Highways are not meant to be built quickly. Highways take up so much land that simply assessing the whole land takes a long time, and can't just be ignored. By allowing this to pass we are opening ourselves to property seizure and destruction of our land with asphalt and concrete in the name of saving 30 seconds on average, for a limited amount of time. By allowing the province to perform expropriations without the chance for a citizen to appeal with a judge, all homes in ontario become at risk of expropriation simply because the province says a road should be there. This can be grossly abused through the approval of short connection roads that have no benefit, other than targeting an individual without the option for them to stop it. Even worse it's being used to take dozens of properties for the 413, removing the people from the communities its meant to help.
