So much BS just from one councillor. Soon we will hear from many more of them in Tuesday's council debate. I don't think I'm ready for it.

Let them BS. It's now at the point where the majority public are 'getting it'. And I have an inkling that the ruse is coming to an end, there's no funding an increasingly, I suspect the Feds aren't going to come through on anything more than what's already pledged ($600,000 or so).
Pagliaro did indeed get her copy into the Star last night, I read it before hitting sack. And it is dynamite:
Tory makes unsubstantiated claims in support of subway plan
How busy will the Scarborough subway extension be?
CBC just got a story up:
Scarborough

Not quite. That chart in the article is highly erroneous, as explained by @innsertnamehere.

That's not the article she got in by the deadline last night. That was the day before.
Here's last night's. as I posted:

I honestly can't fathom how any of them can justify 3.35 billion dollars for a one stop subway. I thought they were supposed to be fiscally responsible?

Sorry to nitpick but...
Coun. Pasternak doesn’t think people should say “one-stop subway.” He says there are 31 stops on Bloor line, so this is a 32-stop subway.

Mammo's motion for money to be redirected to a Sheppard line from Sheppard West to STC lost 36-3. Good.

Well I mean, if we are going to be spending over $4 billion on a suburban subway, I'd rather it be Sheppard to be honest.

Indeed. As a strong proponent of the Scarborough Subway, I cannot in good faith support a one-stop subway that costs nearly $4 billion. That is absolutely ridiculous when so many pressing transit needs exist all across the city.
At this point I'd much rather they shelve the Line 2 extension and redirect the money into Sheppard. Seems like there's more bang for the buck there.

That's more telling about the SSE than it is a vindication of Sheppard if you ask me!

It's sad when Mammolitti has the best proposal.
Just like 5 years ago when Ford came up with the best proposal.

They're eliminating the six-station Line 3, so we should really be calling it a -4 stop subway.Sorry to nitpick but...

Reminder that Tory has firmly chosen that this is the hill he's going to die on:
