MODERATORS
I understand and agree w ur statements abt torknto traffic - I go uoft and frequently have to commute dt.
But the truth is adding more tax will just line the pocket of useless beaurucrats. I doubt the money will be spent efficiently, as governments are known to be extremely tardy.
But the alternatives are garbage. The subway system is overloaded and there's been no investment for almost 25 years. The go train network is nice for 15 years ago, but not so much now. And even current investment is a prime example of beaurucratic inefficiency
More tax will also just lower the standard of living. Toronto is already expensive, and making it more expensive to "fix" the problem thay THEY created is like going back to an abusive husband, promising to be a better wife.
