"The mastermind behind the Toronto Tunnel is a hero for our time"

"Has any human ever been as self-actualized as "happy-go-lucky" 22-year-old construction worker Elton McDonald, who explained to the Toronto Sun that building the tunnel was "just something I always wanted to do"? (Who among us could even identify the urge to build a giant, room-size underground chamber in a local wood, much less actually carry it out? I feel no shame in admitting that I could not.)

But Elton McDonald knew. And Elton McDonald had the skill and confidence to make his dream a reality. "I knew I could do it," he told the Sun, describing himself as the "main digger" on the project. (Do we not all yearn, in these soulless modern times, to be the "main digger" on something? On anything? Do we not all secretly fear, deep inside, that we will never amount to more than an associate digger in someone else's tunnel?)"
