Get ready to pay a 15% increase in property taxes for this repair and others upcoming due to complete incompetence of the city as well as for the incoming unskilled criminals refugees.
@@MrDmadness I guess you've never been to Calgary? Few points that make bringing up refugees and immigrants in general relevant. First of all, the infrastructure in Calgary wasn't designed for the current population, and most of the population growth over the past decade has been from immigration. Then he specifically mentioned "unskilled". Many of these immigrants get placed in work projects, even if they're not qualified, because the city tries to find them work-- and that's combined with left wing cities like Calgary having less youth entering into the trades because they're all convinced they'll be TikTok stars or fashion designers. So these repair projects tend to have an above average level of unskilled workers, many who can on top of being unskilled lack communication skills. I'm getting tired of any conversation regarding immigration being dismissed as discrimination. There are problems that stem from immigration, and I'm going to talk about them, and it has nothing to do with skin tone or hatred. It's just basic math at this point. How many homes are we building in a year? How many immigrants are coming in? Right now we're set to build what, 200,000 homes this year? While CTV recently reported that we saw 435,000 immigrants enter the country in only three months? So we're bringing in what, nine times more immigrants than we're building homes? I don't care what color they are-- there's no homes! Our hospitals are overwhelmed! Our schools are overwhelmed! Our infrastructure across the board is struggling with this influx of people that simply do not belong here. And then this is all on the eve of AI taking over massive swathes of unskilled labor jobs. So we'll have millions of unskilled Foreigners that lack communication skills and who are being replaced by AI extremely fast--- and who is going to pay for them? It's not the Liberals man. It's not the progressives. It's going to be Conservatives. It's going to be average Canadians that are already struggling. We're setting ourselves up for massive suffering, as things stand an entire generation is basically going homeless. And instead of course correcting, we're slamming on the accelerator and driving right into that brick wall. So yeah, you can accuse me of "juvenile discrimination" til the damned cows come home, I don't care, your words are hollow and meaningless in the face of an entire generation facing homelessness. And there are millions of people just like me who are absolutely DONE having a conversation about this.
No city can just replace a line of this size if they do not have pipe to repair it in storage, most don't. You're not wrong though, the lack of any plan to replace aged system components is on the city.
Winnipeg isn't one of those places, main on Taylor over a total distance of maybe a km done in sections, underground work, is going to be going on into the 3rd year. Suspect largely due to huge increase in residences on one side of the street (large condo and apartment blocks plus commercial). Why they did not put the infrastructure in place first (those buildings should be occupied by now but among other things very restricted access) and why do it all underground (as in horizontal boring, only access points on the surface torn up)?

This isn't just a throw people at it kind of problem. The pipes that they have to replace are custom made on demand. They have to MAKE the replacements. The portions of pipe are as described in the video, Pre-stressed concrete with steel cables surrounding the center. This is something that requires expertise and deliberation. They can't just mix up a batch of concrete and throw it on and call it a day.
@@Alacritous Ok, so then how have other cities been able to make similar repairs in a week? Is it maybe that those cities had done their due diligence and had some of those pipes made up and ready incase there were repairs necessary? Is it not true that they assessed damage at other parts of the pipe as recently as April? Seems like that would have been a great time to order up some repair parts. Even if they hadn't assessed damage recently, which they did-- They know this infrastructure is severely aged. They are BEYOND negligent for not having something made up in the case of an emergency.
@@MrDmadness They knew there was damage back in April. They should have had several replacement sections made up then just in case-- especially since they knew the infrastructure involved is over 50 years old.

"criminal refugees" good ol canadian racism
Why would you toss refugees in that rant ? I agree with your other points but just tossing out discrimination in there is very juvenile
@@MrDmadness I guess you've never been to Calgary? Few points that make bringing up refugees and immigrants in general relevant. First of all, the infrastructure in Calgary wasn't designed for the current population, and most of the population growth over the past decade has been from immigration. Then he specifically mentioned "unskilled". Many of these immigrants get placed in work projects, even if they're not qualified, because the city tries to find them work-- and that's combined with left wing cities like Calgary having less youth entering into the trades because they're all convinced they'll be TikTok stars or fashion designers. So these repair projects tend to have an above average level of unskilled workers, many who can on top of being unskilled lack communication skills.
I'm getting tired of any conversation regarding immigration being dismissed as discrimination. There are problems that stem from immigration, and I'm going to talk about them, and it has nothing to do with skin tone or hatred. It's just basic math at this point. How many homes are we building in a year? How many immigrants are coming in? Right now we're set to build what, 200,000 homes this year? While CTV recently reported that we saw 435,000 immigrants enter the country in only three months? So we're bringing in what, nine times more immigrants than we're building homes? I don't care what color they are-- there's no homes! Our hospitals are overwhelmed! Our schools are overwhelmed! Our infrastructure across the board is struggling with this influx of people that simply do not belong here.
And then this is all on the eve of AI taking over massive swathes of unskilled labor jobs. So we'll have millions of unskilled Foreigners that lack communication skills and who are being replaced by AI extremely fast--- and who is going to pay for them? It's not the Liberals man. It's not the progressives. It's going to be Conservatives. It's going to be average Canadians that are already struggling. We're setting ourselves up for massive suffering, as things stand an entire generation is basically going homeless. And instead of course correcting, we're slamming on the accelerator and driving right into that brick wall.
So yeah, you can accuse me of "juvenile discrimination" til the damned cows come home, I don't care, your words are hollow and meaningless in the face of an entire generation facing homelessness. And there are millions of people just like me who are absolutely DONE having a conversation about this.
