Strong agree, sadly - Northern Ontario tends to get meager capital investment relative to the southern Ontario peninsula due to the massive difference in population density between the two.
It's a bit of the old chicken and egg problem. There is no capital investment as there are few people, and there are few people due to the lack of capital investment.
True. By the time they figure out twinning would be nice, I predict trains will actually be organized enough to replace trucking and there won't be the commercial traffic to justify it. I did notice the last time I traveled that a lot of it was passing lanes -certainly a marked improvement over my first trip in 1977. (Plus the terrain makes it a massive challenge to twin)

LolI did find some interesting definitions in the urban dictionary
Common Canadian term https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/mani...ning-kenora-manitoba-ontario-border-1.4958461
Try “twinning the Trans Canada highway “.

Yeah, shield rock makes it something of a marvel the highway was built to start with.

This would also be a good opportunity for Manitoba to put in some real paved shoulders on their part of the TCH. Hwy 1 across Manitoba is almost exclusively paved (concrete or asphalt) main lanes and gravel shoulders. There a significant number of cyclists riding coast to coast every year that die in Manitoba because they have to ride on the main traffic lanes. There are some places where a parallel side road can be taken for a while. Prawda is one of those branch locations.

The latest from Davidson. Originally posted by Sasha Kisin on fb. This nonstop rain will delay construction work I Swift current and possibly maple creek!
Sunrise photo by Daniel Dion on Twitter. For some reason, the elecrical conducts are sticking WAY out of the ground
Was the same in Regina - conduits were very tall but cut down when wire was run: Supercharger - Regina, SK

So they can find them when the snow comes?
I want to put Funny. but being from the prairies I'm not %100 sure if you meant it as a joke.

Well, it will be the same in Regina, I talked to one of the electricians and he told be they have already pulled cables through them, they didn't want water to go through them, so to accommodate the long cables they put a longer conduit and capped it. This is better than what they've done in northern Ontario sites, where they just put a plastic bag over it.

Nice. With wire already pulled they’ll have a lot easier time if the pedestals get installed in cold weather
And there's now photographic confirmation of this approach in the latest pictures from Regina: Supercharger - Regina, SK
Based on the third picture in that post, it looks like they are putting an extra length of conduit on top of the existing one which has the wires run to create these mini-flagpoles
I wouldn't read too much into that article - it's summarizing discussion in these forums and the maps on supercharge.info, I don't think there is any explicit confirmation from Tesla apart from that so it's not a new thing or a change from what we already know today.
