Road Tolls coming to Toronto

Non of this matters.
The gas tax were setup to pay for roads..fair enough...but then they take our gas taxes aka road money and directed it at other things while said roads are decrepit.
This toll money will just be squandered. Someone should track the new funds and see how many people get raises and increased benefits after.

Why all the cynicism? Sure, not all gas tax goes to roads but what good are roads if you have no welfare office to drive to? That's why they call it a balanced budget. -D-ummy.

You see, nobody was hurt and closing the road made it safer still. The system works! #inreb2016

I really miss Rob Ford. Tory is a nice guy and all, but he tries to get along too much with the troughers.

It just means the gravy train is back, and until we find someone who's strong enough to take all of that scrutiny and abuse,
or we set an example of some of them with their heads in deepest, by voting them out, Toronto is not in a good place.
 
Lane splitting would sure help. Some states have created bills in the US.

Now, politicians in the states of Washington (State Rep. Drew MacEwen), Oregon (State Senator Jeff Kruse ), and Montana (State Sen. Russel Tempel) have all introduced bills that, if passed, would allow lane-splitting in their respective jurisdictions.

Let the vote buying commence. Hypocrites. https://www.thestar.com/news/queens...ohn-torys-plan-for-tolls-on-dvp-gardiner.html

No doubt based on the long current liberal record in office that they will allow tolls unabated once they are re-elected. So many new taxes over and over with them the last 12+ years. They haven't seen a dollar they don't want to spend. Crazy spending, deficits and still record total debt needs still needs moar $$.
Haha! Wynne wants to be your friend (by "your" I mean suburbanites who love to hate on downtowners). Who knows, voters seem so malleable it just might work. What's she at, 40% these days?

Funny, that's what the "troughers" say about his stands supporting old Ford Nation priorities. He's so afraid of being disliked, he's impotent to make the tough calls that need to be made.

Like the billions of extra dollars we know he's committed to sub-optimal infrastructure projects, instead of the what, thousands, millions, of alleged money pocketed by profiteering politicians that he and Ford were supposed to protect us from.

Yay, no more alleged 'gravy train', just buckets full of money shoved straight down the sewer pipe. God bless rationality.
 
Rob Ford (accidentally) made people think and care about politics for once. He also gifted us with immortal videos, as befits a great leader in the era of Youtube. Unfortunately, as it turns out, Toe-Ron-Toe-nians don't enjoy caring OR thinking much. What we worry about is "being embarrassed", as if this wasn't the natural state of all Canadians. So the replacement had to make encouraging noises to soothe the electorate's throbbing lobes. A two-time loser whose only late-career goal was to be called Mr. Mayor. As it turned out, old Johnny was tailor made for the job. Inreb, it's wide open now. Make GTAM proud. #mayorinreb2017

He just follows orders. He is not the Premiere.

She did that to keep her low approval rating from going lower.
It's interesting to see the push for tolls and no real resistance. No demonstrations or protests.
Where are the damn truckers when you need them:D
