Hey #Ontario friends, take this chance to do something nice for the environment that is simple and fast! Right here is a petition to look into alternatives to road salt, which is toxic and polluting the Great Lakes. Given current #water issues, this is pretty important, I think.

6 Ontario Coroner’s inquiries have recommended mandatory winter tires in Ontario. They will be ignored because police in Ontario will not enforce this.
I’m pretty fedup with idiot pickup drivers in snow, and douchenozzles with $80,000 cars who can’t get a set of proper winter tires. Hilarious to see them stuck with those chunky brodozer tires, maybe take grade 10 physics and don’t buy a vehicle with all the weight over the wrong end, and learn what a differential does.
That reminds me of the people who think 4WD/AWD makes them safe to drive in snow. No, that only helps you go in snow and ice, and to a lesser extent, maneuver, but it specifically does nothing to help you stop which is absolutely the most safety-critical part. It does not make you safer. Arguably it makes you more dangerous, because now you can go without being able to stop. You’d be safer if you couldn’t go in the first place, at least you’re not a projectile careening out of control on ice.
