US EditionFord asks Carney to prioritize ‘nation-building’ projects including Highway 401 tunnel
- Ontario Premier Doug Ford sent Mark Carney a letter on May 5, 2025, urging support to build a 60-kilometre tunnel under Highway 401.
- Ford's letter follows a March premiers meeting where Carney asked for identification of nation-building projects that could streamline approvals.
- The letter highlights additional Ontario priorities for federal focus, including advancing mineral extraction projects in the Ring of Fire, expanding nuclear power capacity, increasing GO train services, and developing a new deep-water port in James Bay.
- Experts estimate the tunnel could cost $60 billion to $120 billion and take decades to build, while opposition critics call it a costly 'vanity project' unlikely to ease gridlock.
- Ford pledged to build the tunnel regardless of challenges and seeks federal cooperation to prioritize these projects and repeal Bill C-69 environmental review law.
