Has anybody driven behind one of these "trips"
I was on my way back from Kingston and was only 1 km behind the lead cars.

I had no idea why everybody was on the over passes till I turned on the 680 news channel.

Let me tell you, when you see it IT IS pretty damn powerful!!!

Highway of Heroes
Thursday, August 23, 2007

A stretch of highway in Ontario that has been the well-travelled route for funeral processions for most of the Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan may be renamed in their honour.

Premier Dalton McGuinty is considering naming the 172 kilometers of the 401 between Trenton and Toronto, "Highway of Heroes."

The bodies of our soldiers killed overseas arrive at CFB Trenton, then are placed in a motorcade for the trip to Toronto, where an autopsy is performed.

The route has often been lined with ordinary Canadians paying tribute.

The website to sign a petition is available at www.petitiononline.com

If it wasn't just election BS it may not be a bad idea.
I don't think names of highways need to be changed .

If good things can be changed because of an up and coming Election........I say bring it on. If an name of a highway can sway your decision to vote for an a**hole than I say you must be 18.
 
I was driving behind a car this morning and read a sticker that said.
"""""When Clinton Lied..........Nobody Died""""""""  Good for a morning chuckle.Tongue

Link doesn't work for me. Thanks, I didn't know about the petition.
Almost 70 dead. Canadians again doing the tough work when asked.
The highway should absolutely be renamed.
I would be on an overpass if i knew when it was going to happen.

The term hero in this country has lost it's meaning. If you score 3 goals in a hockey game you are a hero in Canada.

Or, if you get more than $5/room in the GTA cleaning carpet, you may be a hero too?
