of all the things they could launch their bid with, this was the choice. i'm so confused.

@banana_wizardSama the 905 really cares about highway traffic. Most people in the suburbs can't reach their workplace without getting on a highway. I'm not happy about it. I don't like that they also like filling an F150's worth of space for a single passenger, but it is what it is. If she wants to make a dent outside of Toronto and Hamilton, I'm not surprised she went in this direction. More broadly if we're to address the problem with higher highway capacity, the 407 is the cheapest option.

that's fair. i read that doug is purposely keeping it vague to the press re: their actual plan even though the pc floated the idea not long ago.
