Highway 5 runs North/South in British Columbia. It passes through the North Thompson Valley on the most direct route from the port of Vancouver (and points South) to Edmonton and the oil fields of Fort MacMurray. I went down by the Hwy to judge commercial traffic for myself. The Hwy is not quiet. Truck traffic is still moving both ways. I have seen it busier, but since today is a holiday so one might expect fewer rigs.
Is Canada answering “The Call To Arms?” From here it doesn’t look promising. Anyone else reporting in?
