Editor's Choice: Here's How Much You Need To Make To Afford Living In Ontario's Cheapest Regions With most of the province being buried in snow this week, it seems some drivers were eager to get back on the road.

This is ridiculous. This ice was frozen to the window. It didn’t just slide down. Further I saw the driver stopped at an intersection at a side street waiting at a long red light & still made no attempts to rectify this before entering Bronte rd. Charged with no clear view. pic.twitter.com/PASy4hGe59— Cst.
