Ford sent the prime minister a letter Monday setting out a series of Ontario priorities that he hopes Carney will address, including accessing critical minerals, building an electric-vehicle supply chain and enacting bail reforms.

At a meeting in March with the premiers, Carney asked them to identify “nation-building projects.” Ford’s letter sets out his list of areas he wants the federal government to prioritize “that would be transformational for Canada’s economy.”

But the “nation-building” project drawing the most attention is a driver and transit tunnel expressway under Highway 401.

    It’s pretty easy to control the air flow inside a tunnel if you install good exhaust fans. Might get a bit wind-tunnel-y for a while, but they should be able to get any toxic fumes out without anyone having to breathe them. A road tunnel needs good ventilation even in non-emergency situations, because the crap ICE vehicles put out in the course of normal operation is going to continue to be an issue for a while yet.
