I imagine all those same guys would use wood sticks because they work just fine and a good player doesn't need a composite to get the job done.

I live in the core - I don't drive unless it's absolutely necessary.
Government mandated snow tires would a gigantic pain in the ass for me. Where am I supposed to store them? All seasons are good enough - I'm sure snow tires are better (if they weren't, there wouldn't be a market). But for the amount I drive, I can handle winter driving in Calgary on all seasons.
If the Government is going to mandate us to spend a lot of money on tires useful for only 4 months of the year, they then are sure as hell going to offer a rebate for those of us smart enough to reduce our commute to include no driving.
