Minister says number of cars on Quebec roads should be cut in half

As a car enthusiast, yes, please! I enjoy pleasure cruises on sunny weekends in my summer car, but let's treat it like the luxury it is: expensive, heavily taxed, and not required to get from A-B. These policies and investments would make getting around more pleasant for everyone, and make the road that much more enjoyable to use on recreational occasions. I can assure you that what I love about driving is not from being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, and emitting tons of emissions using fuel whose monetary cost doesn't include externalized costs.

Here's an easy way to do it. Tax everything to do with cars - licenses, registrations, fuel, fluids (oil, transmission, coolant, etc.), tires, and insurance -- and direct 100% of that money into public transit projects - increasing frequency and reliability of existing service, adding new services and routes, and offsetting fees for users. The best transit is cheap, fast, and good.
