Title: Traveling
Post by: iago on March 31, 2007, 02:00:42 PM
So today's not only my birthday, but it's also the last day I'm in Winnipeg. Tomorrow morning, very early (probably 5 or 6am), I'm leaving here with my grandparents (and my bed, finally!) to go back home to Calgary. It's a 14 hour drive, and it might be icy which may make it even longer.

I expect to leave at 6:00am CST and arrive after 7pm MST. I'll post something here before I go to bed, and look after anything that comes up in the meantime.

I'm just posting this so you all know my status. If I don't return, look for news of a horrible car wreck on the trans-Canada highway. :-o

I'm having a barbecue tonight, and I won't really be around much, since it's my last day here.

Not technically.  It's called a highway, but here in America it'd only classify as the back roads.

Interestingly enough Canada has the busiest highways in the world.  Go back to eating industrial waste, Jersey boy.

Yeah, ok.  I'd like to see some stats about your "highways" being "busy".

I believe it...I mean an entire country piled on to one highway? :P

Yeah, all 43 people on the road at once!  It'd be a parking lot for hours...

You need to STFU, GTFO, and DIACF.  Oh, and be sure to have a nice day whilst doing that.   :)

Me?  You're the one who constructed a fake Wikipedia page, posted 430odd times on a forum under a different name, and hacked a Canadian news site!

American highways are WAY more busy in my experience. Canadians don't tend to commute long distances to work, whereas Americans seem to commute a lot more on highways. That's what I noticed.

I've never driven on the Canadian highways, but with intuitive reasoning, I'd conjecture that American highways are busier simply because of its population density, but I'm sure there are more things that would have to be considered for an accurate model.

You also haven't driven on the highway in question.  Canadians DO tend to commute long distances to work around here.  :)

Well, with several hours between each pair of towns on #1 between Winnipeg and Calgary, it's pretty logical that people don't commute often :)
