Funding roads (taxes, user fees etc)
I didn't say that the system was perfect, but it would be a start. It would also address some of the concerns for drivers that didn't want every last trip recorded. It would also be easier for cars that didn't have the capability to have their movements recorded. If you wanted more detailed recorded driving (and taxing), send a way for a transponder like with the 407.

If there are perennial out-of-country drivers (such as snowbirds), add a caveat where you indicate the time spent out of the country. Maybe the math could look like this: [KM driven / (365 driving days - 50 out of country driving days)] * tax rate.
