Default It's a bad time to be a pig

In the last week we've had 2 pig trucks overturn, causing road closures within the areas that people commute from, in order to get into Toronto. By the way, Toronto's nickname is "Hogtown."

I used to commute on the QEW to New York. Can't say I ever had too many traffic problems on it.

DVP...totally different story!

I only had to go 20 Kmh out of my way, on my trip in to work yesterday, in order to avoid it

Try QEW anywhere between Burlington and Toronto, during rush hour. I could probably walk to Hamilton, on the roofs of the cars, faster than they could get there.

Monday: Commute detour because of pigs scattered across the highway.

Tuesday: Highway exit altered because of a dead body next to my usual ramp.

Wednesday: Day called on account of alien landing in the quad?
