Ouch! A 120km (2 hrs?) each way commute? That would definitely be a bad idea with typically 12 hr shifts on the roads up there. Geez.

After a recent presentation by one of the Ft. Mac administration Honchos , I came to the conclusion they're living in a world of their own, not connected to reality. Talk about pure BS.

What's the issue? Is the Mayor trying to get everyone who works in Ft. Mac to move there?
Yes, they want the workers to live in the community and spend their money there instead of having everything provided on site/at the camp.

That would be pretty easy to crush with the lawyers that the interested parties can afford, especially when they approach it from a safety perspective. Not on the extremely congested roads going in and out of town? Then you can't be in an accident on them, nor congesting them in the first place. Its a traffic safety & cost issue. Could you imagine the buses required?? And the unnecessary fuel burnt doing so?
This would be picked apart easily.

They sound like disciples of the Nenshi/Farrell/Carra school of governance and social engineering. Awesome.
