It's not enough that once-Liberal Toronto has taken a turn for the right politically with federal politics and a (
crackhead) mayor
worthy of Texas, it now has to deal with floods strangely reminiscent of
the ones in Calgary a couple of weeks ago:

Some Torontonians have been
stuck inside the downtown subway system since Monday night.
A GO train is also partially submerged on the Richmond Hill line that
left Union around rush hour. The murky brown water, which spilled
through the bottom floor of the train has left passengers stuck for (...) hours.(...) All flights at Billy Bishop Airport have now been suspended due to the
storm, according to Pamela McDonald, spokeswoman for the Toronto Port
Authority.(...) Toronto EMS are recommending people do not travel if they can as cars
are creating obstacles for paramedics. They also said they have received
a large number of people stuck in elevators. (...) The Toronto Region Conservation Authority also warned that the banks of
the Don River were at risk of collapse in the area of Hoggs Hollow in
the area of Yonge St. and York Mills.
Shit, it's like a cross between a natural disaster in a third-world country in the 1960s with the information age and a million levels of bureaucracy/government agencies. At least Canada's version of FEMA won't
stall for days with their rescue mission.
Good luck to all concerned.
