Is winter driving you crazy?
The first major winter storm of the season to blew into southern Ontario on Thursday, causing numerous traffic problems and school bus cancellations. In toronto, the city sent its fleet of salt trucks and plows out in the early morning to try and get a head start on clearing the roads. But in spite of the advance preparations there were still dozens and dozens of accidents, delays and cancellations. Do you think the GTA and its transportation services are well enough prepared for the coming winter season? is there more the municipalities, the police, the drivers themselves can do? What’s your view?
Snow Removal
The weekend storm that caused havoc in the GTA is now headed to the Maritimes. toronto got about 26 centimetres, which was close to the city’s single-day record for December. About 600 snow ploughs, 300 sidewalk ploughs and 200 salt trucks were mobilized to get the city in ship shape for the Monday morning commute. About 400 flights were cancelled at toronto‘s Pearson International Airport and officials expect further disruptions for the next day or two. Ontario Provincial Police reported 1,650 minor accidents. Driving was treacherous as the visibility was low and the drifting snow clogged streets and sidewalks across Ontario. The storm’s reach touched as far north as Sudbury. “It’s a one-day wonder here for Ontario, that’s the good news about it,” said Environment Canada senior climatologist Dave Phillips. What’s your view – was it a “one-day wonder” Have city crews in toronto, and across the GTA, done a good job? Have we learned lessons from 1999 storm? Send us your thoughts.
toronto Maple Leafs – what would you do?
The toronto Maples Leafs dropped their fifth straight game on Saturday, fueling speculation that the departure of coach Paul Maurice or general manager John Ferguson may be imminent. The 3-2 loss in San Jose means the Leafs have now dropped 11 of their past 13 and all three games on their West Coast road trip where they were outscored by a margin of 14-4. The Leafs now stand just four points above the bottom-dwelling Los Angeles Kings in the 30-team league. “They played their guts out – three games in four nights,” Leafs head coach Paul Maurice said after the San Jose game. “With all the stuff they’re dealing with and the weight that’s hanging on them, they came out and played hard. “They deserved a better fate.” The loss comes as legendary coach Scotty Bowman told CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada he discussed a possible senior adviser’s job with the team until September, before Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment president Richard Peddie called off the talks. The Leafs made the unusual announcement in the off-season that they were seeking someone to oversee embattled general manager John Ferguson. Speculation was that Bowman, a paid consultant to the Detroit Red Wings, was the team’s first choice. But the talks never progressed to the point of a formal offer, and Bowman said he wished to return to the Red Wings, making it appear to some as if he’d walked away from the Leafs. Ferguson was rumoured to be close to getting his walking papers in late November, when Peddie said in a published report that he made ‘a mistake’ in hiring the first-time GM. toronto, though, briefly turned its fortunes around and no changes were made. Bowman – winner of a record nine Stanley Cup championships as a head coach with Montreal (1973, ’76, ’77, ’78, and 79), Pittsburgh (1992) and Detroit (1997, 1998, and 2002) – was noncommittal Saturday when asked if he’d still be interested if the Leafs came calling again. “That’s a pretty tough question to answer right now,” he said. “It’d be awfully tough to leave Detroit. “We’ll cross that bridge if it ever came to that, though.” What’s your view? What should the Leafs do to turn the team around?
