He said checked, not replaced. Since it was only one type of pipe made during a certain era that was poorer quality where they used thinner metal bands than what should have been used. They would only need to check if they have any of that specific pipe. So not as big of a task as one would think

Because Pierre Trudeau changed all that at a huge cost to Canadians , all the highway signs and companies had to change all the labels, we should be the same as the United States, not Europe.
this flooding is a tad closer to where the mayor lives, perhaps that's why she's out today, unlike last Friday's catastrophic flooding when it took her until Wednesday to show her face
Firefighters were busy shutting off power to the flooded areas. Obviously there was never going to be any way to shut off the water so don't even bother asking why such a thing should be possible.
I think the answer is bigger government and larger bureaucracies overseeing every facet of our lives, whilst increasing our taxes ad infinitum to support their annual salaries for all the hard work they do for us. Also the banking system & multi-national corporations should embed themselves even further into our systems of governance. Then we can find out everything that is going on in our society through our objective media platforms that aren't subservient to any of these power levers. This type of system will result in a highly effective governing body helping foster innovation and the human "can-do" spirit. 👍
As for unit of measure, you could go with barrels instead of gallons, but if you do go with either, please don't prefix it with "Hundreds of". "Millions of gallons", sure.
Another water mail break funny. They are doing this on purpose people. They are over pressuring th system on purpose. The new mains going in can limit water. Wake up.
First Calgary, then Toronto, and now Montreal. Huh, almost as if there were billions of dollars that are needed for major infrastructure being sent overseas...
'hundreds of gallons'. Boy, did this newscaster get stuck in a timewarp since 1980? Or is this newscast aimed at the USA? "thousands of litres" is how Canadians under age 60 talk nowadays.....
@@mathu6514 Except that there are industry standards. We use volts and kilovolts, not hectovolts, grams and milligrams, not centigrams, and so the standard for liquids is millilitres, litres, and hectolitres. Nobody in industry uses megalitres.
It sucks so bad fot the people who paid insane taxes for decades, get their property destroyed, because public workers who are paid well over 100k$ per year to check the system....... did not check it. They don t care at all, nobody will lost his job. The city will even raise the taxes,
Well they've been saying for a while now that these pipes are nearing the end of their lifecycle. It's gonna be an expensive future all across the country.....
First Calgary and now Montreal. I think all water mains across Canada must be checked right away.
That would cost cities 100's of millions of dollars. You can't just tear up roads in every major city for no reason. Have you worked a day in a utility company in your life?
Outdated infrastructure just like the US we are going down the tube.

It's due for TO !
Toro has its own problems right now. It ain’t a water problem.
Another world class disaster caused by monumental incompetence. We can do it!
It’s fine…this is not important, according to your mayor, we need to spend more on bike paths.
...and 1 billion on the Olympic stadium
And language police
They playing the same game as Calgary … hummmm!
Are you suggesting these are “make work” projects? Industrial Sabotage?
wonder if San Diego will bail out Montreal, with a new pipe?
At least it happened in summer not winter.
No money for infrastructure just for special interest groups.
especially immigration ngo's maybe if we get millions more africans we can build africa i heard it was so much better than what Europeans could ever build.
Why is “Huge” in quotation marks? It’s either huge or it’s not.
The correct word in quotation should have been "Geyser".
Montréal's new summer tourist attraction.
If only they used all that tax money for infrastructure instead of lining their own pockets.
If only you stopped voting Corporate Hacks who support Apartheid
Suspicious
Yes, it was 100% the immigrants fault.
can't blame the weather on this one. Fix the water and sewage systems! The infrastructure is old and decrepit
No money for infrastructure ask Trudeau how Budgets balance themselves work
costs are extremely high, and people don't like paying taxes for some reason
@@ianism3 We pay a lot of taxes for public art, free money for special interest groups and no money for infrastructure and you wonder why people do not like to pay taxes.
Thank god we’ve got the language police to help during these crises. So what if the city infrastructure is collapsing.

That's a LOT of water! An 80 inch pipe is almost seven feet wide.
Its actually 84 inches so its 7 feet.
@@robertrobitaille320 Thanks for the correction. (I thought I heard 80 in the video, but I wrote from memory).
I think we'll see a lot more incidents like this as our aging infrastructures begin to fail.
Sadly this is a safe prediction. Neglected maintenance is one of the consequences of austerity.
don't worry we have millions of africans who will come save the day and build us mudhuts.
Yeah and all that money sent to Ukraine as well !
@@nickv.5748 Just how much money and military aid did the City of Montreal send to Ukraine?
@@bobby5678-ck2tcaverage racist, ever actually been to Africa?
Come on!!!!!! Calgary first now Montreal?????? Sounds pretty suspicious 🤨 that the situations are identical!!
There was flooding rain first in Montreal.
Because its scripted to mindprogram the people with no water
Not suspicious
Predicted for years by plenty of civil engineers due to aging infastructure
From what i remember at university it's projected to cost Canada 2 trillion dollars to repair, rebuild, and replace the aging infastructure.
My comment is gone whahaha, so I told the truth! Screwtube
@@TheAircool1 That projected cost is due to corrupt contractual systems right?
Hundreds of gallons eh?
and they ask us to conserve water what a waste of water
Who will fix this? Governments are like the mythical "flying Spaghetti monster" who's ever there when we search or pray.
Well, that's not good. *sigh* Hope everyone's okay and it can be repaired quickly so everyone can get back to being enslaved and fearing MPOX instead.
What is constipation called in Québec?

Yeah, man, so surprising that old infrastructure sometimes fails.
@@ttonAb2 or its sabatoged. 👀
@Armour-of-God. yeah I'm sure people are sending magnetic shock waves to sabotage these big pipes buried deep underground.
Don't forget Edmonton had a pump breakdown and took them weeks to fix....
Correct
it has been Predicted for years by plenty of civil engineers due to aging infrastructure
From what i remember at university it's projected to cost Canada 2 trillion dollars to repair, rebuild, and replace the aging infastructure.
Lol!! Hundreds of gallons? How about hundreds of thousands of gallons!
No worries they’ll just take more taxes from other provinces to build them a new city
I hope that no bicycle tracks were damaged.
The city had to shut Five giant valves in a special specific order -
2 - deux
3 - trois
5 - cinq
1 - un
4 - quatre
Where are the language police?! it's Liters in Canada, not Gallons
and they said hundreds of gallons, jacuzzies are hundreds of gallons, this will be in the millions.
Because Pierre Trudeau changed all that at a huge cost to Canadians , all the highway signs and companies had to change all the labels, we should be the same as the United States, not Europe.
Still crying because Québec dare to protect his language?
migrants put up in hotels why residents get shelters🤐
Our beautiful city is falling down 😢
Surely the grandiose island-of-geniuses and its moral high-ground to tell the entire province what to think can deal with damaged infrastructure?
this flooding is a tad closer to where the mayor lives, perhaps that's why she's out today, unlike last Friday's catastrophic flooding when it took her until Wednesday to show her face
Water mains are bursting in almost every city.....it happened in Ottawa, Calgary, Montreal and many others!!!
Holy smokes that is so much water so high in the air they must’ve purchased the same pipes that Calgary did😢😢
Yeah. That’s not coincidence.
Not again! Man how long does it take to turn those things off.
It's pretty bad when temporary shelters have to be used for local residents. That's only because the hotels are full of immigrants
Congratulations!! You win the Xenophobia Award for trying to link this to immigrants.
??? Where did you get this information 😂
I knew my kayak would save me one day 😂
It's raining like TAX and DOLLARS
Cats and dogs: Are we a joke to you?
I was worried that Russian insurgents could cause chaos in Canada but it looks like we can do it to ourselves without them.
We just need to send more money to Ukraine,that will fix the problem for Canadian infrastructure !
Firefighters were busy shutting off power to the flooded areas. Obviously there was never going to be any way to shut off the water so don't even bother asking why such a thing should be possible.
Can homeowners seek compensation from the City if they have no insurance?
Call Alberta city crews for assistance

Hundreds of gallons? Try millions... instructions must have been in English🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had dream last night that Vancouver would have a flash flood
A similar incident with less gravity occurred in July 2023 in the St-Michel neighborhood. (RUclips keeps on deleting this comment)
What a mess!!! Poor people !! Thank God did not happen in winter!!
It is high time to raise taxes. Canadians must pay additional to have functional infrastructure
When it rains. It pours buckets
Gallons!? My gosh the US influence is getting too much for me 😄 Hope everyone is alright
With all the water line breaks in this country this year it is starting to look planned!
So first Calgary now Montreal? I hope everyone starts to see a pattern here and realize this is on purpose.
It’s all Trudeau’s fault
Toronto next
Trudeau's Fault
Are these people gonna be okay for speaking English in public??
Oh jeeze
Where did they not shut the valves off. Or shut the pumps off. , at the plant
😂😂😂its just water
well, at least Montreal doesn't have a woke mayor like Calgary
Well they've been saying for a while now that these pipes are nearing the end of their lifecycle.
It's gonna be an expensive future all across the country.....
I blame it on climate change
Was waiting for Liberal paid Global,CTV or CBC to blame either Climate Change , Pierre Poilievre,Putin or Trump for this. 🤣
Hundreds of gallons 😂
no worries. It will be repaired.... never, like in Calgary.
Wonder if that construction crew sliced into the water main with one of their excavators?
When you ask too much from the infrastructure and don't maintain it or add to it, well, you see the results.
Hugs prayers ❤️ 🙏 ❤
Please can you switch to metric/ after 40 years! Love those yellow jackets!
10 billion to ukraine should fix this
Another thing broken in Montreal. Construction for years to come. 🚧🚧🚧
Someone did it.
Hmmm I think JT is really working on that climate change!
Where's our coward of a premier?!?!? Week after week there's a natural disaster in Montreal and yet again he's nowhere to be seen.
This is an English leak, not French, so no need of Quebec dollars or French premiers!
this will cost so mutch to the city 💀
Imagine the lawsuits.. lol
Oh not planned though just happening all over canada ya ok
