Time to vote out the CAQ... Enough is enough, they're more focused on language than doing their own f*cking jobs.

[skonstas]

Why do we built houses with a garage running downhill from the road in Canada? It is madness.

[generativeresearch]

Québec must and should spend more taxpayer money on making sure French is the default language. That should solve the problem

[mathew]

Thankfully we have big beautiful bicycle paths though!!!

[jamesbilodeau]

More overwhelmed and under maintained infrastructure. But well paid politicians...whats wrong with this picture!?

[kittyandthekatz]

The Government is too busy policing language use in hospitals! Priorities oui?

[HuckThis]

Same thing happened in July. Same areas got flooded. You would think they would clean the sewers? They are pretty much constipated.

Not big deal nothing to see ! The importance is new painting over broken asphalt, new plastic cones for bicycle path and removing the electric bicycle that they don't make money with

[gorionzorander]

got to thank Valerie Plant for putting bike paths instead of taking care of the infrastructure. we need to vote her out,

[Insomni_maniac]

Obviously they're not paying enough carbon tax! More taxes would prevent this! 🙄

This is what happens when you densify home construction without upgrading the infrastructure to support it. Poor planning is to blame, city should be sued for damages as a result of city planning.

A Month ago it was Toronto, now it was Montreal's turn.

More money to Ukraine less for Canadians yes sir 😂

Enjoy your 15 minute cities, this is just the beginning.

the tide is high
but i'm holding on

[GULSHAN]

Feel so sorry for the businessman, no way he should be asked to foot the cost of damages. The city should build a larger capacity drainage system, otherwise, it will cost a lot more due to inevitable repeated flooding.

[imnodjproductions]

The mayor should spend more time and money on pipes instead of bicycle paths.

Growing up in Montreal it didn't occur to me driving east from Vaudreuil, you are going downhill. Probably 800 feet over a thirty mile stretch. So water in Montreal moves west to east and from north to south with lots of erosion. Seak higher ground. Now I live in Rigaud, but not near the mountain.

[sbeverlee]

I guess bicycle paths are more important than management of storm drain systems.

[vincebuono]

Instead of doing bike paths on the streets …. Take care of our drainage system!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡…..wake up our mayor plante!!!!
