I'm wondering if the province consulted with Smitherman before making this move given that he is pretty much the candidate to beat in the election. SMitherman might have given the okay because he might have felt these plans weren't going to happen under his watch anyways. If we want to be even more conspiracy-ish, I wouldn't be surprised if the province announces funding for Eglinton after Smitherman champions the need for the line, thereby making him look like the guy who saved at least the biggest part of Transit City. If I'm the province, considering they're all buddy-buddy with Smitherman, I wouldn't want to start things off by pissing him off by pulling significant amounts of funding from out from under him. So I can't imagine him not knowing of this in advance.
