It would seem pretty dumb to not provide enough social workers if there are people in dire need of help, but that's an argument for another thread.
Maybe it's time to jack up the fuel tax. It has gone up once in the last 21 years... from 11.5 to 14 cents a litre back in 2012. Considering the pump price of fuel has almost tripled in that time, a tax of 25 to 35 cents a litre would seem more reasonable. That would certainly help pay for road improvements while simultaneously reducing demand for road space by encouraging people to drive less.
