Water levels, already quite high, are expected to rise sharply with warm temperatures, snowmelt runoff and the heavy rainfall forecast through Saturday.
Public safety officials say minor flooding has already occurred in the Montreal area, as well as the Outaouais, the Eastern Townships and central Quebec. Earlier this week, the Chaudiere River burst its banks, flooding a large part of Beauceville, south of Quebec City. Officials there called it the worst flooding since 1971.
Thomas Blanchet, a spokesman for the province's public safety department, says they want residents to be ready for flooding that could come quickly this weekend, and are imploring them to follow the instructions of local officials. Blanchet says while there are no official evacuation orders currently in the province, some municipalities have issued preventative orders.
Climate change? Wtf This has happened before and they never use that word before is this the new normal or new lie for liberals to get votes and taxed?
The flooding cleans the rivers of raw sewerage that is now more popular in Quebec than Maple Syrup
How can any ligitimate news organization state “climate change”? Flooding has been occurring for a long time and now it’s due to climate change? What a scare mongering world we live in!
Climate change = FakeNews
It just Quebec who cares lol
Blame Everything on climate change. Nice strategy. Won't work though. Sadly canadians are smarter then their govt gives them credit for
It's called spring.
Queberecers don't think, that's why they endorse climate change. They already get 13 billion in Federal welfare, no Federal help. Sink or swim, assholes.
Seems Quebecers are the only ones stupid enough to buy the climate scam
But bye there is a carbon tax......how is this possible
I’m helping pay for additional help they’ll get with my share of equalization.
Not climate change. Flooding has been happening for over 50 years
I have no sympathy for people or towns that build on flood plains. It has nothing to do with climate change. It has everything to do with snow melt, rain and how the ice brakes up in the river. There should be no surprises.
The flood is just your imagination theres no climate change i dont see anything out of the norm here.
Are you sure this is a result of climate change and not an act of God in response to the Quebec government’s ban on religion?
All the sewage spewed into the st. Lawrence will come back to haunt them
Not sure how climate change fits into flooding. It snows in Quebec every winter and in the spring the snow melts... then it rains in April every year and the water in rivers rise.... sounds like science and nature, not Climate change! But let’s tax it anyways. 🤡
Climate change isn't mentioned once in the article Just by the manipulative low life who wrote the headline
Do Federal or Provincial governments (Tax Payers) Bail them out ? (No pun intended) each time it floods ? Do Quebec homeowners purchase insurance?
...because building homes on a flood plane is too much to wrap your heads around...idiots Common sense is hard
What about their affinity with sewage dumping into The St. Lawerence?
it almost like flooding happens and just seems like it is getting worse because we know the weather from all over the world so it looks like it is happening more frequently
Seriously ? What did they think would happen when you build in flood zones ? 🤔
Haha. Not once is 'climate change' mentioned in the article, only 'its warm'. Pathetic.
Yeah right ctv like they've never flooded before.
