SUPREME CON JOB...

...being perpetrated by left wing hate the car minions of Comrade Miller, cyclists, transit boosters like Metrolinx,  suppliers of transit equipment, construction companies that build transit systems, Timmy Denizens, etc. and they control the scheduling of road repairs so of course these repairs are done during the busiest timesd of the day rather than during quiet times.

Terence Corcoran: Toronto's gridlock is not worth all the hype

Gridlock is allegedly killing our cities. Toronto, by the latest reckonings of the Board of Trade and other pied pipers of traffic doom, might as well be dead.  “Worse than L.A.,” said a headline about a recent ranking that showed the average Toronto commuter spends 80 minutes bogged down in congestion going to and from work. And the costs? Another killer. That 80-minute commute is a $5-billion annual burden to the Canadian economy, according to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development in Paris. Citing the  number — if the OECD says it, it must be true — the Board of Trade called  for “increased investment in public transit and policies that encourage Torontonians to leave their cars behind.” There were no shortages of people taking up these instant talking points. We need tolls on roads, said Mississauga’s Hazel McCallion, to pay for public transit. Toronto Mayor David Miller favours some form of road tolling, too.  Everywhere there’s talk of parking taxes, more transit subsidies, congestion charges, HOT (high-occupancy toll) lanes. But now let us turn to what the congestion numbers really show, which is not what they say they show. Let’s also look at where the numbers came from and why, in truth, they are all really just fabricated fodder from the transit-industrial complex that hovers over urban transportation policy around the world and has all but seized control of Toronto.
