Who really likes cold & crappy weather? Most just try to endure it. At least Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa & even Winnipeg are better prepared to handle the snow & ice. All of these cities have better infrastructure than Vancouver & Victoria. At some point, perhaps a significant number of people will start to ask, why is Canada pushing infrastructure & growth mostly in the colder parts of the country? Of course most of Canada gets a harsh winter, when usually Vancouver & Victoria just get an abbreviated or watered down winter. Sometimes its simply more like an extended fall. Yet, most other Canadian cities have wider roads than what Greater Vancouver & Victoria allow. Vancouver & BC really made it a point to have significantly shorter SkyTrain stations than the TTC Subway & Montreal Metro stations. Even the Edmonton LRT in the late 1970s built longer underground stations than what backward Vancouver would do. Of course Ottawa has longer stations as well as wider roads than Vancouver.

But they always have the wider roads & longer trains than what Vancouver allows. The Vancouver & BC way is to continually hold back or thwart urban infrastructure growth.
Any major urban area has to have a good road system & an efficient transit network.
One has to wonder with short train planning & keeping the roads narrow, where has all the money gone over the past several decades?
