maybe some business taxes need to increase to de-incentivize commercial overuse of public roads. Surely the free market can provide a solution like a profitably tolled tunnel running right under the Gardiner?

Another "solution" like the 407? No thanks!

[–] johnefrancis@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

the problem with the 407 is that the Ontario taxpayer paid to build it and then gave it away for nothing when nobody really wanted to drive on it. The P3 model is shit.

Which is then to be leased by the conservative government for 99 years to private entities in order to "balance the books" for 1 year.
