I feel sorry for them. But then again, this is what they want.

  • They oppose making parking expensive.

  • They oppose bus lanes

  • They oppose bike lanes.

  • They oppose trains

  • They oppose train stations.

  • They oppose congestion pricing.

They oppose any measure that might reduce car dependency.

    You can thank my fellow Ontarians for being fucking morons and electing Doug Ford who rewards his contractor buddies with expensive projects like making another layer of highway instead of improving our ailing railway infrastructure.

      Doug Ford wants to double it by digging a tunnel underneath the 401. Not for electric trains. But more cars. Because I really want to drive in darkened smoggy tunnels.

        I can’t wait for the entire tunnel to be closed by an accident. If you thought being stuck on the 401 was bad enough when there’s an accident, now try having absolutely nothing to look at while you do so! And if something catches fire, it’ll be far worse than above ground.

        Tunnel ventilation is a solved problem. I’d actually prefer if all city highways were underground.

          Ok. You got me there. In a perfect world, fast subterranean mechanized electric transport would be ideal, freeing the surface for more parks, forests and bikepaths.

          Edit: that is not what Douggie is planning.
