Accelerating highway…

Accelerating highway development in this province and paving over huge swaths of prime agricultural land and chunks of the Greenbelt is one of the most retrograde proposals this government has made. We are in a climate emergency and desperately need to reduce our reliance on GHG-emitting cars and trucks. Instead of building highways and doling out naked-vote-getting cheques to everyone in Ontario, the Ford government should be spending money on public transit infrastructure, including expanding the GO rail links east of Oshawa.
