  1. 1:32 yea… that is NOT where you tie your rope/strap to pull a car out of snow! Talk about damaging unsuspecting people’s cars!!!

  2. I love how normal Canadian weather returns and everyone panics and acts like this is some sortive crazy phenomenon🤦‍♂️

  3. …and so, like USUAL….nothing important will be happening in Ottawa today, just like it hasn’t for the last 2 YEARS.🤔

  4. maybe Ontario should learned from this one if they haven’t learn from the last one -_- is Ontario mandate the wear of winter tires like Quebec?

  5. once in a thousands years storm…
    they only happen every few years…

  6. My heartfelt thoughts were with all of you on Monday as I rode my motorcycle to work in Victoria BC.

  7. All this snow in Canada in mid January is really strange.
