Probably because Eglinton West is a fully grade separated extension, meanwhile Crosstown has at grade segments. Its a distinction that creates a pretty silly distinction, but I imagine they're looking at these projects in complete isolation, and in isolation Eglinton West is a subway.

This is the only Eglinton West Subway I will accept.
 
I take it that the courses are conducted in modules and there is a separate module for the operation of the vehicle. why cant they all take that module together and the trainers then stay for their additional training to be instructors? this first batch or operators/trainers will all be coming with zero knowledge of how to drive these lrvs anyways so a combined group could theoretically work for the initial group.
I don't know what the training regimen that Crosslinx has concocted looks like, so I can't speak to it.

But the TTC' has a pretty thorough training program for subway operators, based on their 70+ years of experience operating subways. They are therefore likely inclined to train people "their way" because of this.

That's logical, but I guess the reason is much simpler. ECLRT was a part of multi-line LRT plan, thus it found its place in the Rapid Transit file, and remains there. Eg West was a part of Doug Ford's 4 "subways" plan, and thus ended up in the Subways file.

Once Eg West gets built and is operationally joined to ECLRT, the whole thing will be in one file.
 
I thought it was simply related to the timeframe when they were initiated. Different department.
It was called the "Ontario Subway Program" when announced to fund 4 "subways", not sure if that term still exists within the budget.
 
Then the line better open by next summer. I certainly hope it will.
 
That link does not provide any credibility to the statement you have made. For all intents and purposes, the next election will be in June 2026 barring additional information surfacing prior to that date.
There’s lots of information suggesting that it could happen. They are doing polling about it:

In rebuttal, I offer David Peterson and the Ontario Liberals in 1990, which gave us the Rae NDP which gave us the most influential government (I believe for ill), the Harris PCPO government
