Not Canadian, but when I visited my Canadian aunt & uncle a few years back, they told me that a toll bridge from my last visit (Surrey BC) was no longer a toll, and that most toll projects drop the toll after they’re paid for. My experience in the states is that once a road is a toll road, that’s a new tax that’s never going away and often goes into the pockets of international investors. Made me love Canada a little bit more that day.
Also, the Butchart Gardens & Vancouver Island in general give me all the warm fuzzies for Canada. Happy Canada Day y’all!
