"No more backroom deals." Doug Ford, August 16, 2018

https://www.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1349341

The secret Metrolinx documents also confirmed that the province secretly hired Michael Schabas to oversee the new line and leaked details of Ford's transit plans to the Toronto Sun the day before his announcement.

Another negative article from the Toronto Star about this line..

I’m sorry, did you expect the media to get down on their knees for Doug Ford?

Direct your angst towards the government that has decided to make all these decisions in secret. If the government doesn’t want the media snooping around, they oughta not conduct themselves as if they’re engaging in shady backroom dealing. You really expect the media just to look the other way on that?

Secrecy. Why all this secrecy? It’s a bloody subway line.

This is the same guy that proposed SmartTrack, and suggested it would eliminate the need for the DRL. Not exactly confidence inspiring :confused:

Truer words have never been spoke..

Whatever you think about the merits of light vs. heavy or tunneled/elevated/at-grade, there's been ample speculation both in the media and on this forum that the plan was rapidly thrown together. As the article puts it, scribbled on the back of a napkin. This article confirms these rumors with not just "it's obvious" but internal documents.

This guy sounds like a certain monorail salesman ?

More ill-informed, generalization without intellectual foundation is what was spoken, and what you posted.
