But should we continue to socialize the cost of roads and not other forms of transportation. Like rail for example? Maybe put Federal Dollars for short-lines and subsidize CP and CN expansion instead?
We are a province that spends huge amounts of money trying to maintain highways built for a much different spread of population. It might not be sustainable to just keep building more and more roads. It is a long term issue that no one wants to talk about, and frankly I am glad someone had the courage to bring it up.
I am not even sure if it is the right way to go, but again, I am really glad someone is starting the discussion. However, it seems like not many people want to talk about it yet.
