Great idea! Then Torontonians can pay a toll every time they drive to Markham! People from Belleville can pay a toll every time they drive to Kingston! London people can pay a toll whenever they go to Kitchener! You'll never be able to leave your home municipality ever again without paying a big toll bill! Wonderful!
This kind of tribalism is exactly the wrong type of thinking for our region. North of Steeles, south of Steeles, we're all the same. The 416-elitism needs to die right now if we want to ever become the true global city we want to become. Yes, 416 taxpayers are in a situation where we're paying for roads 905ers drive on. But we also have all the banks that fill our city coffers with tax that draw their employees from the 905 too. Also, the solution to fiscal imbalances between municipalities isn't to throw up more walls, it's to advocate for reform. How about a single GTA regional municipality that Toronto proper can be part of? We need some sort of cross-region unity, we are all one city now.
