people bitch about tolling the port mann because it should never be tolled - our tax dollars should be going towards projects like this, not stupid bike lanes and other hippy bullshit.

there are certain things that government revenue (taxes) should go to - infrastructure (roads), schools, hospitals, fire, police

only after they're all done, do we waste it on stupid green initiatives (which i don't entirely disagree with, but we haven't covered our initial bases yet, that's why i find them stupid)
