On the road to rejecting highway tolls , Kathleen Wynne’s lane changes take the breath away — left turns, right turns, U-turns and wrong turns. For there has never been a better time for road tolls than right now, right here, with a right-wing mayor in charge — leading the charge — in Toronto. The premier is not only betraying her own personal belief in road tolls, but going against her stated conviction that decisions by local municipalities must be respected. Road tolls are not a Bolshevik plot to pick people’s pockets — quite the opposite. A more confident and agile premier could have cast this as entirely Tory’s doing, letting him absorb the suburban barbs — part of the job description for any Toronto mayor.
