In the 1990s, I drove through the Rat Hole several times with a City of Edmonton 1 ton truck that had a wide box, and I was on the edge of my seat, almost literally. Then once, and only once, I drove through it with a 3 ton moving truck. I'm happy to say that I didn't contribute to the marks on the Rat Hole side wall blocks. Driving through it with a small car was a breeze!

The only place this guy is liked is in Alberta. He was premier for 25 yrs. A british immigrant, with a dislike for french, catholics and anything deemed socialist, including universal health care. Alberta didn't get universal healthcare until he left office. He saw communist everywhere, in schools, the media, the CBC. He banned books and movies that "he" deemed socialist. He didn't mind censoring others opinions. He was Alberta first kinda guy. Not very canadian. His policy goals under the "Social Credit" policy infringed on the responsibilities of the federal government under the constitution. Him being premier of Alberta for 25yrs explains albertans today.

Yes Alberta loves him ❤️ and the rest of Canada is wrong. He and Aberheart gave us the best future and most prosperity of Canada's neglected provinces... without Aberheart and Manning we would be as much of a bunch of poor loser provinces like Newfoundland, PEI, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan before Brad Wall. And we got our Prosperity honestly with the free market and the protestant work ethic, not with government theft like Ontario and Quebec. My Grandfather Voted for him, my whole family voted for him, and I a Milennial would vote for him agian today.

I was a bike courier in downtown Edmonton back in the 80's. I used to ride through that nearly every day, and the stench was unbelievable. Fumes, stagnant water, urine, garbage, decaying animal corpses. It was a challenge to hold my breath all the way through. It deserved the name 'rat hole'

It had to be closed because as this video shows no one was any longer adhering to the rule that you had to put your left blinker on and honk wildly while in the hole. I’m surprised I never caused any damage to vehicles while trying to “get air” while driving on top.
