Looking forward to a FRESH START for Toronto
It's a bit interesting that McCuaig specifically mentions Eglinton's Airport/Mississauga connection. Could the Liberals restore some of the cut funding for TC to build the complete Eglinton line (with airport connection) as part of their election platform?
If they can find the money this makes sense as it:
- Maintains the heart of Transit City and solidifes Metrolinx as an agency with clout
- Pacifies Ford in the sense that he can still do a little subway extension on Sheppard or whatever (Plus it keeps him from getting angry at McGuinty and campaigning for Hudak in the fall.)
- Provides the Liberals with some electoral juice in many mid-Toronto ridings, and even Mississauga
Total speculation on my part, but the Ontario Liberals need some big items for their platform this fall, and this could be a good one.
