Make it make sense please.

Once the 401 finally gets fully widened from Highway 8 to 410, you'll see it flow better. Until then the bottlenecks where the wider sections in Cambridge and Milton narrow to the old 6 lane 401 will cause backups on busy days when there aren't any collisions or construction projects. I don't see a date for this other than the stretch between the 2 Highway 6 interchanges being a upcoming expansion sometime in the future.
The Kitchener to Guelph freeway (Highway 7) has been delayed for decades and is only going to go to Highway 6. It should be extended to the 413 at some point so you have an alternate route between Waterloo Region and Greater Toronto.
While there have been improvements to the commuter rail network, there's still a ways to go here as well. Getting people out of cars is another way to alleviate congestion. The High Speed Rail projects have all been canned since the 1960s and we really should have one across the Quebec City - Windsor corridor by now (and continuing in the US to Detroit and Chicago).
-Missed opportunity to build some placeholder HSR tracks on Gordie Howe bridge, IMO.
