Calgary is already a police state. I was there a year ago and they have these colour coded signals that tell you when you can stop and start your car. And there was a yellow light that apparently meant I could go but I should stop. What kind of Orwellian nonsense is that?

Just do what you're told and it'll be alright.

I don't know much about that, but I do know they have a lot of the worst drivers, which you'll soon find out about next time you try to change lanes. Vernon is almost as bad...........very little consideration for pedestrians here.
