    How and what time did you get stuck for 3 hours? That looks like crowchild. I drove home through rush hour from downtown, and was shocked that traffic flowed so well. Got home to Arbour Lake in 18 mins at 5:30pm!

    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

    Yes this is south bound crowchild. It was a little past 8:00. I should have been a little more specific in that it took about 1.5 hours each way... Still, why do people drive so damm slow when it's cold, the road it dry, it's not snowing and it's too cold to form any ice because there is no moisture in the air!

    haha man, you guys must not know the secret lane choices to take on Crowchild!

    During rush rush hour, I can make it from Arbour Lake to my downtown office in 25mins. Home is usually under 25 mins unless there's an accident.

    Here's a hint... Crowchild southbound ALWAYS has 3 lanes if you know where you're going....
