Just a couple of follow up questions because I wasn't paying attention as closely as others:
1. "my statements stand accurate the McCowan corridor was tabled solely by the Liberals at the stage they did " - sorry, which stage?
2. I'm a little confused - Ford wasn't involved in any meaningful discussions but there was an agreement between Rob and Dalton to extend the Crosstown, as LRT, from SCC to the Sheppard Subway? Why would Ford, after becoming Mayor, be okay with LRT as the technology to SCC when he was so passionate on day one for subways? The article I link to below suggests he publicly wanted a subway to the SCC, but maybe there was another intention/deal behind the scenes.
3. How are you defining "following the cancellation" of Transit City? Are you referring to the
December 2, 2010 statement where he said Transit City was "over" (previously I may have quoted him as saying dead but the Star article says he said "over"). By "how the line was destroyed" did you mean "now the line was destroyed"?
I fully realize this is water under the bridge and almost 10 years old now. Completely respect people expressing their points of view just trying to better understand your view compared to what I remember from the timeline. Again, I wasn't having conversations with local Scarborough Liberals or any cabinet Minister or the Premier's office so happy to hear any any all opinion perspective on conversations others may have been involved in at the time. The great thing about some of these UT threads is it can be a living history document since it can be hard to go back and find all the articles from the various media outlets on how various events transpired.
