Flood,Canada: Thousands of Canadians across the country spent the weekend in a desperate struggle with rising floodwaters caused by unusually persistent rainfall. Nearly 1,900 homes have been flooded in 126 municipalities in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario.
On Sunday, Montreal became the latest city in Quebec to declare a state of emergency after three dikes gave way in the Pierrefonds-Roxboro borough, in the north end of the city by the Rivieres des Prairies. Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre said homes have been evacuated in that borough as well as on two nearby islands.
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said that the military response to flooding in Quebec is likely to balloon.
"At the moment, since yesterday, there are 450 Canadian forces personnel on the ground in various locations across Quebec," Goodale told CTV's "Question Period" on Sunday.
"We have over 100 firemen who are working 24 hours a day, visiting door to door and making some evacuations," he said.
West of Montreal, the small town of Rigaud issued a mandatory evacuation order Sunday and a state of emergency has been in place for several days.
In Gatineau, Que., near the border with Ontario, 380 residences were evacuated and officials want to evacuate another 900 homes Sunday.
The situation in Ontario seems to be "generally stabilizing," although there are many unstable local circumstances, he said.
In Atlantic Canada, some parts of New Brunswick recorded more than 150 millimetres of rain after a nearly 36 hour non-stop downpour.
