If only truck drivers had to take a proficiency test to get to drive a rig. It should be mandatory to know how to put chains on for starters.
Certainly , however the chains do lots of damage to the pavement .

I dispute your claim!

Not that I-90 is better maintained than the 401, but your claim that that's the dumbest reason on earth.

Heck, I can come up with half a dozen dumber reasons just off the top of my head.

Welll the trans Canada is the longest highway in the world!
And, the 401 isn't part of it.
The 401 is the busiest highway in North America, needing constant maintenance. The 407 toll road is a better highway......if you can afford to go on it.

Dumbest reason on earth.. I90 in the USA gets cold and ice but is better maintained from end to end than the 401
They are complaining of closed highways in Washington State as we speak . Governor Insley has laid off twenty percent of highways dept. and they are short plow drivers .

Proper infrastructure is the key to a countries ability to transfer goods, economy and growth..

That is why the USA is so successful.. their Interstate system..

Canada is so stuck on North South trade we are so dependent on the USA..

We have more trade barriers between provinces than we do with the USA..

Canada’s destiny is to be part of the USA within the next century
