- Would it surprise you to know drinking water in some Canadian cities contains unsafe levels of lead?
A year-long investigation by more than 120 journalists from nine universities and 10 media organizations found some disturbing answers.
Hundreds of thousands of Canadians could be consuming tap water laced with high levels of lead leaching from aging infrastructure and plumbing, a large collection of newly-released data and documents reveals.

Every one thinks they are living in 2020 but every old world issue still exists
Times change, Man doesn't.
It's funny how Global thinks this is a big deal, this is least of our worries go find a real story and stop grabbing at strings to troll Ontarians
Canada needs Trump. HAIL TRUMP
@Alexander Chohan the truly scary thing is in cities like Toronto, Montreal and Quebec their water systems will never be upgraded.
Where are all the flying cars?
1950 : Will have flying car in future
2019:We still have lead in our water
Raunak Thakur More like 2019: We’re improving our standard of living brought on from the 50s
Raunak, yes there are many things like that. For example, we can fly to the moon yet almost nobody will create a woman's digital watch that does everything a man's does or that has a good expansion strap other than cheap plastic.
Jihadi justine is in charge what do you expect he paid out a few mill to a known terrorist then told the vets they didn't have any money for them he imported nothing but muslims to come in while not helping the homeless or homeless vets you think this traitor cares about canadians or his own pockets he even gave this trash news station money to stfu during the election. If thats not a traitor to canadians I don't know what is.
You should edit your comment and say "50s" while you still can. Where about to be living in the 20s "back in my day"
1950: Lead in everything!!!
2019: wait no
Why is this not being talked about more. Disgusting
Isaiah Lancer Shh! You don’t wanna wake the herd...
same can be said about 9/11. jeffery epstien.. the war on drugs.
its all done on purpose and you weren't suppose to find out. no one predicted the internet
Today: “I can’t believe those idiots used lead for water pipes”
100 years from now: “I can’t believe those idiots used plastic for water pipes”
There is already backlash of plastic roads. Who would have thought putting plastic wastes to good use is a terrible idea. You can't please these people.
Micro plastic
I going back to old school using bamboo☺
So whats the solution?
at the rate we're going more like 100 years from now : I can’t believe those idiots used lead for water pipes
Give the freaking link on report with actual results with locations, lead levels and dates. All your links lead to another articles extolling how great and important this investigation is, but where the actual data?
Jason St-Coeur excellent. Please provide link to results of _their_ report then. Thank you
I have been working construction for years. I have never seen a lead water pipe. I have seen ancient lead drain pipes. Lots of water pipes are asbestos and I see them all the time. I really doubt lead pipes were used
I pay taxes for this
You pay taxes to fund clean water in other countries, not in Canada.
You pay taxes for Trudeau's vacations.
don't pay your taxes then
Thank you for paying taxes for this
jesus died for this
Any other secrets we should know .
Flouride is a level 4 corrosive toxin and should not be in tap water. They say it benefits oral health, but I find it odd that the government is so concerned about my oral health in such a way. Why don't the Liberals or Conservatives pay for my Dental care as well?
@@abatos1146 no doubt, especially in view of studies showing good dental health seems to effectively prevent poor overall health.
Lots. Estrogen water levels in Halifax, police brutality hid by propaganda, etc.
Abatos 11 you spelt fluoride wrong
Pick up the rug

HAHAHAHA 🤣
Underrated comment !!!
Sad but probably true
I was thinking same.. I know we have a water crisis in many towns and reserves. Toronto water is safe, with possible exception in older building. You should let the water run a bit as a practice before drinking in general.. Pipes do get old and you probably don't want sediments (metals /plastics /coating) , bugs, in the first little bit of water.
Absolutely
Is there a way to have the full unedited interviews as well? I fully understand the need for cuts and edits, but a secondary page for the footage that doesn't make it to air would be awesome.
The rest of the story. The lead pipes and lead plumbing are only on homes built before 1961 and 1.6% of Canadian homes are affected. Have your water tested, you're probably OK, but if not then you can deal with the problem.
Or atleast sell better water filters
Remember when you took a sip of fountain water and it tasted like metal?
Well that’s lead
I haven't had that honour.
Seeing all this, I'm blessed to be born in India.
Here the water from rivers is just filtered and UV sterilised. The pipe line is made of Galvanised Iron and brass. These pipes were laid as early as 1950s. Modern day pipe line still use G.I. and brass.
The water's taste is sweet and doesn't taste like chemicals or metals. The only problem here is we don't save water as good as the westerners. We'll eventually do it.
@@cypher10297 dont you guys dump the dead into rivers and still drink from it? Bathe and poop there?
@@cypher10297 Your Sewage is basically your domestic..How is that better?? LOL
Srinath Sudharsan
Bruh why the fck a water would be sweet? Bet you i bet your water taste horrible that they gotta put some sweetener in it to cover the taste
Good reason to start ripping up the old streets in these cities, and start repairing them above, and below.
Infrastructure rather than military.
That’s would be kinda hard .. here in u
U.S . Depending on where u in U.S and how u state and city 🌃 is run .. some Cities can afford replace the pipes .. others can’t..
@@mariadelgado4873 take the 100 billion extra trump put in for military and use for water pipes, that'll get a few major cities done. Lol
Like that will ever happen
Any thing we can do to spend money
I’m a plumber and I stick to bottled water because I know that those service lines are full of lead.
Keep telling people that! When I try and ask some people what they think is in there, I usually hear something to the affect of: I been drinking this for years, I'm fine! They don't seem to comprehend accumulative effect.
Bottled water was also discovered to be contaminated with plastic in excess of safer levels of ppm. Im talking about the single use plastic bottles. Good luck with safe and clean water
@@shazam6926 wasn't plastic or micro plastics added to the food chain anyways?
I would guess plastic is safer then lead. Not that I'm happy about that either.
Y not just a filter? Some brita filters say they reduce lead
FYI many bottled water companies simply bottle local tap water...
Forget tap water, and forget typical bottled water with added minerals. Invest in a water distiller and make your own purified water for drinking.
Wow I’m surprised global did a report on this and didn’t spin it in favour of the secrecy
Well wait for it. Surely some new tax or pipe retrofitting project to further loosen tax payer purse strings will come next, IMO!
That's usually the way of it!
they have no choice the world will literally end if we dont work together and stop being scared of evil dictators who threaten us into hiding the truth
Taxes are fine. Investing in avoiding making our population stupider is a great idea.
We had our water tested as we drink a lot of water-and try to avoid too many plastic bottles in Landfill, Our tested good quality it didn't cost anything or maybe there is a small fee now. I mix fruit or Crystal light. Or the best water in Manitoba is fresh running artesian water off Lake Wpg. Just have to drive to Wpg beach area or Matlock--this Spring water runs in underwater streams!
Money isn't the problem... let's just be honest people
Obama There’s systems in place to keep the American infrastructure on the decline- mark my words: 5 years from now things are only going to get worse. Prepare! Prepare while you have the time! Something big is coming, I can see it.
@@StayPositiveLLC stay vigilant my friend, god bless.
@Jason St-Coeur okay boomer
@@StayPositiveLLC this isn't America.
@@SolemnGraceYT ok zoomer
Jk idc what you were talking about
Other canadians: wow so our water is dirty.
Reserves: First time?
There is a reserve where they purify there own water and transport it through water trucks to the houses, but alot of times it takes awhile to get the water around so people are constantly waiting and waiting
Terrible chief funding and "owned indigenous self governing" where not to share with its people
Brought to light by environmentalist university students. You know, the people that the commenters here hate the most.
Disastrous tap water filled with nasty chemicals indeed. Bottled water that is in a container that is made of poison (chemicals in plastic are carcinogens) and the temperature increasing and decreasing ruin bottle water even before people buy it.
You can blame this directly on corporations.
Economy deception. Using key words and the important things people need to push corrupted mentality along the deceptive words aimed to plant fears into people so they buy into the tricks, instead of accept or pursue more positive answers.
Meanwhile the free wild water rivers and oceans are exploited and chemicals dumped harming the planet and ironically everyone as time passes.
If you think digging a hole on the same boat you are on to spite the people on the other part of it is intellectual, everyone with this mentality is part of the corruption and destruction problem, and worse, they are stupid and in denial to it.
There's environmentalism, then there's extremism. It's extremism that is hated@
Finally they addressed an actual problem. Good on them!
The students probably did a good job. Global (CNN North) "forgot" to mention that the only homes being affected are pre 1961,
The worst part is that nothing is still going to get done
with an attitude like that, you're damn right it won't
@@anthonylowney1395 in America we banned pipes with lead. But not in pipes over 3" on diameter, so we still get the lead. Also those are copper pipes with a very low percentage of lead.
But does your cooch need a smooch?
K Black take my name seriously damn it
iForgot MyName oh yeah how about you take a shot walk on a long pier... dough!
Very Informative. Also +1 for the video editing. Very well presented. You have come far Global News. Keep up the good work
Crap! Doug Ford recently just did cuts on water treatment on Ontario.
Well you gotta cut something.... Ontario was circling the drain with regards to the debt....You have previous leaders to thank for that!
Well shut, first comes education cuts now this
@@savydude1 Unfortunately, Doug Ford has increased the provincial deficit while cutting services. Due to his tax break to the wealthy.
@@savydude1 you must be kidding, right?
Whaaaaat
I own a house in a rural area of PEI. I had the water tested by provincial government multiple times in the 90's and was told it was safe.. I was only 21 when I purchased the home and didn't question what they had told me. I raised 5 children in that home and didn't find out until years later that we had been drinking and bathing in water with manganese and other heavy metals 100x higher then guidelines of Canada but was told it was safe.. All my children and myself have serious health issues and after doing a lot of research have discovered that the fish processing plant down the road had dug several deep water wells that contaminated my well and others in the community. I've made hundreds of calls to several gov members and have been repeatedly ignored. I have copies of all water tests that prove how unsafe this water is and the comments at the bottom of each page saying there is no health concerns and I can't even find a lawyer to help me even after getting blood tests to prove that my manganese levels were 3x higher then normal 10yrs after moving from that home!!
sorry to hear this kara, what have you been drinking lately?
Bro is iron man 💀💀(jk, hope ur don’t better🙌🏿👏🏿)
Hmmm, "this will cost homeowners $1000s..."
Last I heard the homeowner was responsible for their side of the meter and the provider for everything on their side of the meter.
Typically it's from the curb stop valve, which is the underground valve usually located at the property line.
@@SP-ez4lk is that in Canada? Because for a fact I've had two lines replaced from the curb to the meter in upstate NY and the water officer flat told me it was the town's responsibility. I never paid a penny other than the usual bill.
@@danmslacker6782 Yes, that is under Canadian law.
@@mikesmith6469 thanks.
Public water = municipal taxes.
Hone owners end up paying both sections of pipe.
One "on credit" and the other up front.
And you wonder why so many people buy water bottles.
I'm pretty sure the greed of bottling factories is less compliant or par with the cities.
Further this adds more plastics to your daily water source. I haven't heard of many people with lead poisoning in Canada. However I have heard a lot of Alzheimer's especially in Ontario. So maybe we should be more concerned about aluminum. Bretta filters were tested and have high traces of aluminum most people are also too cheap to change their filter frequently and will eventually get the build up of toxins anyways.
Lots of lazy plumbers still use brass fittings, copper pipe and lead solder. We have new brass fittings in our home and they all say contain traces above California's lead limit(on the packaging because of California's strict regulations).
Water from water bottles also may come from lead sources. They are a scam.
@@chaython well said.
@@chaython aluminum and Alzheimer's huh?
more of this kind of reporting please. Forget playing the silly politics game. I love that you did your own testing and can call out government.
Ever had the “privilege” of tasting or smelling or looking at the sediment or yellow color of the water in Tottenham? It’s a REAL treat here 😤🙄
Don't forgot to pay 900, 000$ for a normal house that was 250, 000 a decade ago.
WildKatVixon yes, I distilled my water when there, I lived below hwy 9 on mount pleasant road. The sandy residue was dusty yellow stuff!
MagnetOnlyMotors right?! People think we’re exaggerating or lying altogether about how bad it is. It’s beyond stupid at this point. It’s inexcusable.
This video needs to go VIRAL!
My reverse osmosis system takes all the nutrients out of my water, interesting trade off.
@@flightographist its mostly iron, if you combine it with gray sea salt you should be better off 👍
@@flightographist Pink Himalayan salt is pretty much the same as any other salt (google it) and doesn't provide anything more substantial compared to other mass produced sodium chloride salts.
Bobbius Shadow the natural salt helps our body absorb and keep the water (helps with hydration) but as for a source of minerals it’s negligible
Do you save the ro WASTE water ?
Because its not actually WASTE
@41dirka that's true, thank you.
I live in Winnipeg, and recently had the city's side of lead service pipe replaced while they were doing water main upgrade project. The city's records wrongly identified my service pipe as copper, as it was actually lead installed in late 1940's.
Replacing private side of lead service pipe (approx 40') was estimated at approx. $4,000.
I decided NOT to replace the lead private side of water service as I did not have the funds, lead pipe appeared in very good condition, City of Winnipeg treats water with orthophosphate, contractor advised there was not much cost savings to replace the pipe at the same time the city replaced their side of the lead water sevice.
Questions:
How effective are the orthophosphates in our water, do they completely block lead from leaching into the water?
We have lead filter on our drinking water, but will we be exposed unexceptable levels of lead from unfiltered water when showering or cooking?
So many potential sources of contamination i.e. lead/legionella/radon/VOC's/mold/asbestos/formaldehyde, etc... Where is it reasonable to draw the line?
Another question: if orthophosphates coat your pipes, do they also coat your body's pipes?
@John McSween yep, you can not believe anything coming from government...they are so full of it, every day...all lies, all of the time
It can still be very harmful my friend. By the way, what kind of water you are drinking now a days?
Oh, so that's the reason for my stupidity.
Thank god people are finally acknowledging that there's a problem.
There's also lots of estrogen, but it's a start ❤
The incompetent and seditious government finally got caught , they knew , they always knew ..
Estrogen in cow's milk too - so ditch all dairy
@@carlystevenson950 I have sensitivities to dairy anyway 😖 There is organic cattle derived milk products though. It's just a little more expensive.
@@jozefbalzer yes but organic means pesticide free only. Estrogen is in cow's milk, goat's milk etc. because it's mammalian breastmilk just like humans produce.
There are estrogenic compounds in basically every foodstuff in the world. All plants contain estrogens. Meat contains estrogens. Dairy contains estrogens. There are estrogens naturally present in you, male or female.
Dietary estrogens are not necessarily problematic in any regard. It depends, biology is complex. Don't be paranoid.
All the bus stop advertisements in Hamilton say our water is safe, wonder if that's true. My building was built in the 60s and I'm a bit concerned.
theres simply no way its clean if the house is built in the 60s
1960’s? got some acid in those pipes? Free trip to mars mannn
Where do I go to get my water tested? Cambridge Ontario. The school up the street from me is reported as 8.1 level
That’s pretty bad 3.1 more than the national safe but less than India’s as there’s it 10ppb
There is a reason i live in Springwater Ontario......
Collecting our own rainwater and filtering it is the best solution here.
Easier said than done
So here's a key piece of missing info. How do we go about getting our water tested? Has the university research program set up a way for people to contact them? I 100% agree you must test first thing in the morning after water has stagnated overnight or a considerable amount of time to get a real indication of lead. Please let us know what help the researchers can provide.
A couple of years back now, PUC in a city I lived offered free testing within your home. Came out clean, but contact your local public works office to see what they can provide or direct you to whomever can help would be my suggestion
You might be able to call your city's or provinces information line (where I am I think it's 311) and they could potentially help you out.
Apparently, some cities test for lead after letting the tap run which reduces the amount of lead showing up in the test. I had my city test my water and this is what they did.
I am from Canada and am sorry to inform you that this is not totally true. The vast majority of Canada is safe, and the tests were not properly conducted.
i got a zero water filter jug it comes with a tds meter and in bolton ontario my water from tap has 320 ppm witch says is likely high in metals on the chart they give you. After i filter it i get 0 ppm so hopefully that is ok but they say taking all of it out takes all the good minerals out as well...
I measured (tds/pH) many buildings tap water in Montreal and they were around 150 ppm with a pH of 7.1-7.2 ... How much of it is lead, I don't know. Wish I had the measuring tools for every compound.
Bobbius Shadow Just to make sure, it means it’s safe or it is over regulations?
How is this not talked about more, we should all be on this! I'm definitely going to be raising awareness
this has been an issue for YEARS, DECADES in indigenous communities. since it is affecting canadian settlers... it can be brought to light on a national platform. this is Canada
Laila August I think not the indigenous communities would be the same Canada didn’t put lead pipes out on purpose to kill the indigenous if anything they wouldn’t have as much lead because they have to get there own water
R POWER lol have you even heard of pipelines? over 40% of indg water systems have advisories. And if they HAVE to get their own water, it means that they have no access to same “safe” water we do.
@@lailaaugust6069 love me a educated woman
So is that lead water the reason why my truck rusted out in 8 years ? Or was it the liquid acid you put on the roads ?
Salts make things rust. how do you not know that?
Wash your vehicle weekly
It's because water is naturally corrosive. Your truck rusted because water/moisture got to the metal, it has nothing to do with lead in the water. (road salt can aid corrosion, however)
I remember back then when I open the tap water, I felt safe drinking from it. Since I forgot when, around 2013, I discovered the tap water wasn’t clear as it used to be and taste a bit funny and occasionally had stomachache drinking it. Btw, live in Vancouver.
Vancouver has some of the best water in Canada. Southern Ontario has the worst
Have you had your pipes looked at? Last time I checked we have some of the safest drinking water in the world. Don't tell everyone.
I’ve been drinking tap water all my life. Will I be okay???
No wonder the water fountain at my school tastes wack
Free health care...... thats why they don’t tell us
Average Canadian family is paying more than 40% of their income in taxes, all considered. And they can't get clean water.
For more proof you guys shouldve tested house water for lead levels
Wow.. Great informative video! This has been eye opening
So instead of a full glass of lead. The solution is to have a full glass of orthophosphate? What are the health effects of that? Oh right.... they're not known yet.....
If I gave you two glasses of water, and told you one was definitely poisonous, but we think the other is probably safe, but we're not 100% sure, how long before you started gulping down the second glass?
Probably not very long.
@@seigeengine I wouldn't drink neither.of the two, as I do not drink tap water. However you can have it.
@@p123a6 Then you would die.
Not drinking tap water doesn't ensure you aren't drinking poison.
Rain water is contaminated by plenty of things. Well water can be as well. Plenty of chemicals migrate just fine through groundwater.
@@seigeengine No I wouldnt die for the reason you gave me two tap water options based on the remarks in my initial post. I do not drink tap water as there are other sources to get my water.
We have fountains in my school and they taste like metal, they tel us it’s ok and safe to drink. But water shouldn’t taste like freaking metal
This is why I don't shower. And drink Pepsi only
Which is made with- nevermind. Keep dreamin' "The American Dream"!
@Mike M you really think that I was serious?
This is water, this is the most important thing for human life along with oxygen. Whatever other projects you have, you need to put all focus to clean water and clean AIR!!
And it is when even China switched to 100% polypropylene piping for drinking water.
32353235e you can’t drink tap water in China. You aren’t really even supposed to shower in it without proper filtration
BPA yum
A steady average decline in lead but some people who live in older houses are still exposed to full levels
What century is this again?
I've been doing drain and plumbing since 2014 all over the GTA. Been replacing lead pipes with copper pipes from the city going inside the house. New houses getting built usually use pex pipes. It cost a lot to replace your old lead pipes but totally worth it you guys
ya but your water bill is ever increasing
You know, people can install a well and get water free.
Christopher Lacroix “free” lmao
@@firstnamelastname6520 well you've got the cost of the installation, and then salt if it's hard water, and I guess a bit of electricity. I guess you need a septic tank. But it's better than paying municipal per use water.
Montréal installed lead pipes over 100 years ago. They now want to change them but charge owners ( around 3000$-5000$) each ). What are municipal taxes for?
Me:oh wow that's not good
Also me:"drinks water anyway"
I've been drinking tap water here in Mississauga for 22 years and never had a problem. I'm fit and the doctor says I'm extremely healthy.
This is actually quite depressing to learn that Canada is one of the few developed countries who still have this issue. It's a New World still, unfortunately.
I think it's worse that USA. The head huncho of the world has this issue too
@@ishmaelm1932 you mean Obama?
@@imgerrydee
What? No the
Us govt in general
If you're an Albertan, Alberta actually banned Lead pipes a decade earlier. If you're house is built prior to 1960 you might want to get your service lines checked. My house was built in 1960s and I have copper service line, and the city line isn't lead.
In 1960 population of Edmonton was 260k and Calgary 218k. So 1.5% of the population maybe has to be concerned.
Wonder why everyone's getting cancer
You can rest assured that it's not our government's fault!
And if it is, well, good luck suing them!
I don't care how much it will cost for government to replace the LED pipes, it should be done ASAP, and we should know how much LED is coming out of our pipes.
This would explain how canada relected Justin Truedeau
Lol
I've been saying this ONAIR for years but no one cares til it's too late or they are affected themselves.
Hey Greta Thunberg, did you ignore this issue in your recent Alberta rallies? HOW DARE YOU!

Mercury causes calcification of organs including the brain, and it is added to the water along fluoride. Because the sewer pipes seem more important to those running these corporations than the wellbeing of people.
Osmosis machines are worth the investment and far more planet friendly as well as budget friendly than bottled water.
Canada is now falling into the developing country category. The infrastructure of the whole country is obsoleted, physically and politically. Yet, the bureaucracy in the government slow down or even stop the country to move forward.
what about flouride. Look here don't look there.
You’re not allowed to talk about that.
Wow someone call the truth police before this gets out of hand.
Woahwoah. Calm down turbo, were are trying to stay alive. Getting free will back will be another movement.
That has safe consumption levels, lead doesn't.
Fluoride in drinking water is perfectly fine. If you're worried about it dont go to a dentist anymore because theyll tell you the same thing I am
Was this ever an Actual Segment on Global News?
As if Turdo would do anything about it anyways
Wait... Quebec can't afford to replace their lead water lines? They're getting atleast 13bn in equalization payments and their province is running a surplus.
well this explains why we elected Trudeau.
He can say he's sorry now. Photo op.
cassidy408 I was thinking the same thing .
This situation was there before Trudeau so perhaps it's Harper's fault
im in Montreal and they changed our pipes on my road. never knew it was this bad.
Thank Trudeau he is doing construction
Meanwhile, several different reserves in Canada, have little to no drinking water what so ever. Since colonialism...
Here's to hoping almost all of them get it before 2030
The Indians have much much larger problems they need to solve than their drinking water.

Correct me if I’m wrong but why not just change the pipes to a lead outside and a plastic or silicone inside
just get a water distiller $100, its the only sure way, in 3 days youl feel the difference.
@@hyacinth8844 I've heard that to, I dont think that it's bad for you but just not as hydrating

How is the water in Toronto
I live in montreal quebec , the tap water is literally white
Saguenay - I know right?!?!?! It’s disgusting!!
In ontario the school water fountains taste like metal
When did the french learn to drink snow?
Same I thought those were just air bubbles because when you slow the tap down it’s not white
did they fix this?

I use a countertop distiller.
I bought a Zero Water pitcher and filters. From research Zero Water filters are far more affective at removing lead than britta. Best I can afford to keep my kids drinking water safe here in Regina, Saskatchewan. Take care fellow canadians, have a safe winter.
500 million $$ for Montreal to replace their pipes or lose tourism. I was planning on moving there, not any more.
Ryan Menezes they’ve already replaced alot of pipes these past years, but they still have a some way to go. They replaced all the city pipes in my neighborhood three years ago actually
Talk about public health not showing transparency either
We don’t even have clean tap water here in my home community. Our tap water is pond water and is yellow tinted. Also due to old water lines, we regularly have dirt coming out of the taps. Don’t even like to shower in it too be honest. Will be installing an artesian well as soon as I can afford it

Meanwhile the free wild water rivers and oceans are exploited and chemicals dumped harming the planet and ironically everyone as time passes.
Those who think digging a hole on the same boat you are on to spite the people on the other part of it is intellectual, everyone with this mentality is part of the corruption and destruction problem, and worse, they are stupid and in denial to it.
A newspaper nobody reads did a story on it, therefore everybody knows
Another issue missing in this report is what and how waste in our water is treated. The process creates heavy metals. The process should be to bring our drinking back to life. Fluoride is another issue that needs to be changed. Try filtering your water or other methods.
WHAT ABOUT THE FLUORIDE AND 5G RADIATION
5G radiation? stfu
YA! Those are more serious and abundant

I think Canadian govt must seriously study how dirty our water is. I have seen creamy water in Cornell community in markham Ontario and city of markham still refused to study the water. Hence we have a high percentage of population having cancer from stage 1-4. It’s a social cost one way or the other.
They already knew what is in the water before you complained about it. How much time we must tell you they did this stuff on purpose?
Asbestos as well as lead, which Health Canada said that there is no data showing that drinking Asbestos is dangerous....right.
Sure let's buy water bottles that aren't natural and full of plastic.
Check your numbers, Flint water was way higher than 7ppb
Noah Hayter yeah I thought that was kinda off as the Canadian legal standard was supposed to be 5ppb
Reverse osmosis water baby, we safe!
How do we speed up the process to get this fixed. I heard Oakville has lead in their water as well:(
Montreal is one of the oldest city discovered in Canada (1535), founded in 1642. There are still led pipes, but even wooden pipes. The new mayor has started to have these pipes changed. It is not only a budget problem. Ask the motorist, specially at trafic time.
Agreed but at least they are starting to replace these pipes.
When I was a very young boy, mamma told me we're all gonna die.
I believe that Doug Ford said that the water is safe. That simply means that he is saying that the lead is of no threat at all to the water itself. However, the lead contaminated water may be a threat to people, but that is a different story all together.
