Doesn't currently Bombardier operate the subway trains?

Noooooooooo. TTC does. Not sure where you got that idea from, haha.
Bombarider does operate GO trains though.

Staff, clean, maintain, schedule, dispatch.....
Bombardier has no part of the operation of any part of the TTC.

I just wanted to post this map from this article
I'd say a major flaw with this map is the absence of the existing Line 2 and GO stations.

Mayor John Tory, who signed up last week to run for a second term in the upcoming October election, promised residents of Malvern they would be connected to rapid transit after decades taking the bus.
The only thing this LRT line serves is Mayor Tory's political ambitions. It absolutely should not be serving Malvern.

I agree that the EELRT “extension” to Malvern should not be the primary rapid transit line to serve Malvern. Whether it’s the SSE, SLRT, SELRT, or even FELRT, at least it’s A higher order transit option for Malvern. Though the stop spacing is slightly too close for reliable, fast travel times to downtown (bus to Finch-Kennedy/Agincourt is better) and traveling to STC would be a hilariously stupid detour if one does chose to transfer at Kennedy to go back north.

It's basically a phase 1 of a 2 phase connection which where phase 2 is dependant upon Sheppard being resolved. While not the priority this current line connects to the Pan am Centre/UTSC and acknowledges with more than lip service that Malvern Centre is an important area being integrated as part of the City. Which is far overdue and this is the only opportunity which can be achieved ina timley manner.
I imagine the LRT will likely loop around to to the probable subway loop or extend as a separate line from SCC to Malvern Town Centre in a future phase.

Now that Highway 11 has been upgraded to 4 lanes - all that remains is 4 laning from North Bay to Arnprior. Once complete, this will really connect Toronto to Ottawa.

Nice. I believe that's the most likely solution for the LRT. The subway to Finch you show is interesting as it eliminates the "loop"

Well, in my fantasy, Line 2 Goes to Highway 7 and McCowan.
Finch LRT - Line 6
