One way of looking at it but overall, scrapping these projects and/or delaying them will just lead to grid-locking our province's economy. Chamber of Commerce has noted the negative effects of congestion on the Canadian economy for a few years now. I also remember local media pieces specifically discussing KW industry and access to the 401, etc.
I thought Ontario was "open for business"?!
If you're looking for logical consistency in the Ford administration you'll be waiting a long time. Ford's priorities are pretty clearly personal score-settling, and riling up the base. A new highway 7 does neither.
