    A new poll conducted by Liaison Strategies indicates strong public opposition to Ontario's proposed Highway 401 tunnel, despite the Progressive Conservatives leading in provincial voting intentions. The survey shows that only Progressive Conservative voters support the project, according to David Valentin of Liaison Strategies. This finding highlights significant disagreement between public opinion and political support for the infrastructure proposal.
