I had to Share It

So GM decides to dump some of there dealers or actually they dump a lot of them.

Of course this is gone cost jobs and that is sad but on the other hand is it worth to be a dealership of a brand if you sell less then 35 cars a year?

Coming from a country where every town has 1 or maybe 2 dealerships for 1 brand it is still strange to me to see all the same kind of dealerships in once city. Often I even wonder why there are so many dealerships of one brand so close together. Who was thinking when those dealerships where handed out?

I personally believe that the time has come that some of those brands just need to go bankrupt for me it would be sad because i own a Jeep and what would happen with my warrenty but really there is no logic at all to keep those brands going.

Where they sleeping the last 10 years? To me they where, if you see how brands from outside North America evoled there cars and how the brands here just did nothing should mean that the only thing they can do is stop.

In these Tech days who really wants to carry around one of thos BIG maps when going on a hike?

For instance it can be handy just to have a map on your iPhone or printing the part your really need yourself.
While browing the net for a map of Canada i found lots of topographical maps that cossetted lots of money, but then I found this http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca a goverment serivce with free maps.

And it able to give me maps up to 1:20000 and to me that is more then enough for a hiking trip.

So stop paying for maps of canada you can get them for free!

The City is thinking about introducing more Car Pool Lanes in Calgary.

In a way that is a great idea specially if it happends like it does on 10 Street and Centre street in rush hour where one lane of the other sides traffic is added to the other side so that the bussy road side gets an extra lane.

But how does this work on a road like Country Hills Boulavard or 16 Ave?

To me these roads are not really up to an special Car Pool Lane.

For me those lanes are not really helping any ways because I can’t car pool as i am having a job that makes me drive all over the city working by myself. I would love to pool but it is just not something that can happen. And I guess there are a lot of us out there that can’t pool because of this reason and to me it almost seems that we get punished for working.

Maybe it would be better if they give Car Poolers a tax credit or something that way you can pool any where and that will clear out the roads a bit.

What do you all think of the Plans?

Lets do some cool webcams on this site and lets start with the webcam that shows the office of TechCrunch.
