Not a single street around here has been salted and it's very difficult to tell which have been plowed. My mum works for the school - the whole main section of the road is untouched by any plow. Bikes lanes, dumb ideas, and supporting unnecessary protest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 My neighbours got their car stuck in a big mound backing outta their driveway. I'm watching them push & nothings happening, so being a good neighbour I offer to pull them out with my truck. (I live in mission) So I'm pulling up a steep hill & the road is all ice, naturally I have to give them a bit of a tug to get out of the hole they dug for themselves, but its not a problem I pull them out easily. First comment is the guy telling me I didn't have to pull so hard (wasn't even hard & he had a hitch receiver which I attached too, so the car is fine), then he asks me how the roads are and just drives off.... Doesn't say thank you, and just leaves our shovel lying around which they had taken from the front of our house... unbelievable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth it Too corrupt. Taking tolls off bridges was super stupid. That lost revenue has to be made up elsewhere (we still have to pay off those bridge debts) and clearly it came from snow removal. Maybe if the corrupt government took some of the kickbacks they get from the mob for supporting their Casino money laundering scam we could keep the streets clear?

Tolls cost CC her election and put the NDP in power. Only tolling one or two cities citizens in BC made no sense and was hardly a fair approach to investing in BC intrastructure. Having effective roads for BC business and moving products benefits all BCers so the costs should be shared. Snow removal money is available... but our government chooses to spend it on other things.

Seen more buses over the years than I can count stuck on Stave Lake let alone cars/trucks for those who have no clue how to drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolls are a necessity. That’s the best way to pay off the bridges. People could choose transit, and not pay the toll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
