I was living in Toronto during that storm, and it is very easy for people who live elsewhere to make fun. But when you have not had that amount of snow in 50 years and you dont have the recources to deal with it, it becomes a very big deal. I can remember cars that were so buried in snow, they basically stayed where they were until spring.]]>

Don't mind Margo, she's off her meds. right now because her rural road is blocked with snow and she can't get to the drug store! 
I was living on Bay St. during this storm and although it was a crazy storm the city did a pretty good job of keeping main roads and sidewalks clear downtown.  Calling the army in was a little embarrassing at the time because Toronto became a laughing stock, but they did serve during the snow crisis (which it was for Toronto) and their help was much appreciated not to mention how lives were saved because of their services.

WTF? Why would you boss give you a hard time at work when the storm was so bad that you couldn't get to work? What were you supposed to do, put on your jetpack and just fly to work from home? Or, were you supposed to activate your personal transporter and beam yourself to work and then back home again?

I swear, most bosses are full of it, and need to get perspective about what happens in life, and can happen in life OUTSIDE of work.]]>

Yes. There was an amazing quietness and calmness in the city after that storm. It was beautiful. But I lived in an apartment back then and the parking lot was located down a  rather steep hill. No one could make it up that hill. It took 2 days until they came to plough us out. I missed a day and half of work, and I still remember to this day, my boss giving me a hard time about it. :(]]>

The only reason they called in the army is because of work...  These industrialized bastards can't go one day without people working or the country would fall apart.  Humans will never learn until their need for greed disappears in maybe 5000000 or so more years.  Look at NB and the tragedy there.  The government does NOTHING to help them, nothing.  Not even the media says jack about it.  Why?  Because there is no Gardiner Expressway or Don Valley Parking Lot to bring sheeple into the city so that they can slave away for $11 an hour.  This country has turned into the 51st state and it's only going to get worse.  The more people that women pee out, the more problems we will have as society.  People are the problem.  The more people, the more problems.  Just look at the US.  10x the people, 10x the problems.  Stop breeding.  There are no jobs left as computers and robots have replaced almost ALL of them.  This is not taught in schools.  It's just common sense.  The only jobs that will be left will be in the Service "Industry" feeding billions of people hamburgers so that they can breed more kids on drunken Friday and Saturday nights...  Face it, that's all humans are.  Orgasms on a night of drinking.  LOL.  Sad but true.  We're lucky that BP oil disaster didn't finish the planet off.  One day, humans will find a way to do it.  Look at the money spent on militaries!!!!!!!  Humans spend MORE on militaries than on FOOD!!!!  It's disgusting how disgusting humans really are, yet no one can see it.  Keep talking on that IPOD!]]>

its super funny that everyone outside of toronto likes to chirp about this event with calling in the army.   If for one minute, they took a step back and put themselves into the situation, they might see things differently..  lets say something as mundane as an allergic reaction to food, but severe enough to call an ambulance..  so when the 911 operator says "sorry  pal, our ambulance cant get to you"  you are left with no other option...    to have the CF at intersections with vehicles that are DESIGNED for that reason, seems perfectly logical!   im sure if anyone was stuck in that situation they would not complain if a guy in an LAV came up and rescued you.. or maybe a family member...  if the government had sat around and done nothing, people would have cried foul too!    

and not everyone wears fucking prada shoes asshole]]>

To add to Chester Pape's comments, at the time, Toronto had averaged around 120cm of snow for the entire winter, so the city received it's entire season's worth of snow in two weeks. Now, let's take that and dump it onto Montreal (the whole season in two weeks) and we'll see who's laughing next.]]>

All it boils down to is *infrastructure*.  Places prepare for what they expect to receive, snow-wise, and this is based on previous year's weather patterns.

Being a displaced Torontonian I saw what a difference infrastructure made first-hand when here (where I'm staying in Belgium,) we had about 30 cm over 2 days.  Most of the time when snow falls here (rare,) it's light and it melts rather quickly, but this time the temp has stayed below zero, and the snow didn't take care of itself, it just kept mounting.  Buses didn't move for a week... all the cities ran out of salt, the airports experienced delays and cancellations.  They were entirely unprepared for 30cm, though it seems paltry to just about any Canadian.  Here it's the most snow they've seen in over 50 years.  But, should they spend a larger portion of their annual budget to prepare for something that happens maybe twice a century?  No... it would make no sense, right?  Well, following that LOGIC then it should make perfect sense why they couldn't deal with such a "small" amount of snow as well.

It's only about infrastructure.  Every city prepares for what they can expect, and not much more.  If you come from a city that normally gets a lot of snow, don't confuse your city's infrastructure with your citizens having a "bigger set of snow balls".]]>

My favourite comment on that snowstorm was an editorial cartoon in the Montreal Gazette (reprinted in The Globe) with a fellow talking on his cell phone (after the army was called in.)  The caption was "MayDay, MayDay, my Volvo won't start".  (I live in Downtown Toronto)]]>

I remember my sister in the Montreal West Island telling me that Montrealers were laughing, as I was shovelling out the snow in January 1999.  And then the same storm system blew into the Montreal area and tore a hole in the Big "O", resulting in the cancellation of the Montreal Auto Show....thank goodness nobody got hurt!]]>

BC has called in the Canadian Forces to fight fires, Manitoba asked for and received help during Red River flooding, and three provinces - including Ontario - called on the CF to help during the ice storm. Part of the CF's job is to assist civilian forces who have become overwhelmed or don't have the ability to handle crises. We should be thankful that they're here to help. Laughing because Toronto needed help is childish.]]>

<description><![CDATA[
Let's be clear, crazy as he was Mel did not call in the army to shovel snow. It was also NOT in response to the 40cm of snow that we got during the Jan 2-4th blizzard that also shut down Chicago. People forget that it just kept snowing every day for nearly two weeks totalling up to 118cm of snow, that's nearly 5 feet of snow. At the end of this when the plows were just not able to keep up any more Toronto asked the reserves if they could station some LAVs at strategic locations around the city to act as backup ambulances in case regular ambulances couldn't get to an emergency where the plows hadn't been yet. That was it. Period. No snow shovelling. Some public affairs hack from DND decided to stage a photo op where a bunch of soldiers shovelled snow for about 10 minutes because he thought that footage of a parked LAV was too boring to get on the 6 O'clock news and bingo, Toronto is a laughing stock for 10+ years]]>

The army was called into to help with the 402 rescue a few weeks ago. The national guard is routinely used to all manner of mundane "disasters" in the states. Given the uncertain weather at the time it was the right thing to do. Mel's only faux pas was the flamboyance with which he did it.

This argument is kinda silly, but I guess I'll keep it going.

Toronto's a massive city with over 4 million people set across an urban core, outer core, and suburbs.  The size of a  snowstorm and its impact on major streets, neighbourhood streets, highways, businesses, subways, airports, etc is difficult to predict.

Sure meteorologists might know how long a storm will last, but the kind of snow and how slowly it will melt or how quickly it will freeze is a challenge.

So to belittle a city because they had to call in the army is pretty pathetic.  We should be glad that we have an troops ready and willing to help its citizens. ]]>

Sure, London handles 4 feet of snow no problem, but for them it's a fairly regular thing. It seems every winter London gets at least one storm that dumps 50cm+ on them. But in Toronto, that amount of snow is unusual, so it makes perfect sense that they couldn't handle the storm of '99.]]>

But london, Ontario gets 4 feet of so snow and can handle it, though they did have to close everything down for a day, why couldn't Toronto deal with it?  My friends from other parts of the country still make fun of Toronto to this day. ]]>

Honestly, these comments all make me sick. Get over yourself Torontonians: We are all Canadian, I think we can deal with a little (or a lot) of snow..]]>

My grandmother was one of the people picked up by the army because the ambulance couldn't get to her. People who make fun of that make me sick.]]>

Whereas Ottawa uses the RCMP in every day affairs?  LOL.  Try being a city of 6 million people, not a town of 800,000.]]>

We in Ottawa, where I lived back then, thought it was hilarious that Toronto had to call in the army. I didn't realize that the city didn't have the capacity to deal with the dump, but still. Lol.]]>
