So does anybody else think the money towards renaming Dundas street might be better served trying to mitigate the flooding issue??

I blame Olivia Chow. She could have levied rain tax to prevent this from happening

Water does what water wants to do…Convincing water is an uphill battle…

The drainage sewer on my street in Brampton is about the circumference of a dinner plate, when it should be the circumference of a trash lid. Hasn't been updated since the 60's and the it's the reason why the street keeps flooding. Some infrastructure is clearly needed.

The Video shows a flooded Lake Shore Boulevard just West of Ontario st, by the CNE and Ontario Place.
The Toronto Indy cars will be travelling around 180 mph along Lake Shore next weekend, hopefully.

Well, Toronto is far from being a world class city being in the third world country Canada has become.

This rain eventually flowed into Lake Ontario.

Well Toronto just didn’t pay enough TAXES so it flooded 🤷‍♂️

[WW-sjzk]

[masahirogo]

I am interested in how EVs deal with this

[AlfredMajor-fp]

They need spending money on infrastructure now

[williamterrymasters]

I don’t feel sorry for wildlife I don’t have any power and control of life and death

[johnnyjones]

Oh look, it flooded on a flood plain.

[StuntDonk]

Too bac they don't have crocodiles, caymens and alligators in Canada! News would have been much more interesting

[andygrenn]

Too much rain very little money to correct situation…Rain will happen again…money is needed to combat…where is the money…we got the rain…On a positive note umbrella sales Tuesday went through the roof…

I heard Olivia Chow blamed Trudeau, boarded a giant inflatable Doug Ford and floated to a convenience close to the future site of Therme's underground parking lot for some ready to drink cocktails.
