    1. Who needs to blame somebody for not providing a warning…? IT’S WINTER. IN CANADA. What do you expect? Tropical paradise and a warm breeze? Don’t drive like a moron. If you need to travel, drive like it’s the last event in your life. Take care out there.

    2. yeah… I do find it kinda… mysterious? hilariously SMFH? the warnings have been out for days, I’m on the West Coast and was all whhhohoo Snow back east, where’s my coffee, let’s see it! and tuned in this morning to look at footage of All The Snow That Was Predicted, and we have this rodeo on the highways? Toronto WHAAAT u thinkin’…

    1. What does the mayor need to say exactly? What we already know? There’s allot of snow, be careful, stay home?

    1. It’s is if you ever tried to drive in deep snow. Traction control has its place but not there. You obviously don’t live in snow country.

    1. And under the Comforter with a hot chocolate! Lol but when I was a kid I’d be tobogganing!!!! Lol miss those days

  1. Don’t blame those on the roads for some getting to work is a must and can’t really miss a single day of payday during these hard times

  2. I had to help push a car this morning who had winter tires and front wheel drive. Problem was the car (Honda Civic or a Toyota) is too low to the ground when there is this much snow for even winter tires to handle.

  3. All the dummies just have to go to Yorkdale Mall or Starbucks. They don’t care how dangerous it is out there. That’s the person they hit’s problem.

  4. Don’t blame those on the roads for some getting to work is a must and can’t really miss a single day of payday during these hard times

    1. Agreed. It was pretty rich to hear that when almost no employers, except publicly funded ones, have given their employees the option to stay home.

  5. Don’t blame those on the roads for some getting to work is a must and can’t really miss a single day of payday during these hard times

    1. Ok. So instead risk your life or rack up a nice tow bill. You’re not making it to work anyway. You just wasted a day to sit on a frozen road all day.

    2. I’m driving truck I don’t care about payment. This is my life end somebody to. This day I park my rig.

  6. Days like these, be grateful to be inside a cozy house, with the heat on

  7. Now is the time to think about buying an electric car. Don’t forget when you leave home today to carry along a can of electricity just in case you get stuck in a snow bank and are stranded for hours.

  8. Failure somewhere for sure.
    Ideally Snow Plow should have taken place right from midnight…..it was not at all done since morning 10 on main highways ….
