Exactly TOareafan. Thank you for making that point. We have been having this debate on which level of government should be "funding" transit (i.e. wear the hat of, and getting the scorn for having to raise funds for it) and running around in circles. Is it any wonder we can't get anything built?
Stop with the excuses, grow some balls and get the job done. Building transit cost money, what's so surprising about that - and why shouldn't Toronto and the region pay for it? We need it, we can afford it and frankly we are the loudest about how transit is our god-given right. Time to demonstrate that. Who cares if we have to pay a little extra to extend a subway line where the demand is justifiable? Who cares if one line with marginal benefit doesn't make it on the "priority list" on the first cut? Was opposition to all that worth handing the platter to those whose ultimate position is no new transit, period?
