
- The budget for rainbow crosswalks is separate from the stormwater management budget. For instance, the cost of a rainbow crosswalk in Brampton was estimated at $32,000, with partial funding from the Region¹⁴. This is a relatively small amount compared to the overall budget for stormwater infrastructure, which is valued at $5.2 billion in Mississauga alone¹².
3. **Budget Constraints**:
- While budgets are always a concern, the allocation for stormwater management and infrastructure maintenance is prioritized to ensure public safety. The claim that funds were diverted from essential services like storm sewer maintenance to rainbow crosswalks is not supported by the available information¹²¹⁴.
In summary, the claim that storm sewer basins were neglected due to funds being diverted to rainbow crosswalks is not accurate. Both Toronto and Mississauga have dedicated budgets and regular maintenance schedules for their stormwater systems to prevent flooding and ensure public safety.

Don't worry. We have Justin Trudeau on the case who assures us all that a carbon tax is going to stop nature.
Wish i could bring my kayak, looks fn crazy fun. Sorry to anyone affected by this.
Outstanding!!
I drove by Grimsby, Ontario yesterday on my way back to Toronto from Niagara on the Lake. Very sparsely populated area like this where nature still dominates the landscape. No flooding of any kind in sight except on the QEW where of course roads are required for shuttling people from A to B. It's just an unfortunate circumstance of progress, if you want to call it that.
While those people living in the multimillion dollar homes in Grimsby are glad they don't h ave to deal with floods, they are also benefiting off of the misery and suffering of those of us who can't afford to live in those retreats. It is amazing how beautiful the country side is, but they're dotted with farm land and that's what they do to survive. These people work hard for their success. Anyway, compared to Toronto or the concrete madness it seems like the idealyc life being away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Virtually everyone has 2-3 cars per home in their double garages. Looking at the median income of Grimsbly it's close to a million dollars annum. That's typically $400k per partner. The median household income of Toronto or similar city is probably $50k with both spouses working at Tim Hortons or Walmart.
This wasn't because of concrete. 138 mm rain fell on Mississauga in 3 hours. I was there buckets of rain fell and cars got stuck in water
Stop building on flood plains, start spending tax dollars on repairs, maintenance and proper infrastructure and stop spending tax dollars on woke jokes.
3 hours non-stopping pouring rain....nice to see...no drainage issues...well planned neighborhood...
every detail in your video was meticulously crafted, impressive! ️
That looks like awesome surfing.
I live about 45 minutes west of Toronto and the same storm system which hit Toronto also hit us. Yet we’re not flooded.
This is clearly a result of greed and stupidity in the real estate system where your building on every available scrap of land even if it happens to be a natural water drainage path. Overbuilding carelessly without thought of rain flow.
Same in montreal.last week
Ones you go Woke you go Broke. I live in Toronto for over 20+ years before i move out far away north of Ontario. Good thing I did, if people don't wake up and get their shit together more and more of this you will see.
That plaza, with the Vibrin Drug Mart, is across the street from my condo. I was in there earlier, around the time the rain started. However, I really got soaked elsewhere and the grocery store, where I later bought my groceries, had a flooded parking lot and several leaks in the roof.
Cue the inevitable Toronto “flood prevention tax” - which of course will prevent no floods.
Perfectly normal for the GTA, happens once or twice every 200,000 years. As a typical Toronto Bylaw to make it convenient for none licensed/paying road users, next week will see the implementation of Boat lanes. This will leave enough room for one way vehicle traffic only at a width of no more than 1.59 meters. Bike and boat lanes will be approximately 3m each on both sides of the street.
As a side note, stop signs will be replaced with lighthouses and renamed once every 6 months to coincide with a foreign dignitary who has dictatorial relations in oppressive countries.
And this is why.... Toronto pays a rain tax!!!
Official let this happen just like let wild fire burn through our national park in AB. So, they can use these as an excuses continuing collect rain tax and carbon tax from us!
O snap, did Olivia Chows Caribana outfit clog the sewer?
Wow. In the Beach area of Toronto we got less than 2 minutes rain. The side walks did not even get wet. By 3:30 it started to get sunny.
There won't be a ton of sympathy for the GTA from the RoC.
Understatement
@@EvelynSaungikar yep, the Trudeau of cities in 🇨🇦
Toronto keeps voting ideologues for mayors. No sympathy from me.

Wrong
@@OhBlivEUnIt’s absolutely true, they even admit that they do it. For our benefit, of course.
do you all want to see shit happen like a pole melt or something?
It is not Toronto. Mississauga was a huge landfill when I came to Canada 35 years ago. It still has Ecosystem of the landfill though houses are over 3 to 5 million dollars in Mississauga.
Mississauga was a huge land fill? I've been living here all my life, over 65 years. There were only three that I ever heard of. One was around by Erinmills parkway and the QEW, it was closed back in the mid 70s or so. There was also one up near Streetsville, also long since closed. The only one that is still open isn't even in Mississauga, it's up in Brampton.
Mississauga is a collection of smaller towns mashed together into a city. That's why it doesn't really have a real downtown core to it. Unless, you want to consider Square One and a bunch of condos to be a downtown. That's what happens when small communities get flooded with immigration. Ironically, the city of Mississauga did not want to share a similar fate and become part of Toronto.
I’ve lived in Mississauga all my life what you are saying is incorrect. Yes we had landfills but one was turned into a Golf course I believe but both have been long closed. Now we have a distribution centre in Meadowvale.
This wasn't because of concrete or landfill 138 mm rain fell on Mississauga in 3 hours. I was there buckets of rain fell and cars got stuck in water
@@Deira854 It only fell in certain limited areas. I'm at 10 and the QEW, rained hard, but not nearly that much. All the infrastructure is designed to handle an average amount. Too much and you get local flooding. My building was flooded a few years back, had to camp in a motel for a month before they decided the building wasn't going to fall over. We have a creek along the back, with a 6-8 foot embankment. That was over topped and flooded the basement.
The city knows these floods will start to happen thats why Olivia Chow proposed a Rain Tax..
GEOSTORM anyone?
Buenos días hermana está terrible😢😮
Crazy, 99% of this rain missed us in downtown Toronto.
About time Canadians wash their cars!
Dog sleds.
why did he open the hood of his car ?
There's nothing natural about this weather. All manufactured, controlled and manipulated. Weather is the new WMD.
Instead of wasting money on the "cosmetic stuff", it is high time now to spend serious money on revamping or overhauling the sewage infrastructure, otherwise, people must not re-elect these people or parties in the next elections, basically, it is our fault, trying the "failed ones" again & again will only lead to disasters like this, this weather is changing for sure globally, but the people in charge are not willing to act and respond to that change. It seems Canada is facing a serious leadership crisis at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels. Concrete steps are required on a war footing, no time for BS anymore.
I got an idea ! Let's build more condos !! F the infrastructure......F the Science Center! F The Greenbelt !...................luv, Fat Ford.
too much development to quick. you reap what you sow.
Man this drought is brutal.
Just call Turdeau. He'll just up the carbon tax. That should stop the flooding right?
Prayers for all affected this is awful and hell is happening to this world
Has nothing to do with extreme weather! Inadequate drainage system do to failure to keep up with urban growth
A rain tax would have prevented this.
Why is the footage such low quality? Looks like those were filmed in the 80’s. 😂
Those are new cars !
Wow people this is Canada sat tru Sunday i was floded
So this is the fourth flood in Canada this year that I’ve heard of. All I can think is maybe it’s time to remember that central Canada was underwater 12000 years ago.
