Morning Brew: January 29th, 2007

Your morning news roundup for Monday January 29th, 2007:

The over-priced, privately-owned 407 Express Toll Route has plans to begin offering gas and usage discounts to loyal, heavy users. I wonder if charges for giving birth to babies on the side of the highway are found in the fine print?
