Holy out-of-context-Batman: I was responding to Urbanboom's (ridiculous) assertion that inclement weather is somehow better to walk in than drive.
Believe me, I know--in practice, it is. Though of course, it depends where you're going, and under what circumstances--but when it comes to a quick nip to a nearby Shoppers or the nearby Y, bad weather is terrific incentive to leave the car at home for a change. And in a more urban-philosophical sense, one might even say that inclement weather is a natural "localizer", i.e. it forces us to do things within a more compact, pedestrian-friendly radius.
Yeah, but given your speed-bump habits, if car ownership is like marriage, you're pretty much an unreconstructed spousal abuser, anyway...As to your remarks: having lived in Collingwood for 11 years, I would drive t through any blizzard this city can throw at me, including last winter (which would constitute a 'normal' winter for Collingwood/Orillia.)
Besides, Collingwood/Orillia isn't Toronto. And if you find Toronto's worse off for the fact, that's your problem.
