    Shouldn’t we maybe … I don’t know … be putting that money towards the defense of Canada? Or, maybe more railways to the northern cities like Thunder Bay? I mean… Armstrong has one, why the fuck doesn’t Thunder Bay?

    Or how about putting that money towards our health care? That would be nice.

      Or if you really want to build roads, why not expand the divided highway in northern Ontario for highway 17 and highway 11

      But I would much rather prefer you spend those billions on health care

    You know what could solve that problem way better than yet another “one more lane” solution?

    PUBLIC TRANSPORT. Expand light rail, buses, and trams to give people better ways to get in and out of Toronto. Adding more highways just means more cars, more congestion within the city, and more parking. It’s a dead-end solution.

      I have a feeling that this sentiment will become more common place as Automobiles and Gasoline prices rise.

    And chances are, if it ever does get built, in order to pay for it, it will be sold to a foreign controlled corporation who will turn it into a toll road that we will all have to continually pay for
