On September 28th, 1867, Toronto officially became the capital city of the new Province of Ontario, and universally accepted as the centre of the universe. It was kind of a pity decision since Toronto had recently lost out to Ottawa when the Queen, the one in England, chose the capital for the Province of Canada. Confederation decreed that the Province of Canada would be split with Canada East becoming Quebec, and Canada West would now be known as Ontario. Toronto got the last laugh because the entire country now revolves around the city, at least in the minds of certain provincial politicians who may or may not want all of Canada to pay for a tunnel under #Hwy401.

@paulbusch An amusing thought about Dougy's tunnel is the only way it would make even a particle of sense to build is if it was restricted to EVs.
@JamesHMcLaren
Maybe, if you ignore all the facts and squint at the vision through rose coloured glasses, it might make sense as a mass transit tunnel. But the Eglinton Crosstown, if it ever gets finished, will serve that purpose. It the dumbest thing he's proposed.... SO FAR.
@paulbusch Absolutely, it's completely stupid. I'm just saying the only way it could possibly work is if no ICE vehicles were allowed. The ventilation would be impossible. But still, and this can't be stressed enough, completely stupid idea.
