It is far less important to build more highways faster than it is to preserve and improve the quality of life of all people in this province. Reducing emissions and providing opportunities for active transit would vastly improve these conditions.

Rather than investing money in a dying industry of fossil fuel consumption, money should be spent on rapid transit such as passenger trains and inter-city busses. Municipal public transit systems should also be funded. We do not need more room for cats, we need fewer cars on the roads.

Improving internet access and reliable electrical power to all regions of the province would allow more workers to work from more diverse locations, improving local economies in rural areas and allowing people to work where their families are. This would have the added benefits of allowing people to be less dependent on public services such as long term care, if they are able to live near their elderly and ailing parents.
