Top reasons why building Highway 413 is a very bad idea

There are many reasons why building Hwy 413 would be a disaster for Ontario. 

Top reasons why building Highway 413 is a very bad idea

Now, more than ever, Ontario needs to push back and tell the government to #StopHwy413

The Greenbelt, farms, forests, and waterways are under threat! This destructive highway will cost taxpayers billions of dollars and only help Premier Ford's rich developer friends. It will not help you.

 

Highway 413 would save drivers less than 1 minute, and definitely not the Ontario government’s 30-minute claim. We must stop Highway 413.
