Dear Demetrios:

Students & folks who shovel snow or respond to other disasters such as floods & fires will I am sure agree with me that there needs to be better coordination betwixt governments at all levels in emergencies. So here at this commercial rental property my father owns, I do the snow. Yes, municipal governments generally do the cleaning of it, but they are rather poor at it & I quite often have to do touch ups when they leave dangerous ice berms when they say grade an alley leaving me more work than if they had just left it alone. Provincial governments of course take care of highways & arterials roads & gravel roads. But, if the federal government can coordinate better with say His Majesty's Royal Canadian Armed Forces snow removal units with other governments in disaster snowstorms such as what is blanketing Edmonton & much of Alberta now, the streets would be safer faster & folks get back able to get around to their regular activities sooner & in a much safer fashion.

Barbara Frum,

Rory
