Part of the reason that the 401/403 is a parking lot is because the 407 is ridicuously expensive. Which, mind you, was supposed to be the 403 in the first place. (ever wonder why the 403 is in 2 parts? That's why)

So let's see. Crown expropriates your land for Provincial highway, then turns around and sells it to a private company that rapes drivers.

That would be like the city annexing your front lawn for new sidewalks and then sells the land to a private company that turns it into a pay parking lot.

I'm not against toll roads, I'm against the gouging. Name me one highway in the US that charges what the 407 does per km. There isn't one.
