General Politics Discussion

I'm so frustrated that DoFo won again. The thing which kills me on this is the 413. We fought so hard to kill it under the liberals, and now it is going to go ahead anyway.

Do you think it will open before or after the new Highway 7 to Guelph? 

But seriously, I read an article which pointed out that Ford managed to make a lot of the election about the highway, rather than about his record. Very clever, and a poor performance from the opposition and media for allowing the switcheroo.

On the other hand, highways sometimes move slowly. Who knows, maybe it will get cancelled again.

You're optimistic. The highway is there to promote development in the greenbelt. It is the policy that his donors want.

My bet is, it'll get built before the next election, or at least be so far along as to be impossible to cancel. And I don't see us having AW2D GO or highway 7 by then.

Ford is an unmitigated disaster. IMO 413 is the most unrecoverable harm he's going to cause. Even our healthcare system can be rebuilt, the Holland Marsh cannot be unpaved.
