He had the initiative to sack the Science Centre instead of spending a bit of money to repair it.
Another fail from Ford.He had the initiative to sack the Science Centre instead of spending a bit of money to repair it.
Kathleen Wynne promised to finance the project during the final months of her government, however they did not receive federal funding.False.
Love your posts Kotsy, a valued contributor, but I have to disagree with you here. We need a balance of highways and public transit. Interregional movement, commercial movement of goods etc, need highways and as we go more and more electric, the carbon footprint becomes less of an issue. I think Doug Ford has delivered both. He is spending way more on subways than highways don't forget.Except he builds the wrong things. Building more highways/increasing highway capacity is a terrible idea that just results in more traffic. He also has no respect for nature with his Green Belt plans and the Ontario Place massacre. All this and his stance on bike lanes is completely idiotic. Doug Ford f'n sucks.
The point is that the Liberals ran this province for a long time without getting anything substantial done. They can "commit" all they want. "" and "shovels in the ground" are two very different things. We have shovels in the ground now on 5 major transit projects in the GTA, not including the massive GO Transit investment. I cannot ever remember the Liberals having that level of activity in my 60 years on this planet.Kathleen Wynne promised to finance the project during the final months of her government, however they did not receive federal funding.

At a press conference at the GO Transit Willowbrook maintenance facility Thursday morning, Wynne said the government would partially fund the Downtown Relief Line, the Yonge North subway extension and the Waterfront light rail transit service.
She said the funding was included in her Liberal government’s spring budget, tabled just months before a provincial election. The fiscal blueprint did not specify which infrastructure projects the money would be spent on.
The investment is $9 billion, though Wynne could not say how much was going to each project.
They provided funding in 2016. Design work was 15% complete when Ford canceled it. Another example of Doug Ford wasting public money for no reason.Kathleen Wynne promised to finance the project during the final months of her government, however they did not receive federal funding.
Thanks to the work done before Doug got elected.The fact of the matter is that shovels are in the ground for 5 transit projects in Toronto.
If these transit projects were left up to the city of Toronto to get built, they would never have seen the light of day. You should thank Doug Ford for taking over these projects.Thanks to the work done before Doug got elected.

While I can't speak for everyone, but I am not sure there's enough money to be had to pay me to...If these transit projects were left up to the city of Toronto to get built, they would never have seen the light of day. You should thank Doug Ford for taking over these projects.
Good thing Metrolinx thought the DRL was a priority as well.If these transit projects were left up to the city of Toronto to get built, they would never have seen the light of day. You should thank Doug Ford for taking over these projects.
This is a bit revisionist - especially relating to rapid transit access to Ontario Place / Exhibition.Thanks to the work done before Doug got elected.
