No Comparisons

A couple of recent radio programs about the building of the Trans Canada Highway 4 or 5 decades ago keep going on about what a great feat it was.  Keeping in mind that is the longest national highway system in the world (Wikkipedia), Canadians and visitors from out of the country will know that very little of it is divided highway and/or limited access, a situation that will be slow to change, given the inter-provincial/federal squabbling and turf wars that so often stand in the way of getting anything done up here.  So we seemed doomed to insane traffic congestion through the mountains for the foreseeable future.  No comparison to the US Interstate system .... sorry, I wasn't going to start comparing.....
