From the Record: Region won’t talk tolls after Toronto endorses the idea

That's kind of a shame. It's probably not be something appropriate for us right now, but no one should dismiss it outright. What if a toll of a couple of bucks on the expressway wound up one day making the difference between needing to widen it at high cost in the future, or not? And municipalities do need more revenue tools.

I think that the Region of Waterloo should be very interested in the province allowing Toronto to implement tolls, and should add their voice (along with other municipal governments) to the call for that. One day, we might want to use them here, too. We shouldn't dismiss it flippantly.
