Hey cool. Thanks. I’m glad all provinces are on board.
Interesting to read that pushing a button on a GPS while driving is also against the law.
It hardly matters what the distracted driving laws and penalties are in Calgary, because there’s no damned enforcement.
I used a handheld cell when driving, then I switched to a handsfree, then I stopped using the handsfree. Hopefully this will give me a quicker response time when dodging the transports. 
I’m glad the distracted driving laws were enacted.
In Ottawa the city police have done things like pose as homeless people at intersections, and then whip out their badge when they see people on phones: quite innovative.
I remember quite clearly in the '80s, my Dad flying down the 400 holding the steering wheel and a notebook with one hand, while writing in the notebook with the other hand.
He’s a very successful businessman.
Although he did smash 5 cars over the years. I’ll have to ask him about those. :dubious:
Doesn’t matter in Brandon, either. The cops there don’t care whether you have a phone and never used one. The quota must be filled.
Good thing he wasn’t on the 400 this morning.
I didn’t even click the link, Leaffan; that happened not 2 minutes from where I work.
We can see the highway from our windows, it’s been gusty and whiteout-ish all day, and the 400 out front is still closed both directions.
Winter is refusing to abate, this year. At least one more week with -10 daytime highs is forecast for this area.
I saw that on the news today. Wow! Glad to hear that there were very few injuries.
I wondered if there were any Dopers close to that huge mess (or if it was a highway that one of you normally uses).
There’s always gotta be one, every tax season - we got the last tax slip we needed to do the taxes at 6:30 pm* today. I guess they could have gotten it to us even later - they had a handful of hours before the due date. :rolleyes:
*Why our mailman was delivering mail at 6:30 pm today, I’ll never know.

Very interesting case. Man I love Quebec; it’s a laugh-a-minute with these people.
If Canada were a haute-couture fashion show, Quebec would be the model who starts scratching the eyeballs and pulling the hair of the other models backstage.
If Canada were a haute-couture fashion show, Ontario would be Bob and Doug McKenzie dressed in ill-fitting tuxedos, trying to ‘appreciate’ wine, and wondering where the been and donuts were. 
Ah…Oshawa.
I’m curious as to how what this has to do with whether weed is legal or not. It is illegal to drive while impaired irrespective of the legality of marijuana. Logically, if you feel the law should be more strictly enforced, you should think that, no matter the status of marijuana.
From the article:
Yup. So what if she conducts some business over Facebook in English? If her customers don’t like the English on it, she loses the customers. Free market and all that, you Quebec language nazis.
We can now welcome Hadrian Trudeau into the world.
This is happening a few blocks away from me:
