Well here's one good reason:

The guys who drive the big rigs in the interior mountains of BC have no faith 
in the "privatized" highway maintenence.  They say that when it was government 
doing this work, the roads were sanded whenever there "might' be black ice, 
and that now they err on the side of saving money rather than saving lives.

Now this is long distance independent truckers complaining -- not the 
Uniersity Students Communist Debating Union.
