The "brine" spray you refer to is actually a methanol/ water spray (windshield washer fluid) that is sprayed onto the road before the snow starts so as to make plowing easier. Where are you getting your information?

Most important upgrade for Canada is a more powerful battery. The standard one is truly hopeless. Even Subaru fits a better battery to some models.
I will agree to disagree. 20 plus years of driving in this climate has proven this to me. Calgary is much colder than Southern Ontario, and that changes salt use and effect.

Sorry if I repeated what the roads dept told me when I asked about the spray. I guess I should have asked someone who knows batter than them .

My little 390 CCA battery served me just fine last year. Oh there's that different climate/temperature thing again...
