This is an unsupportable statement, given that we are still waiting for a funding plan from Metrolinx for future projects. We have NO idea how these projects will be paid for, so it is certainly possible that money for a given project might come from Toronto residents. Further, regardless of the plan, we will likely have a roughly fixed pot of money available, so adding a line means less money in other areas.Either way, that portion of the plan was put in as an "if Mississauga wants it". It's not an integral part of the plan, and it hasn't really been factored into any of the budgeting items that Toronto will have to pay. So if unless you live in Mississauga, you shouldn't really be complaining about the expense, seeing as how it won't be your city paying for it anyways.
The idea that each municipality is solely responsible for its large scale projects is one of the very things that Metrolinx was set up to eliminate.
