The problem is that they do, like the citizens themselves, understand the plan and know that no system that stops at all the light, has stops every 2 to 3 blocks, and is an endless series of transfers is not rapid transit. It is the TTC that continually insists that TC is rapid transit............just go to their website.
If Torontonians want subways then they should get them, end of story. The taxpayers are the one's who are footing the bill whether provincially or municiple so they are the ones who should make the decision.
In BC the province wanted the new Evergreen Line to be LRT { real LRT like CTrain not a bunch of streetcars like TC} but they took 3 different polls and were shown that a SkyTrain route would be 30% more expensive but the people of Coquitlam resoundingly prefered SkyTrain so that is what is being built. You build systems that people want not City Hall.
I also find the comparison with Smitherman's plan disingenous as Ford's plan is 5 years not 10.
I find it laughable that good old Steve Munroe is making fun of the financing of the project sseing he is a TC backer but it's price managed to soar 50% in 18 short months years before even one shovel was in the ground.
As for this notion that laws have rules about working more than 44 hours well newsflash, I know that. This is why you employ several different tenders to different companies at once. That would not be possible under a union contract.
You write like you're on heavy psychiatric medication.
