Only in Quebec...

tolerant of corruption are starting to take its toll. Overpass
collapses generally don't happen where they were built and maintained
properly. It might be an accident that the three most corrupt prime
ministers came from Quebec, but maybe not.

You might be surprised how bad some of the bridges are in Ontario. I
worked for a while on a highway maintenance crew and set up the safety for
the bridge inspection crews. We had one bridge in our area where the
concrete was worn down to the re-bars, and if you looked at it from
underneath, just a few feet down from there it was eaten away up to the
re-bars. We had one large bridge that suddenly popped a hole in the deck
and had to shut down a lane for a few weeks until it could be repaired.
Another set of bridges, two pairs of them over two creeks close to another
bridges were inspected both summers that I worked at that yard. The
engineer said he had tested the bridges every two years for ten years, and
every year he recommended that be removed and replaced, and that after 5
sets of sets, each one involving 20 or more core samples drilled out of
them, they were just getting worse and worse. Two out of seven bridges on a
15 mile stretch of the QEW that were in imminent danger of collapse and two
more were recommended to be rebuilt. I can tell you from my experience
there that they have to be pretty bad before they bother to fix them.

It's called putting bias over reason.
