- PP where is this being blamed on Justin Trudeau? (12)
EN: Where is PP blaming this on Justin Trudeau? - I drive a 2L 4-cylinder. The $10 a month difference in gas might not be noticed. However, the ripple effect will affect all prices of other goods, and we'll have to wait and see. (8)
EN: I drive a 2L 4-cyl. The difference of $10 a month at the pumps probably won't be noticed. The knock-on effect impacting all the prices of other goods though, we will have to wait and see. - Probably more than I walk now. Lighter on the throttle. Shop at the nearest grocery store instead of the cheaper one. (6)
EN: Probably walk more often than I already do. Go a little easier on the gas pedal. Shop at the closer grocery store rather than the cheaper one. - Just over a week ago, I filled my truck (125L tank) at $0.99/L. Luckily, I don't drive much and I have two holidays coming up. I'm good for now. I always fill up at K@A, and I suspect it will be busier now. (6)

(10)
EN: Rather than wait for the City I chipped and found my roads sewer grates, the middle was nearing 16” of standing water. - Now, every road in this city seems to be in bad shape. Wondering if the city needs funds to fix roads, or just keeps pouring cash into things like the art gallery. Hope the 5 people in town who actually go to the art gallery don't damage their vehicles too much on the way. (13)

Post summary:To all those complaining on Tbnewswatch and other forums or websites. I drove from Lap to work at 2 AM this morning.

Featured comments:
- I don't like some city dwellers/Tbnewswatch commenters complaining about this - they don't understand that we don't have our roads cleared every hour like they do. I remember one day there was at least 10 cm of snow on my unplowed road, and keyboard meteorologists were saying 'kids should go to school, stop cancelling buses!' Heavy snow, transport trucks, and possible highway collisions? No, they shouldn't. (10)

I remember one day there was at lea - I don't know why people complain about things that don't directly affect them. Personally, I'd be happy if the bus was cancelled, because I don't want my kids traveling in that. Not worth it. (8)
EN: I don’t know why people complain about things that don’t directly affect them. Personally if the bus is canceled Im happy cause I don’t want my kids travelling in these conditions whatsoever. Not worth it. - Yeah, I'm in the west end of the city, and our secondary roads have been icy several times in the past few weeks. Avoid side roads at all costs, haha. It's good that they're paying more attention to road conditions in different areas. (5)
EN: Ya I'm west of the city and our secondary highways have been solid ice a few times in the past couple weeks. Sideroads are avoid at all costs lol. It's good that they're paying more attention to road conditions in differ

- They can use a landline to make calls. If someone calls for them, staff won't disclose if they're there. Staff will take a message and tell the caller that if the person is here, I'll pass it on. Unless the client consents to release information, their visit will be confidential. If they have a cellphone, it will be locked away with their belongings. (11)

Original title:McKellar Island Bird Observatory in winter?
Post summary:I know the banding season isn't active, but is the McKellar Island Bird Observatory open/accessible by vehicle in winter, especially now that the ground is covered in snow? I drive a regular 2WD sedan, and I'd be happy to wait until spring if I'm likely to end up getting winched out of a snowbank if I try now.
