Pot Hole Parade
Look, I know this is pothole season and there’s not much that can be done to repair them in this weather BUT something has to be done about the ones that are deep enough to conceal a German Shepherd. They are downright dangerous for both car and driver.

It’s simple – HRM gets kickbacks from Metro’s garage mechanics. Heh-heh-heh.
” spliffy haze ” ” pits “… nice! It doesn’t matter where you live in the Maritimes… salt and potholes is what we do! Bound to a life of turbulence and swirving while driving.
you do of course realize that there’s nothing anyone can do about the potholes for another couple months, do you not? It is one of the major factors in driving anywhere in the maritimes. Potholes and ice. If you don’t know how to slow down for and avoid the potholes where possible, you really shouldn’t be driving, and fully deserve the cost of repairs to your vehicle.
Sure Frances having a whole bunch of big massive holes in the road is normal. Halifax has the shittiest roads ever. The goverment should have to pay for damage inflicted from its horrible roads. My father and I were out driving around in my car today and he thought my shocks were giving out but Its just he is use to driving his truck and doesn’t feel them. Justin is right this is totally unacceptable
Wow my neighbour came up with a clever idea. How about spray painting a ORANGE circle around a pot hole!!!! Anyways the roads downtown always suck.
It’s a make work project, beat the crap outta the roads in the winter so you can have a job paving them in the summer. Do you really believe that we as a race can figure out how to freeze light, super nano technology and tons of other stuff that people even 10 years ago couldn’t dream of but we can’t figure out how to make a road that will not deteriorate in a year? come on, really!
