    As a Canadian, I can’t imagine our governments spending money on fake potholes when we’re rich in the real thing.

    I mean, after poutine and sex clubs it’s what everyone remembers about Montreal.

    Bold of them to assume everyone who sees this will slam on their brakes instead of swerving and potentially into traffic causing accidents.

      Yeah, if the road in front is clear on both sides it’s generally safer to swerve than to slam the brakes.

    Completely ridiculous as far as solutions go - the only reason the cars are going too fast in the first place is because the very same government overbuilt the road.

    So the alternative to not overbuild the road, saving plenty of money in the process, was always there. This just wastes money then wastes a little bit more to add insult to injury.

      If you look close enough you can see the water mark. Pretty sure it’s shopped.

      Completely agree. They could also build traffic-calming infrastructure on this stretch of road that doesn’t necessitate tricking people into a false reality like ridiculous pothole decals do (which I hope are not even real and are made up for this meme, but probably are real).

    Florida uses retired Canadians to slow traffic.

        Nah. Many of them live there year-round, and only return to Canada for a few weeks to get their healthcare appointments done.

    The roads around here don’t need stickers. They’re bumpy enough to make my scooter’s bell ding on its own riding over them.

    The UK thinking they have even close to the amount of potholes as a country that has -50° to +40° temps…

      Our councils have been defunded so much that they basically don’t maintain the roads. Our potholes now have “bounce” damage, where trucks have driven into the hole and bounced, further causing rebound holes. Those are now widening.

      I’ve driven in Poland in rural areas. There are places in the UK now where Poland had better road surface.

    I’m not good at photos, but why does the dude in the Canada picture look so badly photoshopped?

      Probably because it’s a joke and not real

        What I meant was: why do I instinctively know that it’s shopped? As in what is technically wrong, not why is the photo manipulation crap. I wasn’t trying to offer critique, ffs I couldn’t make something even this convincing.

          Probably the lighting on the person laying the stickers down, it looks out of place
