I think the efforts are pathetic at best. It seems all they do is wait for a Chinook to come along to clear the roads. If we get a few cm's it gets packed down and becomes ice. Since they use mostly rocks and very little salt it doesn't go away. In NS it would be down to the pavement in no time and there were never a shortage of plows going around. But then again there were a lot of rusty cars from the salt too.
