The letter the ONDP posted was saying that they want to stop increases of both transit fares and to prevent tolls on driving. Of course car culture has to die, but you have to actually have viable alternatives first before you add a flat tax on driving. The NDP stand on this is the truly progressive stand, trying to argue away the legitimate concerns of people outside of the downtown ignores the very real struggles of many commuters. Id say this debate is not about elitism, so much as a lack of understanding and empathy for people other than yourself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12931504866960555624noreply@blogger.com
