Toronto’s Union Station shut down due to massive flood of rainwater and possibly sewage
A flood of rainwater and sewage shut down Toronto’s Union Station Friday afternoon, closing the key transit hub for hours and ensuring a nightmare afternoon commute.

TTC Chair Andy Byford was among the first to see the flood.

“I was on a train heading south to Union Station. I looked out the window and you could see water pouring onto the platform.”

He is not optimistic that Union will be useable for the afternoon commute.

“We are in the middle of a massive cleanup of the foul water,” said Mr. Byford. “I cannot see how this station could possible reopen for rush hour.”

The floodwater is “a cross between water and sewage,” confirmed Toronto Fire spokesman Adrian Ratushniak. (Photos: First three photos by Alana McCarthy; fourth Aron Vincent Elkaim/Canadian Press)

A nice Canadian summer sight, but worrying when you need to run past. I thought they’d go nuts protecting the goslings.

Not an achievement

For the same effort and expense these 32 people could have travelled through every country in North and South America, Europe etc…

lachrimaestro: We signed up with a local organic farming cooperative and our today was the first day for produce. I’m really excited about this! So many different veggies! You never know what it will contain and I like surprises. Rhubarb!!! Sweet potatoes! A tiny bag of mushrooms! (Psilocybin jokes have already been made but go ahead anyway.) Now I have to figure out what to do with so much cilantro. This reminds me, for anyone close to downtown Toronto, FutureWatch (.net) have a program called ‘Rooted In Neighbourhoods’ you can join where you can receive a weekly fruit and veg box for a year.People looking for weekly organic fresh fruit and veg or that have room to donate growing space in their gardens get in touch!
