@Seigest Iโ€™m all aboard tracks and trains. I think all parties are onboard, Ford included. That said, I think one has to meet people where they are. In other words, one shouldnโ€™t ignore their material conditions. If a party wants those votes, they should address real problems with tangible solutions for these people.

I donโ€™t know enough about the 407 sale but Iโ€™m guessing it never got wide usage due to the tolls which made it easy to sell. If many use it, a sale would be difficult.

@Seigest note that in isolation Iโ€™m not at all happy to spend money on highways.
