BC really sucks,

So I get to travel around a lot, hey 19,500 KMs in a little over 2 months is nothing to sneeze at. Anyway lately, due to the move last year, I seem to be in and out of BC and the difference between it and its more responsible neighbour Alberta is mind-boggling. Sometimes I get mad enough to write a letter to the editor, in this case the Alaska Highway News based out of Ft St John BC. Here it is, they printed it last week, I'm not looking for an award, I just get mad enough to write letters:

Dear Editor,

On a recent trip back to the province I was once again appalled at the state of the road system in Northern BC.
I see so many signs proclaiming the Government line that they are helping northern communities through infrastructure spending. That’s fine and good but not nearly enough compared to the amount of money taken out through resource revenue and taxation that disappears into southern bureaucracy coffers.
I would like to ask who in the applicable Ministry believes that none to one road slopes are adequate and safe. When the grass can’t be mowed by self propelled mechanical means they are unsafe. I see some mowing along the Alaska Highway has been done, I wonder if the Ministry has a special danger pay allotment for that type of work. Residents of Ft St John seem to think that the recent four-laning through town is a good yet all I see are 6ft ditches that will total any vehicle unfortunate enough to enter them. They are a mess and embarrassing to look at. Since when is the Ft St John plateau considered a flood area requiring such major and intensive drainage measures? I recall some shoulder widening that took place a few years back. The method of construction was to dump gravel over the shoulder then check the crown slope with a “special” 16 ft 2x4. Totally unacceptable and recent construction activities involving tendered southern contractors (using Ministry plans I will admit) are hardly any better
It shouldn’t take 3 hours to go from the Alberta border to Ft St John, yet that is what it sometimes takes. The Highway is overcrowded and well past its carrying capacity. Compounded by regulations that require some semi loads to be piloted here and not in Alberta it seems like the Government would rather create jobs through onerous regulation rather than safe infrastructure. It must be daunting for a professional truck driver to come into BC and have to deal with frustrated drivers, unsafe passing and abominations such as the South Taylor Hill and the scale at Mile 54. The Taylor hill has been a menace for more years than I have been alive and at the Mile 54 scale, drivers’ need to pull back onto a major artery with little traffic control and inadequate site lines on a hill. Northern residents deserve more. There should be a divided four lane highway from the border to Mile 55 and it should have been done 20 years ago
Yes the Government is really looking after northern residents, makes me wonder who is responsible I would like to thank them.
