i hope this doesn't come aboot but it is more fair, no doubt.
it could be said however that people that don't drive do tke the bus however.
my point mostly was that insurance payouts aren't covered by municipal governments.
there seems to be some great movement in government these days towards taxes by km, which i find to be not a good development.
personally i think calgary's snow problems aren't bad enough for a total overhaul of our removal, it's not great but there are few days that calgary is ground to a halt.
the core problem really is driver skill, but since that's not going to improve anytime soon then the only way to have less accidents on snowy days from a government perspective is throw mopre money down the snow removal hole.
