“Can you tell me why new exits and entrances can’t be built in the future?”

The future is now. Ask the folks at Cintra, they’re the foreign company who will be managing the thing.

Sky-high gas prices and you have to drive an extra 20 or 30 miles to get home. Sound reasonable?

This foreign-phobia about who manages the road is interesting to me. Do you think Europe has a similar phobia about which company delivers packages and if it’s UPS, DHL, or FedEx?

The sentiment here is that we’re selling America to a foreign country. That’s categorically false, and it’s really no different than having a new Toyota dealership open in your hometown.

Will there be some logistical side effects of the new road? Of course.

The wonderful thing about the free market is that this always gets worked out. People sell stuff that becomes inconvenient to them, and they buy stuff that is convenient.

If the TTC inconveniences some people, they’ll work it out.
