Convincing Canadians to adopt more taxes and higher fees is an almost impossible endeavor. Government officials and politicians are unlikely to propose a plan that involves citizens giving more of their income to the government.
Unfortunately for Canadians, it might be time to adopt toll roads. By installing tollbooths along the roads of major cities, drivers will be forced to consider how long their commute is. They may respond by choosing to live closer to work or elect to travel during off-peak hours. Despite criticisms to the contrary, Canada should install tollbooths in their major cities.
