This 407 interchange pic shows how stupid the proposed 413 will be.

All of 413 will be like this: farmland on one side, suburbs on the other. We'll build enough interchanges to match the suburb-side population, but we'll build them symmetrical like this.

We could save money by building most interchanges one-sided: fewer elevated ramps to build. We won't, though. The point is to manufacture demand to develop The Greenbelt.

You know, if the province of #Ontario had kept the #Highway407 instead of selling it (thx, Harris), it would be _paid off_ by now, and it would be handling the traffic that the stupid #Highway413 is intended to alleviate. Instead, we get a new highway we don't need (paid for by tax $$), and the 407 remains criminally underutilized.

What a series of absolutely stupid decisions. Thanks #Conservatives! you jackasses.
