"When I was 10 years old, I went to my babysitters funeral. She was driving home near 7 persons after volleyball, a vehicle was pulled to the side of the road in a bad spot (they’re all bad spots, though) and she was forced to go slightly over the center line to avoid collision. A semi clipped her, she died on impact. By the time I turned 21, two other people I knew personally had died under similar circumstances, on highway 3 somewhere between Medicine Hat and Lethbridge. None of them had a chance to start their lives. I have, and will continue to hold the Government of Alberta to some degree of fault in causing these lives to go un-lived, as long as they push back on the twinning efforts of highway 3. We know it as the “highway of death” in my community. I’m not qualified to speak on the economic benefits, though I understand they’re great. But from a humanity and safety side... it’s been at least 20 years of petitioning, numerous deaths and countless close-calls. It’s time to twin, it HAS BEEN time to twin... for far too long."
