A growing body of research suggests that road salt contributes to metal corrosion and can have a negative impact on ecosystems. Despite the introduction of some successful alternatives, many Canadian cities are still using salt because it's cheaper.

Also we could all just drive a bit slower when itโ€™s fucking snowing.

They used to just sand the roads in my town and everyone was fine, we just slowed down and drove like it was a little slippery.

Everyone wants to go 80mph everywhere all the fucking time.

North american roads are also usually designed in a way that encourages speeding, usually by having wide lanes, straight roads and no trees or other obstacles close to the roadway.
