Commentaire

This proposed bill is regressive and short-sighted. As a former conservative voter, I am deeply disappointed by this move. More lanes does not improve traffic conditions. The way to reduce traffic congestion is to make our transit network more versatile, give people more safe and reliable choices for their commutes, and so on. Like so many Ontarians, if I have a reliable method of transport other than a car, I will take it.

Taking choices out of the hands of municipalities is anti-conservative. It promotes more top-down bureaucracy and it places too much control in the hands of politicians who are dissociated from the regional concerns.
