"Making stuff up" is synonymous with "lie", no?

OK, but that's a common turn of phrase when people are stating things that are incorrect. It's not a big deal. You're still getting way too worked up about that. You've made 5 posts in a row about it.
Say "I misunderstood. I should have done my homework." and just move on.

There's a huge difference between "what you said is not true" and "you're making things up". One is pointing out an inaccuracy, the other is a making an accusation. People point out inaccuracies on UT all the time. When they've done so in the past, I've never had any issue with it whatsoever. But the reason this bothered me so much was because the was also an accusation about my intent. I can't recall ever having someone here accuse me of lying, or "making things up", before @Adjei just did.
So in other words, my statement was accurate:
"In the board meeting they mentioned that they hired consultants out of London (UK) to tell them how to name the station."
Note that I mentioned that this was the statement of Metrolinx staff (so the statement was not my own thoughts on the matter). Everything after that statement was prefixed by "I assume". Like I said previously, I was only sharing what I recall hearing in the meeting. Your account of the meeting appears to be fully congruent with mine. Nothing was made up.
And I admitted I misunderstood. I just don't want people thinking I'm on this forum trying to mislead them.
Anyways, moving on... I made my point.

One thing I found interesting after watching the Metrolinx board meeting was they justified having weather protection at the stops for the Finch LRT because they said the suburban nature of Finch while Eglinton is more urban hence it doesn't require weather protection. Last I checked the surface stops in Scarborough on Eglinton are as suburban as Finch but they don't have weather protection from the elements at the stops...What gives..

I suspect the real answer is that Eglinton has already been tendered, while Finch West hasn't.

Yeah I was thinking that. Maybe by the time they decided it was something that should be added it was too late. Big oversight though.

Are the Finch LRT stations going to have weird names as well?

Actually, the small street is called "Yore" not "Gore."

Maybe. Depends on if the board sticks to the naming scheme recommendations. The original plan by Metrolinx staff was to apply the whacky naming system to all new lines, but that has to be approved by the board. We'll have a clearer picture in the new year.

Even though they asked the public, the polls that were shown on this forum showed the majority of people did not like the station names Metrolinx was looking at yet they still chose them and those are the names being considered. So basically it did not matter what the public thought.

I prefer Gore. Can we have a Gore Station?

ML listed to some of the feedback, but ignore others. I'm sure the feedback played a role in the decision making process, but Metrolinx staff were going to pick whatever they wanted.
Anyways the Metrolinx Board complained that the names were too local in nature, meaning that the names didn't mean much for people who didn't live in those neighbourhoods. The next round of evaluations should have more recognizable names (Bathurst North, maybe?)
Does anyone know if all the station names are being reevaluated, or is it only the ones the Board brought up in the meeting?
