Ford promises car-friendly cuts, critics call it a climate setback

Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford is promising to make Ontario’s gas tax cut permanent, scrap tolls on the province-owned section of Highway 407 East, and ban congestion charges on all roads if his party is re-elected.
He claims it will save drivers money, but critics argue it’s a climate setback that fuels congestion and reinforces car dependency.
