Video Description

Premier Doug Ford is doubling down on his vision to build a tunnel underneath Highway 401, telling reporters that “just because it hasn’t been done, doesn’t mean it can’t be done.” Ford made the comment during an unrelated news conference on Friday when asked to make his pitch on why the tunnel should be included on a list of new “nation-building” projects that Prime Minister Mark Carney hopes to fast track with legislation tabled in the House of Commons earlier in the day. “The 401 is a nightmare, I don’t even have to sell this. You can’t even get around this city and then outside the city when you start going west and you start going east it is jammed everywhere,” the premier said. “It is jammed because the visionaries who built the highway should have thought of this 40 or 50 years ago but we are visionaries and we are going to get it done. We are going to build that tunnel as sure as I am talking to you today.” Ontario has already begun the process of seeking interested parties to help carry out a feasibility study on a potential Highway 401 tunnel, with the deadline for the initial requests for proposals passing just last week.
