I don't think that's the case at all ("are just trying to take revenge") I think the bigger concern is that we don't spend all our money here that there wont be anything left and we will see constant delays for the DRL. It wont matter if Scarborough has a direct connection if there is no DRL at pape to help alleviate the stress at yonge.
Opponents of SSE make two types of statements that, IMO, are mutually exclusive:
1) SSE costs too much; let's spend the same amount on Scarborough transit but build a different kind of system.
2) SSE costs too much; meanwhile we need money for DRL.
Noone can spend same funds twice. Either all money would be spend in Scarborough, and then still nothing left for DRL. Or, some of the money could be redirected to DRL, and then there isn't same amount for Scarborough.
It would be nice to read how the opponents would actually spend the extra funds if they were diverted from SSE.
Also I don't understand how it was acceptable for people to basically make false lies to derail the fully funded, contract signed SLRT (it isn't grade separated according to our former best mayor ever) years ago but today we are simply supposed to go ahead because somehow we have crossed an imaginary line of no return. Or is it that the line of no return only exists when it is in alignment with ones preferred plan.
Sorry, that sound like the logic of hurt feelings, not best choices. Some bad guys derailed "our" SLRT, therefore let's derail "their" subway.
