That does not prove anything, either way. A large and highly formal system like Toronto's roads department performs repairs on a schedule, and is unlikely to defer it for LRT unless there is a confirmed construction schedule for LRT. Yes that is inefficient in some cases, but it is hard to operate such a large system without following a set of rules.
I expect that if John Tory gets elected, Finch LRT will be built. Tory will not actively push for it, but will co-operate with Metrolinx; and Metrolinx has no reason not to build it with the Liberal government in place.
Resurfacing is just milling the road surface. They take off the old surface and recycle it back to be used as new pavement material. It's better than filling in the potholes, but not as good as a true reconstruction job. See this link. The subsurface or foundation is usually not touched, unless there is utility work involved..
