PS: If Ford does get his Scarborough Subway plan, like I said earlier, Metrolinx should be disbanded, as they will have lost all credibility.
Given that Ford was very clear when he assumed office that TC was 'dead', that everything was going underground and that the Scarborough subway was his first priority, the flip side of your statement is that Ford will have to be seen to make major concessions.
Whether or not they are rational concessions is separate from the question of whether he would be willing to be seen to make concessions of that magnitude.
Can anyone really see him saying something akin to "you know, after sitting down with people who know a heck of a lot more about transit than I do, I've come to see that their proposal is a far cry better than my catchy one-liners"?
It'd take quite a wordsmith to spin anything but a Scarborough subway first and foremost to STC as an implementation of 'his' plan.
