Another Canuck, the other Canuck on the forum describes himself as a crazy Canuck!
I spent some time in Ontario & well remember Yonge Street in Toronto (the longest street in the world) some 16 miles long? Also, the fleet of snow clearing machines that used to keep Toronto's designated roads clear of snow during the winter.
I understand that due to weather changes, Toronto has got rid of it's fleet as it's no longer necessary. How true is this?
My enduring memory is the length of the winter that went on and on and on.....then one day the snow seems to have disappeared and this lifts ones mood. The next day you wake up to 15 feet of snow. Clearing the drive you then find that the tires of your car are frozen to the ground! Unbelievable, and this same scenario keeps repeating itself again and again.
I once visited the Sportsman's Show in Toronto, when we left the show we had to join a line of people that stretched from the show to the car park, each holding one another up because of the freezing rain that had made the ground a very slippy ice rink. People over here wouldn't believe that the freezing rain in Canada can ice up your windscreen some 2 inches thick in just a few minutes. To remove it you smashed the ice with a hammer to break it, less believable is that this doesn't harm the windshield in the slightest.
Then the snow finally disappears from the picket fences that prevent the wind from blowing snow onto the road, these fences lining all the main roads. Then spring arrives along with June Bugs to follow!. What a country, a country that breeds some pretty hard men.
Good people, the Canucks.
Best regards,
I doubt they "Got rid of", more likely they simply "Privatized" but snow plows are still needed in Toronto....Don wrote:

Canada also has the longest hwy in the world PEI to Vancouver 8,030 kms
From Toronto you can drive Young street straight North to Barrie where it soon connects to the Transcanda.. So the Name of the road changes somewhere near Newmarket but is is still the same road.....
Out here in Manitoba, the winters are much more severe than Totonto which is much further south, and gets some benifit from the Great lakes as well to help moderate thier weather....

Nice video Don, but the viewer is left wondering what's going on when your twin brother suddenly appears in half the frame applying scrim? It's explained about 10 secs later, but it needs to be before the excerpt appears?
I gave that some thought, but settled on the notion that it gets their attention, and hopefully entices them to watch the whole series..... one of the things I will be doing in the studio is getting businesses to come out and do "how-to" videos to promote their products and services..... so my youtube channel will eventually have something for everybody....Nice video Don, but the viewer is left wondering what's going on when your twin brother suddenly appears in half the frame applying scrim?

I did this in college... developed with coffee and vitamin c and used vinegar as a stop bath...... I think it was boric acid for a fixer.. anyhoo... if you really want to save the environment, you need to set up your own silver recovery system.... mine was using electrolysis to silver plate a paper clip..... (don't waste your time recovering silver from a single roll though, I had a darkroom at home and saved up a gallon or so before bringing it to school and hooking it up to a battery charger...with a paper clip.)
I got an "A"+++ on my film chemistry and developing exam!
Nice photo btw...
