I only open up "The Sun" to look at the sunshine girl. I consider myself a fairly centre guy when it comes to politics.
But what exactly does Metrolinx do that the MTO couldn't do?
In the end Metrolinx could spend months, and even years planning a project and then Kathleen Wynne could walk in and tell them to scrap it and focus on something else, and they would have no choice but to do it.
The board at Metrolinx gets paid a lot of money (our tax dollars) just to discuss potential projects and make suggestions, but not actually build anything.
A panel to review another panel's work? Ridiculous! Toronto transit has become a circus show. More people getting paid on the public's dime and nothing getting built.
I see the issue here. More tax dollars are being spent on discussing transit then actually constructing transit.
I'm fed up!
What are you talking about? They were ask by the province to come with some recommendations for revenue tools, and they did that. Or do you want Metrolinx to go and draft legislation to increase the sales tax? Last time I checked the provincial government is the one that decides to increase taxes, not Metrolinx.
I can't take you serious if you say Metrolinx is not building anything? Go on their website, they have a list of projects they are building. If you want them to build more, they need money. Or are they supposed to now build projects when the money is not there.
People will complain about anything.
