Every time I drive to Canada, like I did today, I am still amazed by the vastly superior state of the roads compared with their US equivalents.  I’m still not sure if it’s because Canada spends too much on roads, or because the US spends too little — or if there is another factor at work such as the larger and more complex road systems in the US.

Whatever the reason is, it’s always a treat to come to Canada if for no other reason than because the road is less bumpy.  When you cross the border it’s like you’re driving a completely different car.  This may seem like a tiny nitpicky little point to you, and if so I have to admit that you are right.  But nonetheless, the roads in Canada are paved with… hmm… well, they’re paved.  And that’s something.
