A good portion of our snow clearing budget is car infrastructure. Meanwhile, pedestrians cyclists, and those using wheelchairs or other mobility devices cannot get around.

Stephen Harper says the US is a "hostile" regime and Canada must urgently reduce its economic ties and hit back with counter tariffs.
He says business leaders are fooling themselves if they think things will go back to normal.
