Ford’s PCs took $753,000 in donations from developers for the 413, but won’t say what it’ll cost

Developers along the 413 have donated $753,000 to the Ford Conservatives, but Doug Ford still won’t say what the project will cost Ontarians.

Asked today, Ford again refused to disclose the project’s budget that will take resources away from other crucial projects and won’t improve commute times for Peel region drivers, saying: “The worst thing you can do on a construction site is give an exact dollar figure.”

Recent estimates have put it at $8.6 billion.

Andrea Horwath made it clear where the NDP stands:

“Doug Ford is only building the 413 to help his developer buddies and everyone knows it. People don’t want decisions to be made based on which developer cut Doug Ford’s PCs a cheque. He’s putting his buddies first, no matter the cost.”
