That leads us to the fundamental question:
Should we have zero expansion until electrification, or modest expansions in the mean time?

I have to know. Are they ever going to run GO Trains to Hamilton? I always have to transfer onto a GO bus ar Aldershot which I find silly since the GO station in Hamilton has tracks and they run the trains at rush hour.
Why not just run them as if they were part of the schedule?
Local GO bus service could see 800-1,200 riders per day

KITCHENER — The start of GO Transit bus service Saturday between Waterloo Region and the Greater Toronto area was officially kicked off Friday.
Ontario Transportation Minister Jim Bradley told local politicians gathered Friday at the Charles Street bus terminal in downtown Kitchener that between 800 and 1,200 riders are expected to use this expanded service daily.
Buses are scheduled to run between a number of Waterloo Region stops and Milton and Mississauga.
The schedule calls for 11 eastbound buses and 12 westbound on weekdays, to and from Mississauga’s Square One shopping centre. In addition, two daily peak-time trips in each direction will stop at the Milton GO station. From there, riders can connect with GO trains heading to Union Station in downtown Toronto.
Fares to Mississauga Square One are $12.30 per adult each way. Day pass is $24.60. Fares to Union Station are $14.35 per adult each way. Fares for people 65 and older and children up to 12 are half price.

Two new GO train stations will be constructed along the Richmond Hill line just west of Whitchurch-Stouffville.
One station will be on Stouffville Road between Leslie Street and Hwy. 404. The other will be at Bloomington Road between the CN rail corridor and Hwy. 404.

Based on a quick look at Google Maps, both stations would be in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by brush, golf courses and farms. Two more GO stations with massive parking lots and no transit access.
Who says there'll be no transit access? There could easily be feeder busses to pick up the more rural commuters and take them to the Go station. Depending on how they do it, Bloor Station on the Georgetown line could have less "transit access."Based on a quick look at Google Maps, both stations would be in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by brush, golf courses and farms.
