If the stations bit is true…2030. At any rate, that’s wild.
Metrolinx should refuse possession and nail Crosslinx to the wall.

I would definitely take these rumors with a grain of salt. The first one, that undersized rails were installed, is egregious if true.

Lots of speculation on reddit threads about a station being flooded entirely and/or a sinkhole developed at Mt Pleasant. Also the moon landing was fake.

Im under the impression that any massive issues would have been leaked to the media by now. Even Canada's spy agency can't keep people from going to the press. Do we really think Metrolinx has better opsec than CSIS? 
The reddit thread sounds like the usual job site gossip which happens on every site I have ever been on.
Trades hear something and talk among themselves and to other trades and it turns into a big game of telephone. The original issue at hand is lost in translation, and becomes something much more dramatic.

If there isn't a massive issue, then the government obstructing FOI requests are a bit odd.

I was a bit surprised crossing it at Victoria Park the other day, and seeing them use on of those bars to measure the distance between the closest westbound and eastbound tracks.
No one would care that it is too wide. Does that mean they are concerned it's too narrow!

I heard the monoslab at Eglinton is cracked and would require the entire station box be excavated to re-pour it.

Metrolinx should squash the rumours and provide an update.

This is really Toronto's version of the Berlin airport. Sitting basically complete for years but unable to open due to various issues. They ended up opening 9 years late.

I guess they are still pointing fingers. ML gave bad specs (cause they never built a subway before) vs Crosslinx (who is hired cause they are suppose to be the experts follow ML's bad specs). Now no one wants to talk about it.
Maybe the line will never open and all they are doing are stall tactics till the next election.

What's that line that my buddies in the media say? "If you don't hear a good rumour by noon, start one."?
That seems applicable here.

Like Cinicinatti's tunnel to nowhere.
Or, if your premise is correct, Queen's Park may decide that the Crosstown is too big to fail and infinite funds will be allocated to get it running. As such the Crosstown will be province's greatest example of sunk cost fallacy. The ultimate gravy train.
