From the CBC: Premier Kathleen Wynne to reject Toronto's request for tolls on DVP, Gardiner

Sources with knowledge of the decision told CBC Toronto that Wynne believes Mayor John Tory's plan for tolls "just isn't affordable" for drivers when they lack alternatives for commuting to downtown Toronto.

That's disappointing. Toronto's council voted overwhelmingly in favour of tolling the Gardiner. There's no reason why the provincial government should reject a city's request to charge tolls on an asset it's responsible for maintaining.
