Highway 413 is not needed…

Highway 413 is not needed. The Ontario Government needs to either buy back Highway 407 to make it free to use, or subsidize the road tolls for trucks. Transport trucks will thereby remove themselves from Highway 401, making that highway significantly less congested for cars.
Steaming ahead with Highway 413 is a bad move for Ontario. It will result in not only further enriching Doug Ford's developer friends, but it will result in rampant urban sprawl, erasure of valuable farmlands, and, worst of all, erase habitat for thousands of species of wildlife. Endangered species such as the Red-sided Dace, will become even more imperilled.
Please stop this ill-considered rush to develop. It puts all of Southern Ontario's valuable farmland at risk. Mr. Ford, if you pave all the farmland, where will our food come from? Prime agricultural land in Ontario is a finite resource. Do not squander it. If you go ahead with this plan, you will be on the wrong side of history.
