Gardiner Expressway: Toronto Tolls

gardiner expressway: They argue the tolls will elicit a rightist populist backlash and alienate potential supporters, according to Rabble. On Facebook John Bell complained, to all the 'progressives' who support road tolls, and then wonder why a Ford or a Trump gets elected give your head a shake. In opposing tolls on Toronto's Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway, a number of leftists cite political strategy. Slightly more restrained, Nora Loreto wrote, if progressives want to have a hope in hell in reaching the average Mississauga commuter they should oppose tolls. But, Bell and Loreto's statements are short sighted. The Toronto tolls are no doubt highly unpopular among suburbanites who currently use the two highways without paying either through fees or municipal taxes. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
