“At least Canada does it right. You ought to see Illinois’ excuses for toll quality roads.”
The Canadians might take issue with that. They had to go to court just to get a copy of the secret, crony-capitalism contract, Ontario had signed with the company. Then they read it and found out they were TOTALLY SCREWED and the company had complete control of the right-of-way, protection against competition on that right-of-way, and the ability to charge as much as they wanted on that highway (407 ETR).
They weren’t happy, but there is nothing they can do for generations.
And yet Canada gets a nice tollway with a minimum of potholes and construction... wasn’t that the point? Even if paying more than they should for it? Illinois’ tollways were supposed to be free decades ago. And the doggone things are still plagued with destruction.
