Montreal businesses call for urgent aid after severe flooding

“We might close if we don’t have the financial help,” says business owner Julien Morin, who lost the majority of his inventory due to flooding caused by Friday's water main break that affected parts of Montreal. Swidda Rassy reports.

My apartment (the basement) was on News yesterday, nobody came to check it today, the insurance doesn't cover the damages to the walls, windows, and the floor, they said it belongs to the building insurance, the syndicate of the building said he won't make the claim, he believes there's nothing to claim. The cleaning company will need the syndicate of building to make the claim, so they can do their job. Do I need to find a lawyer first, it's ridiculous and hopeless so far, I hope the city office can do something, they're closed during the weekend, need to wait until Monday.

Maybe if they had spent more on infrastructure rather than language issues.

[erikkorhonen]

you get 13, 3 Billion in "equalization" payments, you already received the aid

[huyueze]

This is a negligence form the City. Put a action to this municipality.

Valerie doesn't care about small people, she's with the big corporations. she loves destruction, theft, drugs, you name it. Helping small people is not her thing.

Are they allowed to ask for help in English?

[rickywinthrop]

Montreal has always seemed like the dirtiest city in Canada and this didnt help. Great old city but a total pigsty at the best of times.

Who’s the clown who works for the city, he talks to the people like we’re kids

Just saying Quebec, this relief response from federal government is despicable, if u have any self respect start up another referendum.

[capcarter]

Isn't this exactly what insurance is for?

Urgent help would also be appreciated for the tens of thousands of homes flooded during the flood caused by Hurricane Debby! The Legault government is pitiful!

[sprogbog]

Billions for the Ukraine while our Infrastructure is Crumbling.

The republic of Congo pledges $2billion to help Montreal flood victims.

We need more condos and more carbon tax said the government

[sonyasunheart]

We need to connect the Dots with WEF and the 15 minute cities, centralized banking and digital ID's.
Now.

Money spent on social justice woke instead of utilities

fifteen days to fill a f.k.n réclamation..if not u r done! The hôtel de ville de mtl must be judged by the Suprême court and Pay for their incompétence

[Constitutionalist]

Why are they wiping the bags of chips, hope they don’t plan to sell them.

[thecurioustempest]

Tell them to use it from the funds they take as subsidy from the rest of Canada. They are the province that takes the most after all.

This is awful. I hope insurance will save the day
