My only issue on tolling is it would be nice if it was done across the board.

We have a nice new highway to a ski resort...for free

We have a nice new highway for trucks to use...for free. Furthermore, those trucks are carrying goods, products and services through, not to our province. The end user of a vast majority never paid tax to contribute to the highway at all.

We have the Port Mann at $3 a trip, which I still to this day believe to be excessive in a land of: gas tax. Translink tax. Carbon Tax.

That's my issue right there. I'm not a hippie that was protesting against the gateway project. I'm a person that is starting to say "enough".
