The busiest and widest highway in the world is in Ontario, Canada

Is that the fucking 401

That is the fucking 401

Of course it’s the fucking 401

The god damn

motherfucking

401

You got somewhere to be?

Too bad you’re not getting there.

The 401 is where they weed out the weak. You don’t drive on the 401 to get somewhere. You do it for the challenge. You do it to test your abilities like some Uchiha clan shit. Rush hour 401 is the breaking point between heaven and earth. Are you going to descend into a Lovecraftian hell or reach Nirvana? You will double the size of your biceps death-gripping your steering wheel. There is no time for rest or pulling off over into an exit. Bodily functions shut down. Cars on the side of the road and crashes closing lanes are a constant reminder that you are driving the razor’s edge. Death is mere seconds away at any given moment. They’re always doing construction but nothing is ever finished. It’s a constant roadblock for the hell of it. This is the Dark Souls 2 of Canadian driving. git good or get out

And that’s just normal mode. Have fun in the six-month long Ontario winter and enter some top-tier level of highway driving.

I heard that babies are born on the 401, grow up on the 401, and take over for their parents as driver of the family car on the 401

There has never been a truer post.

That construction is NEV.ER.END.ING. Sisyphian. Once they get to the end of repaving a stretch of road, it’s time to start all over again.

You want to get to Pearson Airport? Ahahahahaha! Good luck with the 401/427/Dixie Road interchange. It may take more time to drive to the airport than the flight itself.

Heading to the cottage? You’ll do anything to avoid the 400/401 junction.

Want to merge from the on-ramp? Time to close your eyes and pray to every god you can think of, because no one will let you in.

People think I’m crazy when I scoff at the horrible traffic of LA. I’ve driven both. I’d take the 405 or Santa Monica Freeway any day.

But apparently I’ve levelled up in this game, because I’m willingly driving it again tonight.

You people are crazy.

What do you mean “you people”? You want to be an honourary Canadian.

I’m moving to Banff or Saskatoon before I am driving in that mess.

You might want to reconsider Saskatoon with your Southern metabolism.

Was on the 401 a couple of weeks ago….it was moving, and people were FLYING by hubs and myself. And we were going the speed limit of 100. Yeesh.

No thanks. I’ll take the 10 minute walk to get to work any day of the week here in Winnipeg…

Yeah, that 100 is really more of a guideline.

I freaked people from Newfoundland out driving on the QEW. I can only imagine how they’d feel on the 401.

I drive on the 401 all the time, it's really not that bad once you're used to it.

I use this in my cheder classes at synagogue when we’re learning about Gemilut Chasidim, acts of loving kindness. It’s really important to start the message off with the point that no religion corners the market on that concept. This is an amazing and life affirming commercial of all things. Brilliant.

Over

When you realise it’s over. When they don’t look at you like they used to. When they don’t hold your hand anymore. That’s the hardest part.

So feeling this statement right now. It's been a month and I still have days where I'm sad about it even though it was never gonna work.
