​ Building Highways Faster…

​

Building Highways Faster Act?

This is an abomination, A disgraceful, repugnant piece of legislation.
The party of Doug Ford is displaying their need to bully, intimidate and crush anyone who stands in
the way of this unfathomable highway.

Not only are they paving over some of the most fertile soil in the country, but they are doing it with no
respect for traditional environmental regulations. No respect for homeowners living in multigenerational
homes. No respect for the traditional way of planning for the common good.

There was no public outcry demanding the creation of highway 413. It is purely a "solution in search of a problem".
When it is built, the congestion will end up the same as the current 400 series of roads.

This bill is more concerned with protecting the rights and safety of surveyors than it is about the lives of homeowners.
It will remove the right to appeal an expropriation order and force people to accept whatever the government deems
"Fair Value". The MTO is historically notorious for its heavy-handed approach and has a reputation for meanness and
abuse of citizens. Ontario Hydro by contrast, is a fine institution which deals with people in a humane and dignified way.

Ontario Conservatives feel emboldened by the recent popularity of populist authoritarian regimes. Doug Ford
feels emboldened by Donald Trump's recent re-election - - This bill is a masterful show of "Big Brother" in action.

The only groups that will benefit from this debacle are developers, construction companies, aggregate suppliers,
surveyors and site-planners.

What a disgrace!
