Hardly seems like a priority, I'm a bit disappointed to see the NPD wasting efforts on road. We need more tracks and trains.
Though if they are certain it's a worthy concession to get swing voters then it's got to happen. I just think the next time the conservatives take power they'll just sell it again.
@Seigest I'm all aboard tracks and trains. I think all parties are onboard, Ford included. That said, I think one has to meet people where they are. In other words, one shouldn't ignore their material conditions. If a party wants those votes, they should address real problems with tangible solutions for these people.
I don't know enough about the 407 sale but I'm guessing it never got wide usage due to the tolls which made it easy to sell. If many use it, a sale would be difficult.
@Seigest note that in isolation I'm not at all happy to spend money on highways.
