It's a shame the RCMP have to sound like an iPod stuck on replay. The screen capture above shows the many media releases distributed in the past 24 hours warning the Alberta motoring masses to stay off the highways due to the increasingly bad winter weather.
Generally, the public's reaction is to ignore the warnings and drive anyway.
Then, when someone dies, typically this site will receive comments about these fatalities claiming the province should have shut down the highway.
Why?
The mounties asked people to avoid travel.
Is that not enough?
Thousands of Canadians whine that they feel they are already nannied to death through cellphone bans, smoking bans, impounding of vehicles for speeding, heavy fines and silly traffic laws but in the same breath, demand that although police feel they are responsible enough to stay home when the roads are icy and dangerous, that they need unnecessary roadblocks as well.
I no longer understand what these Canadians want.
Just stay off the roads when the cops ask you to and no one gets hurt.
It's a no-brainer.

What Canadians need is to be trained properly, so they can make the right decisions instead of needing someone to make the decisions for them.
