Bridge tolls – I don’t know what the fuss is all about.
We in Surrey are happy to pay for bridges and highways so that our social betters don’t have to.
Toll the Lion’s Gate? Toll the Second Narrows? These are outrageous ideas, which might harm the business leaders from whom our meager incomes trickle down.
And the worst idea – toll the road to Whistler where our betters go to relax.
No, we in Surrey are happy to pay our tolls. Throughout history the peasants have always paid to make things easy for the kings and their ladies.
Some cheap, irresponsible drivers will avoid tolls by clogging up our neighbourhoods in Surrey and New West as they honk their way onto the Pattullo or the Alex Fraser bridges. They should remember our premiers, Gordon Campbell and Christy Clark, who set things up so we in Surrey could assume our proper role in life – to be the payers of tolls.
