- On tonight’s top story: Canada’s largest city was hit by a torrential downpour on Tuesday. The intense storm dumped so much rain on Toronto, it turned highways and streets into rivers, snarling traffic and knocking out power to multiple neighbourhoods - including the city's downtown core.
Former U.S. president Donald Trump announced Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance as his running mate Monday, as the Republican National Convention (RNC) opened in Milwaukee. Vance was once a fierce critic of Trump but recent demonstrations of loyalty have scored him the ticket. Jackson Proskow has more on Trump’s pick for vice president.
Plus, days after the attempt on Trump’s life, concerns over politicians' safety in Canada are being raised as well. Mercedes Stephenson reports on the RCMP’s struggle to bolster the ranks of officers tasked with protecting them.
There are renewed calls for a complete overhaul of British Columbia’s foster system, following a devastating report into the death of an 11-year-old Indigenous boy in 2021. The details into his death are disturbing, but investigators say they must be shared. Neetu Garcha explains.
Canada’s Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland is facing tough questions about her political future. Anonymous sources quoted by the Globe and Mail suggest there is tension between the Prime Minister’s Office and Freeland over her performance and handling of the economic file. Mackenzie Gray reports.
And, Health care was front and centre on day two of the premiers’ annual meeting in Halifax. There is intense frustration over the state of the health-care system. And as Heidi Petracek explains, people are demanding their leaders find solutions.

I was born in Toronto and never in my life have we ever had floods this is so weird.
Weird is right. Not "normal".
Yeah those climate and arson clowns call it summer when the heat breaks records and when it snows a few metres they say winter. When it rains like this they can’t say anything other than blame someone. If it’s not federal they go down the line. Not saying they’re ain’t corruption. Just saying they blame and don’t acknowledge the weather extremes are coming faster and more frequent. Our insurance goes up and adds to the prices which are already too high. Tariffs don’t help
Almost as if the global climate change we've been warned about by scientists our entire lives is in effect.
Opinion deleted
@@milesharbord9339so now moisture and the cooler weather it brings is bad??
The torture that little boy went through is disgusting, how could the Children's Aid allow this to happen. Are they protecting children or are they in it for just money?
Common tale. The social workers don't look too closely because they're afraid of "oppressing" them.
I’ve experienced children’s aid and they are useless they do not help the children / useless govt dept
Freeland = incompetence
Protecting politicians? - It does say something…😂
As a Torontonian, I strongly question the leadership of this city in managing urgent incidents such as this one. This is not a sudden change in the weather butr has already been forcasted. Someone (many) should be held accountable.
Toronto is a growing city it’s a hub for immigrants . And politicians can’t keep up with growing populations fixing issues what’s important. All I hear on the news only millions here million there the roads in Toronto is a MESS .
My dad was There.
Big rain means bigger rain taxes. Imagine losing half your stuff to flooding and then face a $4000 tax from Chow for the rain.
I have a room for rent in Vancouver. The rent is high because my landlord demands a high rent. I have had mostly renters from foreign countries, non Canadian citizens, who have figured out how to tap into our Medicare system for medical treatment (cancer treatment in one case) and had the Canadian government subsidize their rent. One guy got treatment here, moved back to his country once cured and then came back when the cancer came back. He stayed at my house for approximately 6 months before he died. Then his family had the nerve to ask me for a donation so that they could bring his body back….. Is that news worthy???
I on the other hand have a 2 year wait for knees while I try to figure out how to work and pay taxes to my ever hungry government.

Toooooo. many immigrants to Canada from countries where cheating and lying is the norm . Also typically Eastern sons are not raised to be working citizens . Look at the car theft arrests and their faces tell a story of Federal ignorance when it comes to vetting .
Share your story with all media outlets. I'm sick of these people scamming Canada.
I'm from an immigrant family myself, but we came here through the proper channels 20 years ago and have paid so much taxes into the system only for some scammers to kick us out of it.
Definitely share it.
@@FLee-vy9bt that story dosent align with thier politics! they would rather hide it , then report on it!!!
If the government avoided overspending, excessive taxation, and exploiting Canadians financially, there would likely be greater harmony among us. However, in today's era of social media, it's increasingly difficult to conceal past scandals that were once easier to cover up.
What are you talking about?
I like you, you talk like the world is a fair place.
Really? Krista Freeland is a sitting member of the WEF .Isn't that a conflict of interest?
The rcmp doesn't need to protect trudeau they need to investigate him 😂
😀😀😀😁😁😁😅😅😅
He’s not native so they won’t bother him 😂
I was involved with Childrens Aid, we took custody of a family member. The Children's Aid failed all of us. Incompetence.
They must have had more pilots in the sky than usual...
Yo dude why stopped it from raining in Kamloops tonight with planes edging the clouds at 8pm
They stopped*
Olivia Chow useless as always - RESIGN
Mayor only want rain tax but did nothing for actual rain fall😂😂😂
6:00 there is no need for Canada to turn into the US. Canada, please keep your identity. Enough of playing second fiddle to the US.
I blame Trudeau either way
Everything is Trudeau’s fault 👌
As you should
maybe mayor chow can name the rain storm. and then.... we can rename it again in ten years. something non sensical and woke.
Yeah ... the rain tax is a lie😂
It did nothing
The major scam we have here in NZ with our politicians....is the massive waste of tax payer money from 'so called' budgeted requirements...I look at the job vacancies especially in the management field for the city of Auckland....There are over 60% of the management jobs unfilled all above the $150k mark....unfilled, and unpaid, yet the city budget takes these salaries into account...and every year councillors come back to the Ratepayer for more and more money...what happens to these unpaid salaries?......this is the kind of wilful mismanagement of Taxpayer dollars that puts all of our services in jeopardy....They are so busy scamming the Taxpayers, they loose track of what they are supposed to be doing....providing goods and services to the taxpayers...not looking after themselves....
Try my native populist Mexico, it's even worse!
Here in Canada there are TOO MANY government employees10 doing what one can do, with fat retirement plans, and giving our money to foreign governments
Thank you to rescue workers and city workers in Toronto
Appointing Freeland as the finance minister is just another agonizing example of JT's short sighted leadership
Complete lack of leadership and ability.
Our Canadian " FREE HEALTHCARE" is not sustainable, now FREE DENTAL CARE added to that. new immigrants and their GRANDPARENTS get afree Healthcare coverage when they havent contributed to the system yet, just look at the Emergency lineups in the Hospitals, count the elderly immigrants there, some can't even utter a word of English.
Olivia chow always screwing things up 😂
I thought our carbon tax was supposed to stop flooding? What the hell?
It will take time to reverse the effects of climate change.
Stop calling him "President Trump"!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember, there's a water shortage, and restrictions are coming.
Shhhh! Don’t talk about the benefits rain brings.
Sending my prayers
it happens several time a year in Montreal. The city is building sponges parks to absorbe the extra water ... Montreal is l'ai the greenest with more than 6,000 hectares of park on the island . More than 5 times of Stanley park
TRUMP 2024
TRUMP FOR FREEDOM

Wow poor Toronto I can't believe that they go a flood already I hope peoples survive that 😥😰
My city 😢😢😢
Sheesh, we're working from home for two weeks due to renovations, it appears they chose the right time. Good grief, I've never seen anything like this in my city of Toronto!!
It is not a river,it is a ocean!!!!
it is not rain-- it is liberal tears
@RICKYWALDNER 😂😂👍👍
Hahahaha! Yes!
Climate change is about extreme weather events happening more often than usual. It's not necessary to believe everything that climate change activists say because they tend to exaggerate in the same way that climate change deniers do. That doesn't mean that we should not make an effort to look after the planet in reasonable ways. There is plenty of middle ground between climate apocalypse and climate change.
The properties lost to floods and fires have to be rebuilt. Some insurance companies in the United States are not renewing homeowner policies in riskier areas. Since we're going to pay a price, wouldn't it make more sense to spend that money on mitigating climate change instead? Even if you don't directly suffer from the storms, you will notice the increase in food prices.
@@darlene2709 the climate is continuously changing. Again, Canada could cease to exist and nothing would change

Thank you for not leading with "climate ...."
Yes let’s hide under our blankets and pretend all is well.
Muh global warmin'.
@@4leafclover243think of the benefits of all this rain.
@4leafclover243 rather do that than pretend like doomsday clock is at 11:59. Lol

Here in vancouver weve had no rain for weeks
I remember being in Foster care and being able to count my Corn Pops in my bowel every morning.
20-24 daily, with nothing else.
Also Wilma didn't care that I was lactose intolerant.
Her daughter would big spoon me at night 😢
I was 9, now 38.
The system needs an overhaul
Rain Tax 😂 did nothing... should be renamed as greedy Chow tax and Carbon tax should be named as Greedy Trudeau Tax
A warming world means more moisture in the atmosphere. For every 1 C of warming there's 7% more moisture in the atmosphere. Atmospheric moisture has increased since 1976 and the increase is directly related to human-caused climate change. The implications of too much fossil fuel CO2 emissions in the atmosphere are profound and far-reaching for everyone! One of the biggest impacts has been the disruption of what scientists refer to as "hydrologic stationarity." Hydrologic stationarity refers to the relative stability of the hydrologic system, the stable system which we've built our entire world civilization on. Climate change (caused by too much fossil fuel CO2 emissions in the atmosphere) has meant a loss of hydrologic stationarity.
Let that sink in everyone!
@@garyhaggquist740 man made climate change is liberal way to tax you even more and get nothing in return. climate has always changed before man was a thing! these scientists are payed very well by liberal governments to falsify statistics. they know which side their bread is buttered on!!!!LOL!!!!!

@@darlene2709 fact is we only hear one side of the story from legacy media on the news because climate change " has been settled" so they say. in the 70s it was global cooling then it was global warming, then it was climate change and now its climate emergancy! all liberal buzz words designed to envoke fear on the public and mandate electic cars which cost more and do less!!!!! this is garbage science!!!!!
RIP little man 😢 that’s really sad.
“…colonial violence…?” Was she referring to indoor plumbing, central heating, the harnessing of electricity, transportation, farming, medicine, education, etc…?
President Trump? Should be former president trump. We know what makes these media companies makes the most money.
SHAME ON THE POLITICANS!! THIS FLOODING HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TOO LONG !! GET THIS SITUATION CORRECTED !! WHO THE HECK WAS THE ENGINEERING FIRM ?? GOOD ENGINEERS PLAN FOR FLOODING !
And Olivia Chow add a rain tax 😅 it did nothing at all but grow her pocket
You can’t stop the force of Mother Nature rain has been falling for millions of years so that water has to go somewhere,what are you peoples you think money and man can fix everything oh I forgot there are a lots of woketivist in this world 😂
Tokyo built a huge underground cavern to hold floodwater. It cost a fortune.
@@anitacho9023 She just narrowly escaped from paying the head tax in the 1960's !
@@anitacho9023 Rain tax ??? Only in China maybe !
So glad I had that day off… didn’t even know it was that bad till I saw it on the news 😳
Here in Calgary, the ASWMS has extinguished every one of our thunderstorms this summer. I wonder where they went..
When you create heat domes in BC......the rain has to go somewhere.
How about all kids ???
My dad was There in Toronto.😢
its ok for politicians to protect themselves in Canada but we cant protect our homes...
Yeah defending dictators is always tough
Did the roof collapse on the science center
Doug Ford lives upstairs or what?
No, the greenbelt deal collapsed.

Water came through my basement window this morning. I’m still cleaning up. 🙄

DO YOU POLITICIANS AND CITIZENS REMEMBER WHEN MISSISSAUGA MAYOR HAZEL MCCALLION ADVISED WAS THEY SHOULD FOCUS AND FIXED TORONTO INFRASTRUCTURE BECAUSE THEY ARE OLD AND UNSAFE.? PREMIER FORD DOESN'T LISTEN TO CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK FROM MAYOR MAYOR MCCALLION AND PEOPLE WHO SEE AND LOVE THE CITIZENS OF CANADA THEY ARE TO MAKE SURE OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS WORKING PROPERLY TO KEEP US SAFE.
Umbrella sales in Toronto went through the roof Tuesday…Unprecedented numbers…
oh my gosh.
Freeland needs to get going, and the sooner the better.
Crumbling infrastructures 😂😂😂😂
That ain't no flood from rain, it's liberal tears!

Everyone laughs at lifted trucks until it really rains.. Then they all are asking for help

The red Ferrari guy stayed home this time?😂
Maybe there's too many lies and empty promises that people are taking to anger
Surprise you built on top of the lake with fake land. And you wonder why it floods.
My dad was There😢
There's an undeclared competition going on between Cambodia, Canada, India, and Pakistan as to who is more Third World.
Hey what’s the big deal it’s just that lovely lady Mother Nature reminding Doug ford and Olivia chow and the rest of us Torontonians who his the real boss,hey count your blessing it could be much worse
Considering she sat on a board for the century initiative, I wouldn’t say Freeland has the best interest of any Canadian, besides those at the helm of corporations.
So no other southern Ontario cities were affected?
Just one big cloud over Toronto?
Or could it be that self-important opinion that Toronto has of itself?
somehow queen street east was totally fine, felt like a normal day after the rain, i had no clue the rest of the city got swamped until my brother called asking if i was ok
😅 and the rain tax should be renamed as greedy tax
Horey morey i cant see nothing
Was this a lack of maintenance of Storm Drains or do they just need to bolster up the barriers or dig out the river to make it deeper? They all need to have a Class Action Suit for all the damages that have ensued. Have they been asleep with the maintenance? If so they need a real Wake Up call.
I had no idea it was this baf
Even rare species are washing ashore? That’s alarming
lmao 2:15 this guy's the most Canadian build I've ever seen
Can we also blame immigrants for that flood too? Because I have seen privileged class blaming immigrants and POCs for any issues in Canada is openly practised every now and then.
Olivia Chow screwed up big time. No adequate amount of emergency services
I cant even eat my cookies and milk when Trudeau is talking.....it makes me sick......can we reschedule the news....please
😂 beards can change everything to a man.
Nobody wants to work for such a corrupt service. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Did we even see these goons when Calgary flooded?????
So who's arrested for the little boys death?! I didn't hear anything about that
oh well its just rain
. bad infrastructures bad storms sewer 😊
Too sloped Ollie lol
Damn kendrick.
Jtf2 primary responsibility is protecting the prime minister
Cloud seeding by government
Fact check: False claim ‘chemtrails’ and HAARP are used to manipulate the weather. Scientists and pilots confirm there is no evidence that planes are spraying harmful chemicals into the atmosphere. Researchers at the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program, also known as HAARP, say the technology does not have the ability to manipulate the weather. And meteorologists and climate scientists say large-scale weather events cannot be artificially created." USA Today
I wonder if the map shows it's still on fire there now?😅
So called "Developed Country"
Damned sea level rise!
The Don River has flooded that major roadway in heavy rains for years. Why hasn’t channel been deepened, or widened, and a dike built on the roadway side ?
No, urgency or accountability for GTA drivers.
What's happening across the world is alarming! And it's not normal. But people are still not paying attentions and praying for God's mercy to falls through for humanity, because they are so preoccupied in the sphere of life. Then, they put God in their storage rooms somewhere. But there will be darker days ahead of us until we take the necessary steps to repent and turn our lives around to make it right with the most high God. 😔 ❤
Stop seeding the clouds!
Idk underpasses flood few times a year in my hometown. Always have 🤷🏻♀️
Move to higher ground because this is now the norm….
bc social workers are horrendous at best
Why The indian weather in Toronto ?
soooo..... is toronto calling in the navy?
Biggest oxymoron in the world, Female Secret Service Director. LOL. It was too sloped, except that other ones were on more sloped places, lol.
