It also fucks up cars and the soil. Sugar beet juice also works as a deicer and isn't corrosive. I prefer sand, just since it works in all temps and it's inert.
Big Salt too strong in Canada.
Big Pepper needs to step in.
Ontario talks about salt killing fish in the GTA seemingly every year
Ditto for Portland
no surprise.
Grew up in Kelowna, where they sand the roads but don't salt them. Moved to the coast, and im always suprised by how much people throw salt around here.
