no, the experts are not only not happy, they can’t stop laughing
Is he inspired by the CAQ in Quebec or something?
The CAQ have been juggling with the idea of a third bridge or tunnel between Québec City and Lévis because, comgestion, and in case one of the two already existing ones becomes unusable.
So we have cuts in education and health care, they can’t possibly give money to social programs, BUT, there would be 10 billion somewhere to build this “third link”.
How about we make sure everyone has a doctor before we spend 20 years digging a hole that will only reduce how long it takes to drive to work.
Bold of you to assume it would actually reduce how long it takes to get to work in the long run…
Fucker, we need healthcare and help for the homeless.
Holy shit that is an absurd amount of money. Even a fraction of that amount could overhaul and upgrade their education, healthcare, housing, etc
Literally pissing your taxpayers money down the drain.
This is just crazy.
How about you use this 60B to fix the healthcare system you dumb irresponsible fuck…
Probably because his buddy Galen weston promised to help with the healthcare thing and his bullshit maple horseshit.
The only solution to traffic and gridlock is providing viable alternatives to driving. If you’re gonna spend all the money on a tunnel, at least put a train in there. A double track would have a way higher throughput than even 10 lanes of underground traffic.
I don’t think I’ll ever comprehend why alternatives to driving are never explored properly. I think roads or equivalents have to be so much more expensive to construct and maintain than a rail.
Heck even a roundabout once in a while helps with traffic flow from what I’ve seen.
It’s not that hard to understand. Cars and oil are big business. Cheap/good transit would cut in to that business. Liberals and Conservatives are in bed with big business.

That’s like saying Paul Reubens and Jim Jones were both criminals. There’s some room for nuance.
There’s a poor attitude towards transit because we don’t have a lot of quality transit. Why give up your automotive freedom and ride with the poors??? If only more people realized how freeing good transit actually is
As yes, the party of fiscal responsibility promising a $60 billion tunnel nobody needs or asked for
For that kind of money you could give away electric bicycles to everyone in the Toronto area who wants one for the next hundred years.
Or make the TTC free for 40-50 years. Or buy the 407 outright and make the TTC free for a decade or so.
Or fix healthcare…
Well don’t get silly.
I imagine that’d cover free public transit as well which would get more people off the roads
Okay buddy… really trying to throw $60 billion into a hole!
Literally down a hole. A hole that the public won’t be able to see the progress of.
A hole that further entrenches the dominance of Cars. Oh, but don’t worry! This time, the new lanes will definitely fix the congestion.

The tunnel under the 401 would take at least 20 years to build
Wow, just wow.
Also, is this for cars? Cause it would the have the same energy as “just one more lane bro”
He should team up with Musk and build a hyperloop instead.
Canada doesn’t need fElon Musk invited up here to fuck with our lives.
Nope nope nope.
The way things are going, he will probably end up being the first senator for the great state of Canada.
