Rob fords campaign was "cut the gravy, cut the gravy, cut the gravy, cut the gravy, cut the gravy, cut the gravy, cut the gravy cut the gravy, cut the gravy, cut the gravy, and subways subways subways." for every ten times he mentioned cutting the gravy and reducing taxes he threw in making subways. It was not a big part of his election campaign and it was easily lost in the vote for me because you are angry with David Miller and the liberals rhetoric. The few people who did vote based on the subways subways subways platform were promised subways subways subways with no additional taxes and private companies paying the bills. In reality rob ford has agreed he will have to increase taxes to build subways. We are essentially back to the TC plan on three out of the four lines. The PCs can say everyone was part of delaying the transit but in reality one person derailed transit and see few people who wanted to cozy up followed suit. But in the end we are back to where we were with Miller plus the Bloor extension. People for the most part didn't vote for ford based on his transit policy because he didn't have one. People aren't going to vote hudak for his transit policy because he doesn't have one. People vote for these people because they'd rather have a few extra bucks in their pocket then the possibility of increased public transit. At the same time these people will be the first to bitch when they are in their car about to miss their daughters play because nothing got built or when they are trapped like sardines on the Yonge Line because nothing got built and they are late for work. Voting conservative is voting F you to transit.
