New Snow Czar Luis Maranda is already Failing!!

Hello Again!
Been A while....

So i was making a few deliveries today....from the north end of Park Avenue to Atwater and Maissonneauve. So I take Park Avenue south, hang a right at the Pine/Park interchange and climb Pine Avenue Headed to Cote des Neiges and down to Atwater.

This Trip entails many up an down roads, but is the fastest and most efficient way to get to my destination....USUALLY! But today we happened to have a snow storm going on.....20cms!!

I noticed something very disturbing....there were many cars and trucks slipping and sliding all along the route I took, not being able to get any sort of traction going up the hills or down Atwater (from Sacred Heart School) all the way to Dawson College.

There was No abrassives what-so-ever spread on the roads....NONE AT ALL!! The snow had not been plowed to the side AT ALL! It was a huge mess causing severe traffic delays....A trip that usually take 8 to 12 minutes took me 3 times as long!

The new city snow Czar, Luis Maranda, Has failed his first test!

Or has he?

Is he maybe just following new city protocol when it comes to snow clearing?
Is it maybe that the city is no longer using Abbrassives city roads? It sure seesms that way...My entire trip to and back was slippery and chaotic!

Could this be why the province frced us to install winter tires on our cars? Is this part of the master plan to save money? Is this how they are going to be managing our tax dollars?

I can only imagine what the roads were going to be like if the mandatory Winter tire laws didn't exist today.

To recap:
We are forced to spend a load of money in a recession type time for new winter tires.
We pay taxes to the city for services that include snow clearing and providing us with safe and passable streets.

But we do not have safe streets...no abbrassives....and no safe sidewalks.....but we have winter tires....

The governments take our money via taxes, reduce our services, and always seem to be in financial distress....and should we happen to get hurt on our unsafe streets or sidewalks....we have to spend hours if not days in a hospital emergency room waiting to get treated.....

SO what's going on here?
Why are we being played?

As I always say...Governments enact laws and bylaws in ways that the citizen will at some point absolutely violate these laws and the government will make money on fines and penalties....

Let's wake up!
