Btw, Iqbal Halal Foods is renting the space and does not receive any money from land sales. They only found about the expropriation when the yark location was announced.

listening to the live meetings that were held i got the impression Metrolinx was talking to tenants as well not just the landowners, so I believe they are getting assistance in relocation as well, and were informed around the same time as the actual landowners.

If the landlord breaches their contract, which they will be as commercial leases are typically measured in decades, then the tenant will receive non-trivial support to relocate and be made whole. The landlord will pass along those tenant relocation costs to Metrolinx as part of the expropriation process.

Start with the segments with the least controversy and work your way upwards.

If you're imagining then your view doesn't necessarily reflect reality either.
The Star article was fair, given the sources.
What are your sources?
And again, this does not absolve Metrolinx in any way for not consulting with the community. Helping businesses relocate is the bare minimum.
I give them credit, they're great at recycling content.

The historical documents I've looked at do confirm one is Toronto gauge and the other is standard gauge.
But that would mean that from the centre of the outside rail, there's only 3 cm to the centre of the inside rail. I'm not sure if it's an illusion or not - but in the photo that looks wider than that. Though the rails themselves almost look narrower than normal. What do they use now - about 100 lb rail - head width of about 2.75 in? About 7 cm wide
whatever

I could be wrong, but I don't think the tracks gauges are one inside the other. I think each gauge uses a common rail on the outside, and the standard/TTC gauge is based on the distance to which of the pair on the other side they use.
Now, why this configuration is using four rails instead of three, I'm not sure. But if I were laying rail for two separate gauges on the same corridor I'd try to cut my costs by only using three rails.

The gauges are too similar for a common rail; the same issue actually exists with Russian and standard gauge, though in mainline terms you can get clever with 4 rail and get a third narrow gauge out of it (which could actually be relevant if anyone ever starts tying together the African networks).
