"underused 407". Well, how do you fix that when it's privately run and the most expensive rolled highway in the world. Lol

Which was sold to a foreign entity by the same government saying it's underused.
The conservative party is such a drain on prosperity for all... and now the leopards are eating the faces of the rurals that voted for them. And they won't learn.

As of August 2022 and unchanged since 2019, ownership of the 407 ETR Concession Company Limited ("407 ETR"), the operator/manager of the highway, is as follows:
- Indirectly owned subsidiaries of Canada Pension Plan Investment Board 50.01%
- Cintra Global S.E., a subsidiary of Spanish firm Ferrovial S.A. 43.23%
- SNC Lavalin 6.76%
Technically it's majorly Canadian-owned when you add SNC and CPP's ownership. Doesn't change the rest of the point much.
But it's so well maintained
We don't need more fucking highways. We need to build up, not out.
