Yeah, but it doesn't work that way. You said yourself that it was a pork motivated project. It's not like the deferral of this project magically means that Flaherty will announce some other project costing the same amount of money that is deemed preferable. I'd obviously benefit a great deal from new train service to Waterloo Region and I'd probably never ride the train to Peterborough. I'd like to see both services built. If Peterborough gets built before Waterloo, that's just the way it goes.
unimaginative, perhaps?
Omigod! You're so clever!
Not so clever maybe, but I do have the imagination to see that a project that fails the cost-benefit test so dramatically could never be in our interests as residents of the region, as federal taxpayers, or as transit advocates who have a hard enough time making the case for rail, even without white elephants like this around.
