Here in Montreal the roads are complete shit, AND, tax on gasoline is near 50%.

THere's only 1 Toll bridge that I know if and its immaculate. Then again, the cost is a whopping $7.00 per trip if you don't have a transponder in your car, and about $3.00 if you do. EV cars pay zero but I can see this changing soon.

If they can figure out a way for everyone to pay just a little for their use, AND make sure 100% of that money goes towards keeping the roads pristine, that would be awesome.
But we already pay taxes for our roads.... Here our roads are created by CalTrans, which is paid for by state taxes. And gas taxes. They are taxing us twice.
