</div>Well I will just consider you crazy. Plenty of people are really awful<br>
drivers and should not be allowed to operate cars. As for commuting<br>
100km per day, that's silly too. I think my 40km commute total per day<br>
is already too long.<br>

Mississauga is also a seriously bad case of urban sprawl making any<br>

The fastest transit from the airport to Scarborough could end up being along Highway 7 if Toronto politicians can't agree on a vision for transit going forward...<br>
