    We got 4 inches of snow a couple days ago, and they still haven't plowed half the highways. They all look like this.

    The provincial government just cut $2 million towards snow plows!! Now I'm going to have to put up with this all winter!!!!

    They can be used as long as there is snow on the ground.

    Roads are plowed and dry here. Probably why most of Canada is moving to Alberta. Although the rest of the Provinces like to bitch about us and our "Dirty money".



    Rather that then looming debt and possible country wide Bankruptcy.

    Seriously? Put on some chains, you have a truck. I would be way happier if they didn't plow or salt the roads.

    Not sure how the snow removal contracts are worked out in Winnipeg but in some regions they have a start date of November 15th. If it snows before that.....:rolleyes:

    It would be better if you were making the typical BrianR kissy face and holding your phone where only your middle finger was sticking up.


    Actually upon better thought, don't.

    You won't fit in, and that Anti-anythingthatisn'tamericancankissmyass-neo conservative will get picked up immediately at the boarder.

    That is very true.

    The one good thing about leaving the snow on the roads, is that it fills up all the damn potholes.

    Yes. I agree. The manitoban government is too busy giving everyone government cheese instead of spending money on infastructure.
