ans billions of those general tax dollars are collected from the automotive industry. From mining ore in Labrador, to mining coal in BC and Alberta, shipping it to the steel mills in Hamilton, trucking it to the parts plants all over Ontario, in turn trucking the parts to assembly plants in Oakville or Alliston or Windsor. Every step of the way is taxed. These are some of the best paying jobs in the province and that means they pay high taxes. All those taxes add up to billions and billions. That is what keeps the governments coffers full and keeps the government bribing and paying to keep the car industry in it's jurisdiction.

Not to mention that every body else uses those subsidized roads, the police, the fire department, transit, bikes and even pedestrians. The automobile industry pays for the roads and then some by the time its all said and done.
