So this toll road discussion has triggered/trolled just about everyone, I wanted to see what the Toronto Sun/c2k's take on it will be.

So much emotion, so much single issue voting, so much drama You can see all the outrage shared between the folks out in the smoking area as they discuss the article and swiftly move on to the second last page of this fine publication to analyze the sunshine girl where all worries wash away. Meet Brenda, 25, Oshawa native, likes face tattoos, bartender at the CROCROCK.

It took Tory two tries to become mayor. Don’t think former candidate Doug Ford doesn’t understand this. He’s licking his chops right now, gearing up for round two.

The 905 mayors are complaining because this is basically a Toronto tax on 905 drivers.

They're right! But that's not necessarily a bad thing. If the 905 drivers are causing most of the congestion in Toronto, then they probably should pay for those costs.

On the other hand, this may also backfire on Toronto. Maybe a heck of a lot less 905 people are going to spend their discretionary income in Toronto from now on. I know I'm not going to.

Per Tory's own statistics, 40% of the traffic is 905'ers who "don't pay taxes in Toronto". What about the other 60%?

We all know Doug Ford is just itching to come in and campaign on a no tolls platform, so I don't really see this being implemented at all.

Let's say the average person commuting from the 905 to 416 gets 500 toll charges per year. They're starting at $2 each time? How long before it goes to $3 or $4? I don't trust them to keep the revenue for transit only. It's just another cash cow for them.

I hate the argument from the city folk saying 905'ers should pay to use their roads. The province funds the TTC infrastructure and that only really functions in the city core. Maybe the province should stop funding that?

Upside is, maybe it encourages more car pooling?
