I guess that you do not use the 407 ETR. It was built by the Ontario Government and sold to a private company.
I use the 407 ETR and I have no problems paying. Governments should not be giving handouts.
yuji, my humble donkey cart is prohibited from using the 407 ETR. 
The then conservative Government of Ontario built the 407 highway in 1997 and two years later leased it for 99 years to a private consortium for $3.1 billion.
yuji, I can understand that you would have no problem paying 407 ETR tools, being the proud owner of a Benz. But others do have problems with paying the tolls at the rates stipulated.
According to Wikipedia, "The Ontario provincial government has quarrelled with 407 ETR over toll rates and customer service. On February 2, 2004, the government delivered notice to 407 ETR that they are considered to be in default of their contract because of 407 ETR's decision to raise toll rates without first obtaining the government's permission. The court's initial decision sided with 407 ETR: on July 10, 2004, an independent arbitrator affirmed that 407 ETR has the ability to raise toll rates without first consulting the government. The government filed an appeal of this decision but was overruled by an Ontario Superior Court decision released on January 6, 2005; however, a subsequent ruling by the Ontario Court of Appeal on June 13, 2005 granted the government permission to appeal the decision....Critics have complained that the rising toll rates have made Highway 407 more of a 'luxury' rather than a bypass of existing congested roads as it was initially intended."
Where the Berbice bridge is concerned, the opposition parties are not advocating abolition of tolls, just a reduction to ease the financial burdens of consumers/vehicle owners.
