Looks like a drainage issue rather than a "rain" issue. Decarie has flooded many times in the past. Poor infrastructure management.

Perfect opportunity for the propagandists to spin this as a "heavy rain" issue instead of a "infrastructure issue"

Yo shove a orange cone there & pay your workers to sit down and smoke their cigarettes next to the cones

Take your bike Plante didn’t spend millions on bike lane for nothing.

If you're going to build u-shaped roads. Pooling of water is inevitable in heavy rain. And it's not exactly uncommon. So logically you'd need to build big drainage system to handle it and keep it clear.
This shouldn't have happened. This wasn't even an extreme event of rain.

How many decades have you been hiring engineers not educated in English?

Every year early July we get these down pores no surprises. Look it up! Ps what happened to Mitsumi ? Seems she is having a Biden moment.

So it's like closing the highway for an accident where we have to wait for towing and Police to clear the road.

That happened in toronto once, flooding that closed roads for awhile.

They will blame Alberta for this like always.

I can't believe this was the top story of the news...

So all the money that was spent on the decaire with the flood did absolutely nothing, engineering at its best. 👍👍
