Fwiw, my mom is very happy with your old one. She also cuts a path to the backyard to fill the bird feeders.
Awesome.
Damnit so you’re the one that beat me to it!
By the time I saw it, he marked it sold.
@nobbie48 that snowblower of yours I bought is still going strong. Bouncing a bit so won’t clear to the asphalt but does a good job.
Here's the video from this morning. There was more than one idiot, but this guy topped the list.

Windsor judge sentences trucker to nine months jail for double fatal Hwy. 401 crash
Windsor judge on Thursday sentenced a Brampton truck driver to nine months in jail in relation to a "catastrophic" Highway 401 collision.

I see the mistake. The shouldn't have charged him with both Careless Operation Causing Death (HTA) and Criminal Operation Causing Death. Under The Charter you can't be found guilty of the same crime, twice. The guilty pleading under the HTA immediately invalidated the criminal charges. Rookie stuff. Someone should "review" the employment of whoever placed that HTA charge against him.Windsor judge sentences trucker to nine months jail for double fatal Hwy. 401 crash

The penalty under the HTA charge is up to two years. The 18 months that was proposed by The Crown feels appropriate, given the charge and potential penalty. Hell, many trucks now have proximity warnings that start screaming at you the moment that sensors detect a vehicle within a given distance and that he only reacted 0.4 seconds before impact is, to coin a phrase, criminal.
Good guardrail hit. Pieces flying off. Speeds away at mach jesus.

In my backyard. Bad drivers? Or bad conditions?

Vehicle launches over snowbank on Ontario highway overpass, driver killed | Globalnews.ca
It was the second of two cases in which OPP say a vehicle lost control and drove off a snowbank that had built up, with each vehicle landing on the highway below.

Both? Add in provincial negligence as a third factor. They made a snow ramp up and over the wall. Someone already launched off it that day. They promise to clear the death ramp in the coming days. I think that will be a hard fight in court. Province doesn't deserve 100% of the blame, but a lot more more zero seems reasonable. Since they have the deepest pockets, that means they pay most of the losing lawsuit.In my backyard. Bad drivers? Or bad conditions?

Edit:
Mto kept bridge closed until snow was cleared after this crash. Typical government, wait until someone dies and then take action.

Three from Brampton. Any wonder that so many truckers, who are involved in incidents, have a Brampton address? I feel less safe here on a daily basis.
You'd have trouble finding a Quik-E-Mart in Brampton that doesn't sell CDLs out of their stockroom.

I would be more curious how many Brampton resident listed truckers are out of work after the Ryan Wedding bust.
Four truckers have been charged after a day with adverse winter weather conditions saw police respond to multiple crashes involving commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) on Highway 11.
The charges are related to two notable crashes yesterday (Dec. 4) in the Driftwood area and near Hearst.
Around 9:30 a.m., James Bay OPP was controlling traffic while a vehicle was towed from the ditch on Highway 11 in Driftwood. A parked CMV was hit from behind by another CMV.
A 20-year-old from Saskatoon is charged with careless driving causing bodily harm. A passenger in the vehicle was brought to the hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries, said police.
Around 10:30 a.m., there was a collision involving six CMVs on Highway 11 about 120 kilometres west of Hearst.
In that incident, police say three drivers — a 31-year-old from Cambridge, a 30-year-old from Brampton, and a 29-year-old from Brampton — were charged with careless driving.
Both stretches of highway were closed for the investigation and cleanup, and the areas were each reopened by 4 p.m., said police.
The collisions happened the day after James Bay-Mushkegowuk MPP Guy Bourgouin called for mandatory winter driving simulation training for new truck drivers. The private member's bill he introduced would require all new Class A and D license holders to complete an additional 20 hours of truck simulation training under winter conditions.
