$60Bn for a 50km tunnel. Won't be finished until AT LEAST 2060, likely 2075.
It's SO far from being functional that electromagnetic hover cars will be dominate by the time this is done and will be instantly useless.
It'd be a $60bn tunnel for #Onpoli homeless.

NEW - PC leader Doug Ford has previously announced his intention to go ahead with his plan to build a tunnel under the 401, but hasn’t announced what it would cost. Today under requesting from @CBCQueensPark Ford suggested he would be willing to spend $60 billion taxpayer dollars

In @fordnation neighborhood a married couple, one on #ODSP and spouse on CPP and OAS, make too much. In fact, we make 300 dollars less, so last year, I lost the financial benefits but retain the drug benefit with @ONSocialService. Today I was informed I don't qualify for the

Who voted for that?

Mike asks Ford if he thinks it is okay for people to be forced to live in legislative poverty. "How can you sleep at night knowing that people with disabilities can't even sleep at night?" All three opposition leaders promised to double ODSP.

Ford's disrespect for folks on ODSP is nothing new.
He has had the power to help people on ODSP for seven years and refused to lift a finger.

Ford is asked about opposition pledging to double ODSP, he says way to take care of people is protecting economy and creating jobs - says he doesn’t mind taking care of people on Ontario works but slams “healthy young ppl sitting on the couch watching the Flinstones” #onpoli

Keeping people healthy starts with getting them the basics, and that is why as Premier, I would double ODSP. Permanently.
