Sort of hard to declare the event over when it never really occurred.
2-3 CM of snow in a 24 hour period is hardly a significant weather event.
Maybe for Florida, bit not for Northern Ontario.

Examples:
Some examples of conditions that might lead to a significant weather event declaration include:
Significant snow accumulation (e.g., 20 cm in 24 hours).
Ice accumulation (e.g., 20 mm).
High winds (e.g., greater than 60 km/h).
Cold temperatures when de-icing operations are ineffective.
Freezing temperatures and ice formation without warning.

So what part of todays minimal snowfall meet any of these ???

And as the EV numbers rise it will get worse. An EV weighs up to 1000 pounds more than a comparable ICE car due to the weight of the battery.

The GMC Hummer EV, for instance, weighs over 10,500 pounds, with the battery pack alone weighing 2,900 pounds.
The Center for Auto Safety reports that the Ford F-150 Lightning weighs 6015 pounds,

The curb weight of a standard Ford F-150 typically ranges from 4,021 to 5,863 pounds

What about those that deliver to apartments and the multitude of residential boxes???

The company that delivers the mail to the pickup boxes was out this morning dropping off the mail!!!

As for walking in slush - that's what boots are for.
Part of their allowance for boots.

Wow
Can hardly wait for the summer and they can't deliver cuz the sun is too hot!!!
Time to privatize the mail.
Might get less junk that we have to transfer to the recycle bins

If the board closes the schools, then that counts as one less day in their mandated 194 day curriculum. They must make it up at some point. So additional days at end of year or changing one of their PA days to actually be in the classroom.

Trump keeps talking about Canada becoming the 51st State.

Maybe he should understand the process required for such a move and understand it would never happen.

Read this link for an understanding on how ludicrous his statements are.

And Puerto Rico has been trying to become a state for the last 15 years and has been rejected by the process.

So just more blustering by the orange man.

Also time for our MSM to quite the fear mongering and move on.

Last feasibility on #6 was 2018. It has degraded since then as parts were cannibalized and taken to #7.
There is no longer an option for a portable baghouse which adds more $$ to the venture.
In the neighbourhood of $100 million minimum for a restart after months of refurbishment - skip incline, hydraulics, skip mechanism, new top and the list goes on
Don't think it is even in the cards of other than dreams talking!!!

SaPhZ - Carney is considered Designate PM until Trudeau seeks out the GG and resigns.
This may be a week, a month or longer. Carney IS ONLY leader of the Liberal party until this occurs.
The Liberals have no process in place to make Trudeau give up being PM and he may well call an election, win his riding and still be PM while not being the leader of the party.

The winner becomes Prime Minister DESIGNATE.
Trudeau then must seek out the Governor General and resign as Prime Minister and the new designate takes over as PM.
Hence why Trudeau is saying there will be a transition period. He is no longer the Leader of his party, but is still PM until he decides if/when he wants to resign!!!!
So a few days, a week or maybe after the G7 meeting in June. The Liberal party does not have a mechanism in place to remove Trudeau from being PM - he is just no longer the leader of the Liberal party.
Strange Canadian politics!!!!
