"Our governemnt should be ashamed."
"TORONTOA class-action lawsuit that claimed a Toronto-area toll route charged an excessive rate of interest on late fees has resulted in a proposed settlement that would reimburse millions of dollars to complainants. A lawyer for drivers who were charged a"
"You had enough of a backbone to lie to our faces about not having the rates raised, but when the company turns you into liers by raising rates, where did you lose your spine to?!?"
"The original rates were more than fair and should be kept there. If this increase stays, look forward to higher user fees in the future. Thats why I avoid the 407."

"I am outraged that International business is more important to the government than the voters in its country. As a taxpayer and a voter I am extremely disturbed that I had to pay for the building and the usage. This must be the most expensive toll highway"
