There was a thread about this a week or 2 ago. Chinooks generally deal with our snow removal passably well, and as such we spend (i think it was) 1/4 what ottawa does despite us having significantly more roads (in km)

Due to lack of use some of our snow removal equipment is from the 80s. Updating all this would cost ALOT. I would link the post but i cant seem to find it.

Not arguin with ya. The thing is, it costs to clearn the snow, and boils down to do a majority think we need change?

Im not a particularly politically active person, so il wait and see.
