Investigation Finds Elevated Lead Levels In Canadian Water

A yearlong investigation by journalists and university members revealed high lead levels in drinking water across Canadian cities, with some levels comparable to Flint, MI. The study analyzed 12,000 water tests and found significant contamination in older homes. Despite national guidelines, enforcement varies by province, and there's no federal mandate for testing. Health risks include heart disease and developmental delays. Montreal plans to replace lead pipes, affecting nearly 300,000 residents.
