That's nonsense. The DRL lacked any real political support long before SmartTrack ever existed. Tory's backing was a mile wide and an inch deep; same with Miller & Giambrone. Ford had no interest at all. Even Josh Matlow, supposedly the biggest DRL supporter on council, is far more interested in ranting against the B-D extension than DRL advocacy.SmartTrack has completely undermined political support for the DRL. Tory is still trumpeting the idea that SmartTrack can relieve the Yonge line and be build in only 7 years, so now politicians have yet another excuse to continue ignoring the DRL so that they can go back to pursuing more suburban vanity projects instead.
Bye-bye DRL, nice knowing you.
