Every time I see Hespler Stroad I wince.

That said though, 4.5B is a really big ask. I think I sorta have an understanding as to why it’s so expensive: Stage 1 was already expensive, so using that as a point of reference and inflation, walla; crossing the Grand River requires infrastructure that’s more complex and involved than almost everything we’ve seen in Stage 1; lots of land acquisition, etc. None of these are easy, but man, 4.5B :(
