| Greg Lenko | No | Studies suggest that building more highways just creates more grid lock and paving through valuable farmland does not make sense. As it is now we need more green space and farmland. |
| Hans Wienhold | No | Until the province gets it's astronomical debt ( $295.8 Billion) paid off I do not support the discussion of any new massive spending projects.
Ultimately, I would like to see Government Incorporated monopoly enterprises completely dismantled and replaced by a truly democratic system of consumer sovereignty. The current system of coercive government monopoly provision of goods and services should be replaced by a system of direct democracy where the people rule. The only true and workable system of direct democracy is that where the people vote, not with ballots, but with dollars. Their "representatives" would no longer be lying, manipulative, bullying politicians, but the people who are actually willing to put their own money where their mouths are, I.E. capitalists. |
| Monique Taylor | Maybe | There certainly are cases where highway expansion is necessary but government needs to take the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach to new highway projects with community participation - something we believe the Liberal government has failed to do.
Historically, we have raised concern about planned highway expansions that threaten the Greenbelt, such as the Bradford by-pass, the GTA West highway to Guelph, and the Mid-Peninsula highway. We will continue to raise those concerns in the future. The Ontario NDP's first priority for reducing congestion is to make transit accessible and a better option for Ontarians. We also believe we can make much more efficient use of highways - for example, by speeding up the implementation of high-occupancy vehicle lanes. |
