Banhammer Guibeault is one of several competing top reasons why I dislike the Liberal govt. There was no thought put into this policy announcement. The guy could said, "All large road projects should have bus lanes". It would have been particularly more effectively than banning "large" road projects. Edit: There are way better policy tools than banning roads - ever heard of toll or congestion pricing or even improved transit operations?

@dylanc9174 banning roads won't fix anything either this has also been known for years. So don't make talking points for the sake of partisan affiliation. Some Transit expert you are, you can't even think of bus lanes or congestion pricing or road usage tax or tolls - all good policy tools to ensure low car use. Instead you want to support a guy who wants to ban roads - that's extreme and pandering to extremists within the transit community.

@dylanc9174 it is the Fed's fault as well. They pay close to 40-60% of Infrastructure funding. If they are unwilling to pay for transit, then it's pretty dead in the water.
