The secrets of Canada's tap water, explained 

Raunak Thakur More like 2019: We’re improving our standard of living brought on from the 50s

Raunak, yes there are many things like that. For example, we can fly to the moon yet almost nobody will create a woman's digital watch that does everything a man's does or that has a good expansion strap other than cheap plastic.

Jihadi justine is in charge what do you expect he paid out a few mill to a known terrorist then told the vets they didn't have any money for them he imported nothing but muslims to come in while not helping the homeless or homeless vets you think this traitor cares about canadians or his own pockets he even gave this trash news station money to stfu during the election. If thats not a traitor to canadians I don't know what is.

You should edit your comment and say "50s" while you still can. Where about to be living in the 20s "back in my day"

1950: Lead in everything!!! 2019: wait no

Jason St-Coeur excellent. Please provide link to results of _their_ report then. Thank you

I have been working construction for years. I have never seen a lead water pipe. I have seen ancient lead drain pipes. Lots of water pipes are asbestos and I see them all the time. I really doubt lead pipes were used

You pay taxes to fund clean water in other countries, not in Canada.

You pay taxes for Trudeau's vacations.

don't pay your taxes then

Thank you for paying taxes for this

jesus died for this

The rest of the story. The lead pipes and lead plumbing are only on homes built before 1961 and 1.6% of Canadian homes are affected. Have your water tested, you're probably OK, but if not then you can deal with the problem.

Or atleast sell better water filters

Infrastructure rather than military.

That’s would be kinda hard .. here in u U.S . Depending on where u in U.S and how u state and city 🌃 is run .. some Cities can afford replace the pipes .. others can’t..

@@mariadelgado4873 take the 100 billion extra trump put in for military and use for water pipes, that'll get a few major cities done. Lol

Like that will ever happen

Any thing we can do to spend money

Well wait for it. Surely some new tax or pipe retrofitting project to further loosen tax payer purse strings will come next, IMO! That's usually the way of it!

they have no choice the world will literally end if we dont work together and stop being scared of evil dictators who threaten us into hiding the truth

Taxes are fine. Investing in avoiding making our population stupider is a great idea.

We had our water tested as we drink a lot of water-and try to avoid too many plastic bottles in Landfill, Our tested good quality it didn't cost anything or maybe there is a small fee now. I mix fruit or Crystal light. Or the best water in Manitoba is fresh running artesian water off Lake Wpg. Just have to drive to Wpg beach area or Matlock--this Spring water runs in underwater streams!

with an attitude like that, you're damn right it won't

@@anthonylowney1395 in America we banned pipes with lead. But not in pipes over 3" on diameter, so we still get the lead. Also those are copper pipes with a very low percentage of lead.

But does your cooch need a smooch?

K Black take my name seriously damn it

iForgot MyName oh yeah how about you take a shot walk on a long pier... dough!

Tom Kelly is britta filters enough ?

Distill

Osmosis! Agree.

I use a countertop distiller.

I bought a Zero Water pitcher and filters. From research Zero Water filters are far more affective at removing lead than britta. Best I can afford to keep my kids drinking water safe here in Regina, Saskatchewan. Take care fellow canadians, have a safe winter.

Salts make things rust. how do you not know that? Wash your vehicle weekly

It's because water is naturally corrosive. Your truck rusted because water/moisture got to the metal, it has nothing to do with lead in the water. (road salt can aid corrosion, however)

Like where the shootings are happening in the GTA?

Its crazy man, what kind of drinking water have you guys been drinking lately?

Boiling water doesn't remove lead. Boiling water is not a thing done anywhere that doesn't have water regularly contaminated with pathogens.

Poodleinacan yeah what is that my water was sweet too

Times change, Man doesn't.

It's funny how Global thinks this is a big deal, this is least of our worries go find a real story and stop grabbing at strings to troll Ontarians

Canada needs Trump. HAIL TRUMP

@Alexander Chohan the truly scary thing is in cities like Toronto, Montreal and Quebec their water systems will never be upgraded.

Where are all the flying cars?

Isaiah Lancer Shh! You don’t wanna wake the herd...

same can be said about 9/11. jeffery epstien.. the war on drugs. its all done on purpose and you weren't suppose to find out. no one predicted the internet

There is already backlash of plastic roads. Who would have thought putting plastic wastes to good use is a terrible idea. You can't please these people.

Micro plastic

I going back to old school using bamboo☺

So whats the solution?

at the rate we're going more like 100 years from now : I can’t believe those idiots used lead for water pipes

Flouride is a level 4 corrosive toxin and should not be in tap water. They say it benefits oral health, but I find it odd that the government is so concerned about my oral health in such a way. Why don't the Liberals or Conservatives pay for my Dental care as well?

@@abatos1146 no doubt, especially in view of studies showing good dental health seems to effectively prevent poor overall health.

Lots. Estrogen water levels in Halifax, police brutality hid by propaganda, etc.

Abatos 11 you spelt fluoride wrong

Pick up the rug

HAHAHAHA 🤣

Underrated comment !!!

Sad but probably true

I was thinking same.. I know we have a water crisis in many towns and reserves. Toronto water is safe, with possible exception in older building. You should let the water run a bit as a practice before drinking in general.. Pipes do get old and you probably don't want sediments (metals /plastics /coating) , bugs, in the first little bit of water.

Absolutely

I haven't had that honour.

Seeing all this, I'm blessed to be born in India. Here the water from rivers is just filtered and UV sterilised. The pipe line is made of Galvanised Iron and brass. These pipes were laid as early as 1950s. Modern day pipe line still use G.I. and brass. The water's taste is sweet and doesn't taste like chemicals or metals. The only problem here is we don't save water as good as the westerners. We'll eventually do it.

@@cypher10297 dont you guys dump the dead into rivers and still drink from it? Bathe and poop there?

@@cypher10297 Your Sewage is basically your domestic..How is that better?? LOL

Srinath Sudharsan Bruh why the fck a water would be sweet? Bet you i bet your water taste horrible that they gotta put some sweetener in it to cover the taste

Obama There’s systems in place to keep the American infrastructure on the decline- mark my words: 5 years from now things are only going to get worse. Prepare! Prepare while you have the time! Something big is coming, I can see it.

@@StayPositiveLLC stay vigilant my friend, god bless.

@Jason St-Coeur okay boomer

@@StayPositiveLLC this isn't America.

@@SolemnGraceYT ok zoomer Jk idc what you were talking about

Disastrous tap water filled with nasty chemicals indeed. Bottled water that is in a container that is made of poison (chemicals in plastic are carcinogens) and the temperature increasing and decreasing ruin bottle water even before people buy it. You can blame this directly on corporations. Economy deception. Using key words and the important things people need to push corrupted mentality along the deceptive words aimed to plant fears into people so they buy into the tricks, instead of accept or pursue more positive answers. Meanwhile the free wild water rivers and oceans are exploited and chemicals dumped harming the planet and ironically everyone as time passes. If you think digging a hole on the same boat you are on to spite the people on the other part of it is intellectual, everyone with this mentality is part of the corruption and destruction problem, and worse, they are stupid and in denial to it.

There's environmentalism, then there's extremism. It's extremism that is hated@

Finally they addressed an actual problem. Good on them!

The students probably did a good job. Global (CNN North) "forgot" to mention that the only homes being affected are pre 1961,

Keep telling people that! When I try and ask some people what they think is in there, I usually hear something to the affect of: I been drinking this for years, I'm fine! They don't seem to comprehend accumulative effect.

Bottled water was also discovered to be contaminated with plastic in excess of safer levels of ppm. Im talking about the single use plastic bottles. Good luck with safe and clean water

@@shazam6926 wasn't plastic or micro plastics added to the food chain anyways? I would guess plastic is safer then lead. Not that I'm happy about that either.

Y not just a filter? Some brita filters say they reduce lead

FYI many bottled water companies simply bottle local tap water...

@@flightographist its mostly iron, if you combine it with gray sea salt you should be better off 👍

@@flightographist Pink Himalayan salt is pretty much the same as any other salt (google it) and doesn't provide anything more substantial compared to other mass produced sodium chloride salts.

Bobbius Shadow the natural salt helps our body absorb and keep the water (helps with hydration) but as for a source of minerals it’s negligible

Do you save the ro WASTE water ? Because its not actually WASTE

@41dirka that's true, thank you.

Don't forgot to pay 900, 000$ for a normal house that was 250, 000 a decade ago.

WildKatVixon yes, I distilled my water when there, I lived below hwy 9 on mount pleasant road. The sandy residue was dusty yellow stuff!

MagnetOnlyMotors right?! People think we’re exaggerating or lying altogether about how bad it is. It’s beyond stupid at this point. It’s inexcusable.

The incompetent and seditious government finally got caught , they knew , they always knew ..

Estrogen in cow's milk too - so ditch all dairy

@@carlystevenson950 I have sensitivities to dairy anyway 😖 There is organic cattle derived milk products though. It's just a little more expensive.

@@jozefbalzer yes but organic means pesticide free only. Estrogen is in cow's milk, goat's milk etc. because it's mammalian breastmilk just like humans produce.

There are estrogenic compounds in basically every foodstuff in the world. All plants contain estrogens. Meat contains estrogens. Dairy contains estrogens. There are estrogens naturally present in you, male or female. Dietary estrogens are not necessarily problematic in any regard. It depends, biology is complex. Don't be paranoid.

This is a governmental issue not an environmental one you clown

Mercury causes calcification of organs including the brain, and it is added to the water along fluoride. Because the sewer pipes seem more important to those running these corporations than the wellbeing of people. Osmosis machines are worth the investment and far more planet friendly as well as budget friendly than bottled water.

There is a reserve where they purify there own water and transport it through water trucks to the houses, but alot of times it takes awhile to get the water around so people are constantly waiting and waiting

Terrible chief funding and "owned indigenous self governing" where not to share with its people

Well you gotta cut something.... Ontario was circling the drain with regards to the debt....You have previous leaders to thank for that!

Well shut, first comes education cuts now this

@@savydude1 Unfortunately, Doug Ford has increased the provincial deficit while cutting services. Due to his tax break to the wealthy.

@@savydude1 you must be kidding, right?

Whaaaaat

Which is made with- nevermind. Keep dreamin' "The American Dream"!

@Mike M you really think that I was serious?

Typically it's from the curb stop valve, which is the underground valve usually located at the property line.

@@SP-ez4lk is that in Canada? Because for a fact I've had two lines replaced from the curb to the meter in upstate NY and the water officer flat told me it was the town's responsibility. I never paid a penny other than the usual bill.

@@danmslacker6782 Yes, that is under Canadian law.

@@mikesmith6469 thanks.

Public water = municipal taxes. Hone owners end up paying both sections of pipe. One "on credit" and the other up front.

If I gave you two glasses of water, and told you one was definitely poisonous, but we think the other is probably safe, but we're not 100% sure, how long before you started gulping down the second glass? Probably not very long.

@@seigeengine I wouldn't drink neither.of the two, as I do not drink tap water. However you can have it.

@@p123a6 Then you would die. Not drinking tap water doesn't ensure you aren't drinking poison. Rain water is contaminated by plenty of things. Well water can be as well. Plenty of chemicals migrate just fine through groundwater.

@@seigeengine No I wouldnt die for the reason you gave me two tap water options based on the remarks in my initial post. I do not drink tap water as there are other sources to get my water.

I'm pretty sure the greed of bottling factories is less compliant or par with the cities. Further this adds more plastics to your daily water source. I haven't heard of many people with lead poisoning in Canada. However I have heard a lot of Alzheimer's especially in Ontario. So maybe we should be more concerned about aluminum. Bretta filters were tested and have high traces of aluminum most people are also too cheap to change their filter frequently and will eventually get the build up of toxins anyways. Lots of lazy plumbers still use brass fittings, copper pipe and lead solder. We have new brass fittings in our home and they all say contain traces above California's lead limit(on the packaging because of California's strict regulations).

Water from water bottles also may come from lead sources. They are a scam.

@@chaython well said.

@@chaython aluminum and Alzheimer's huh?

sorry to hear this kara, what have you been drinking lately?

Bro is iron man 💀💀(jk, hope ur don’t better🙌🏿👏🏿)

Noah Hayter yeah I thought that was kinda off as the Canadian legal standard was supposed to be 5ppb

Vancouver has some of the best water in Canada. Southern Ontario has the worst

Have you had your pipes looked at? Last time I checked we have some of the safest drinking water in the world. Don't tell everyone.

Another question: if orthophosphates coat your pipes, do they also coat your body's pipes?

@John McSween yep, you can not believe anything coming from government...they are so full of it, every day...all lies, all of the time

It can still be very harmful my friend. By the way, what kind of water you are drinking now a days?

Olivier The MaD PaNdA - No one is conserned with black face and no one is talking about now but you. Why even bring it up? Are you regretting that you voted for the Trudeau. And yeah, it’s a problem when the leader of a country paints his face and body black on 3 separate occasions and can’t say there won’t be more that fall out of his closet.

32353235e you can’t drink tap water in China. You aren’t really even supposed to shower in it without proper filtration

BPA yum

You know, people can install a well and get water free.

Christopher Lacroix “free” lmao

@@firstnamelastname6520 well you've got the cost of the installation, and then salt if it's hard water, and I guess a bit of electricity. I guess you need a septic tank. But it's better than paying municipal per use water.

You can rest assured that it's not our government's fault! And if it is, well, good luck suing them!

Lol

theres simply no way its clean if the house is built in the 60s

1960’s? got some acid in those pipes? Free trip to mars mannn

He can say he's sorry now. Photo op.

cassidy408 I was thinking the same thing .

This situation was there before Trudeau so perhaps it's Harper's fault

I measured (tds/pH) many buildings tap water in Montreal and they were around 150 ppm with a pH of 7.1-7.2 ... How much of it is lead, I don't know. Wish I had the measuring tools for every compound.

Bobbius Shadow Just to make sure, it means it’s safe or it is over regulations?

Laila August I think not the indigenous communities would be the same Canada didn’t put lead pipes out on purpose to kill the indigenous if anything they wouldn’t have as much lead because they have to get there own water

R POWER lol have you even heard of pipelines? over 40% of indg water systems have advisories. And if they HAVE to get their own water, it means that they have no access to same “safe” water we do.

@@lailaaugust6069 love me a educated woman

A couple of years back now, PUC in a city I lived offered free testing within your home. Came out clean, but contact your local public works office to see what they can provide or direct you to whomever can help would be my suggestion

You might be able to call your city's or provinces information line (where I am I think it's 311) and they could potentially help you out.

Apparently, some cities test for lead after letting the tap run which reduces the amount of lead showing up in the test. I had my city test my water and this is what they did.

@@hyacinth8844 I've heard that to, I dont think that it's bad for you but just not as hydrating

Yea you need to add minerals but sea salt is literally good enough and for like a whole pot you can add less than a full teaspoon

@@hyacinth8844 i recommend taking Coral Calcium with magnesium, you can ad sea salt but its more important to replace table salt with sea salt cuz its processed garbage. Distilled water only leeches minerals you'r body cant absorb.

Yes I've had mine for 10 years the best thing I've ever done for my family

@@hyacinth8844 ear fruit's and veggies and you'll be fine

Saguenay - I know right?!?!?! It’s disgusting!!

In ontario the school water fountains taste like metal

When did the french learn to drink snow?

Same I thought those were just air bubbles because when you slow the tap down it’s not white

You’re not allowed to talk about that.

Wow someone call the truth police before this gets out of hand.

Woahwoah. Calm down turbo, were are trying to stay alive. Getting free will back will be another movement.

That has safe consumption levels, lead doesn't.

Fluoride in drinking water is perfectly fine. If you're worried about it dont go to a dentist anymore because theyll tell you the same thing I am

Here's to hoping almost all of them get it before 2030

The Indians have much much larger problems they need to solve than their drinking water.

KJV1776WASP Damn bro i wish someone stole your country and killed your people.

KJV1776WASP Then left you with undrinkable water after they pollute the fresh springs. Take a history lesson on the colonization of NA.

KJV1776WASP Indians are from india dip.

I drink bottled water and I have a filter on my tap

But we still gotta replace the pipes

@Mike M no it's caused by having children with older men old men cause autism we know that the gene comes from the father and it's generally passed down to the son with the exception of some girls it has nothing to do with a woman's age it also has to do with men's Age to their body ages and their sperm ages
