I'm puzzled by this. The province has committed to funding 100% of the Relief Line. Unless he's planning to built something more than the 13km Relief Line that the province has committed to building, there's no need for any plan at the municipal level to pay for it.
Yes, he has to have some kind of plan to help pay for the Relief Line as he knows that if the PC party wins the most likely spring election, funding from the Tories may take a long time to come in as they will not raise any taxes or tolls. If the Grits get back in power, then yes, there is a chance the Relief Line will be completely paid for, but it's smart to have a funding plan regardless. As a voter, I want to know how this subway line could be funded and not just be told the province will pay for all of it.
We don't need another broken promise like the free subways slogan Ford ran on in 2010.
