Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he believes climate change is among the reasons eastern Ontario homeowners are trying to save their homes from flooding for the second time in three years.
In Quebec, officials said Thursday 3,148 homes are already underwater and another 2,305 are surrounded by it, with 1,111 people out of their residences. In New Brunswick, 84 roads are closed because of flooding, including a portion of the TransCanada Highway. There are also flood warnings in several other areas of Ontario, including cottage country near Bracebridge, Ont., where lakes are going over their banks.While touring flooded areas of Gatineau, Que., earlier this week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said communities across Canada have to be prepared for the impact of climate change, needing to adapt and mitigate knowing floods like this are happening more often.
Oh man Doug's followers won't like that.
He also cancelled funding for flood and fire response.
Ford is losing it. Try a sudden spring thaw after a winter of heavy snowfall. This is turning into a government for the stupid. We are much smarter. onpoli
I’m thinking the flooding is related to the ongoing building of residences in flood prone areas. This has been the constant story every year since a house was built in flood areas...
Didn't he just cancel funding for planting trees?
He also links money for flood recovery to “government waste”
What a hypocrite!
