Montreal residents calling on city to take action after flooding

“Happening way too often,” says George Padula, after his home was flooded in St-Leonard from heavy rainfall caused by the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby. He's calling on the city of Montreal to take action. Swidda Rassy reports.

The municipality should vacum pump the sewers like they use to at regular intervals . When sewers are full of rubbish they can't handle the flow. In early July our neighborhood sewers were pumped clean and we had no flooding. It is an obligation of the municipality to clean those

L'architecture et l'Urbaniste de Saint-Leonard et le beton qui ont assecher les sol. L'amenagement preventive pour augmenter la résilience des sols urbains face a la sécheresse et aux pluies abondante est vraiment une des seules solutions qui pourait evité ce genre de phénomenes et domages envers nos résidents.

This might sound crazy but ever since Trudeau’s government announced that we pay more carbon taxes to fight climate change we in Montréal Quebec are getting more rain turn to floods in the summer. My prayers go out to Quebeckers my friends and their families. Any electric cars damaged 😢🙏🖤🇨🇦❤️‍🩹

There needs to be a new way of designing and building houses and structures in general. For example limiting the ground floor to parking and utilities.

Watch out for black mould when cleaning. Its week after in 2013 calgary was flooded and the mold was the biggest threat to health beware to get mask before starting any work

Too bad they've never heard of my emergency flood barrier construction method....quick, fast, waterproof, and no back breaking agonizingly slow labor. Anyone interested in it now?

Polar ice melts and global warming to be studied and taken more seriously

Do people in Montreal have common sense? Your sea level is very low unless you are living in Mount Royal. Move people! This flooding is going get worse every year eventually insurance companies are not going to renew your policies.

Uh yeah but we've got bike lanes. Stop being bigots.
