The usual twisting of opinion to gloss over the legitimate problem of hypocrisy and bias in this City. Lets keep it simple. Do you really disagree the Star on the surface is mainly Liberal leaning, Sun mainly Conservative, Metroland mainly NDP? I mean really? Does this need to be pointed...

You know, it's kinda refreshing with the OL articles that Councillors like Cressy, Layton, Wong Tam, and Matlow are now showcased on issues close to their own respective wards. Nothing was more unfortunate and City dividing then having far outside politicians and media reporters narrate...

I agree most close by the line will always oppose when given the option, but don't thing there is an uprising here by any means. The bulk of people holding those fancy signs outside the OL open house were the same bunch holding the signs with the opposite message in Scarborough a few months ago...

To be more accurate I see this is the 'activist' NDP vs. Ford Conservatives. It's sure as heck looks to be the same activist/union protesters we saw fighting to elevate Scarborough, now fighting to bury the OL. This is completely political and inconsistent. And agree, there is certainly alot...

And before some jump, to be clear these Conservatives are certainly playing politics here as well. They could have expedited both relief and the Line 2 extension if they truly wanted. But at the end of the day these Cons are playing a far better, game of transit politics. These current plans...

We have the same NDP/union activist groups protesting against above ground transit that were a few months ago protesting the opposite. This isn't even about significant outrage from the public, as much as it is trying to find anything to oppose and stick it to the Ford Conservatives. The...

The rise of the Fords would never of happened without Miller and his stances both with unions and transit. One polarizing legacy extreme led to the other. If we could have had a Mayor (instead of Miller) that supported building extension and relief subways, with dedicated bus/BRT feeders and...

Meh ... :confused: The first rendering was nicer. They really needed every last bit of detail to try to recoup some of the damage VHL did to this intersection. Still cant believe 2150 was built in this era. What a legacy

"Anyone who was undecided, expressed doubts or even asked questions was likely to be pilloried by the activists on either side" These political activist groups are a major problem, bulling valid public concerns, suffocating reasonable discussion with polarized views. This will continue to...

Can't go wrong either way and both would be easily supported

I think alot depends on whether the Sheppard extension connects as a spur off the OL or the Sheppard subway stub. Most residents simply want better connectivity to the main infrastructure that exists, up until now that only option here was a heavy rail subway that was originally intended to...

This is what should happen but i also think this is what the Conservative expected and wanted. There are multiple political layers in this move, from a swipe at the sizable Hamilton NDP, to pressuring the Federal Liberals to pony up as I believe the Conservatives wanted the monies above $1B to...

'but the really issue is you don't like the technology.' Seriously? Didnt expect this from you, but its the kinda narrow crap a handful here on UT have tried to corner those who supported a central subway connection with. To be crystal clear I have absolutely zero issue with the LRT...

Entitlement is those Politicians that have great transit infrastructure and subways relentlessly campaigning elections in their far away wards and telling the 'have not' areas what there transit should look like There is nothing really entitled about this specific area of Scarborough requesting...

Again, I don't believe what you have implied is anything close to what Councillor or constituents are saying

It's more like "We want a subway line, but don't want to keep paying for others unless we get our subway line that should have been completed decades ago"

Its clear trolling and baiting. You called me out directly and labeling him as 'my guy'. If you had a question about the project, please just ask without narrowing down to this nonsense. Ford has to own this, we'll see how Hamilton responds going forward as i don't see nearly the same type of...

My guy? Oh I get it. Since support the Scarborough subway so Ford is my guy? Let ignore all 99% of Liberals, NDP and Cons polticians within Scarborough that support SSE for various reasons. Please stop this bully trolling now, as these labels do nothing to allow fair discussion. There is no...

Interesting summary, even when you try to make a case with some decent points you still feel the need go off a personal rant and sadly continue to make things up to try to quash opposing views. Obviously you have no clue where i live, and for that im very thankful given some of your posts. I'd...

*Far more central feeder stop locations and Lawrence and as well now on Sheppard *Far greater attractiveness of the Centre to develop and grow as a future hub directly connected to a main City artery *Far more convenience with 1 less transfer for those heading towards the Core *Approx 5-10...
