So I'm leaving the Brier tonight and picking a cab up outside the new Stampede Casino and it's a snowing good. I'm there with my fiance, who has a medical condition, we get into a cab and they ask " Where you going?" I say Mount Royal, he says get out of my cab I'm not driving that hill. Doesn't say he's not willing to drive the hill and would take us to the bottom, just won't allow us in his cab. So after this myself and my fiance wait 1 hour in the freezine cold for another cab. Next cab shows up an says, " I don't feel comfortable driving that hill but I can drive you to the bottom." Fair enough! We say thank you, we'll get off at the corner of 17th ave. and 14th street and get in. He gets to the hill and sees that it is essentially nothing and drops us off at our house. I tip the guy 20 bucks.

Now I know the cab had no way of knowing of my fiances health, and I can see a cab saying they don't want to hit a particular neighbourhood in a snowstorm (we were more than willing to walk up the hill if need be), but to just tell people "I'm not taking you" and leave them in the freezing cold is just ridiculous. I wrote down the cab's car number and license plate and I think I will be filing a complaint on Monday,
