Toronto has a system for the express highways. An electronic device in your car that basically proves payment for the toll for that road. Without the device, you get mailed a bill for the toll.
If we're going to go the toll road system i'd like my portion of federal and provincial infrastructure tax money to be directed to the town i live in as opposed to Calgary. I would hate to pay a toll where the money would be going towards something i've already made a contribution to.
