It's not just the land the highway itself will take, it's the surrounding areas that worry me. Look at Mississauga or Brampton from space - that's what's going to happen to a 60km wide swath around the highway. Just a sea of impermeable grey concrete and asphalt. That's the last thing Ontario needs.
Eventually they would add too many on-ramps too close together and traffic would also be horrible on the highway.
