    Yah, people are over reacting. It took me 20 minutes to get to work this morning and on a regular day it takes me 15-20 minutes. SO what is the difference?

    95% of the city wasnt on the roads today because schools were shut down.
    If it wasnt for TDSB closing schools - that 20 minutes would have taken 1.5 hours easily.

    ONTARIO NEEDS TO MAKE WINTER TIRES MANDATORY.

    Yes, the caps were necessary.
    Have you seen my stapler?

    No, so that the knuckleheads who are spinning out in their bald all-seasons have some measure of traction.

    Why does the government need to tell us what to do? We are adults. If one doesn't want winter tires, they shouldn't have to get them.

    Though I don't agree that we should have a regulation for this, I have to admit that some adults are just behaving the same as kids.

    .toronto's drivers are the worst when it comes to winter driving..3cm of snow and they treat it like a f**kin Armageddon especially around the dvp and 404 area.

    Went to work today scarborugh to downtown on the DVP.

    Best drive ever! I was there in 30 min, the road was clvered but even goig dlwn at 60km man it was so fast. Had a blast driving in the snow

    Got to work only 4 of 14 people were at worm. Even the manager who loves on the f*** subway line (younge and sheppard) called a snow day!

    Im not so upset TDSB closed schools, i am upset at the media, they hype up the storms so much and scare people! Then ot all fizzles out, they get it wrong all the time.

    Add that to the fact that most people in toroto are just lazy ****s who will do anythin to get a free day off!

    We are a city of pussies

    Don't know if it's just for Toronto. I have lived in Vancouver for over 10 years, and people started to panic whenever there is a snow forecast. 3cm...and it might cause people to drive for an hour in order to go home/work.

    We had our first good dusting in Burlington last night, the @#$@#$% people on the QEW were driving like it was a blizzard, welcome back to winter driving.

    If you want to get yourself injured/killed, that's cool.

    The reason the government can/should "tell you what to do" in this case is to reduce the risk you impose upon other people on the roads.

    then you shouldn't be on the road endangering other ppls lives. if you don't care about driving you shouldn't have a license.
