Hope you don't count me in that crowd. I think 'sauga could have its own network! Hurontario and Dundas subways!
Right on. I don't think there is anything wrong with disagreement among transit advocates over where transit should be (i.e. subways into the outer suburbs vs Go), but the disconnect comes when one argues for the Spadina/RHC subways essentially because it's approved, funded and being built yet is against subways to 'sauga because it's "way out there". The only significant difference between the two regions is that York wanted and asked for the subway while 'sauga has virtually refused to plan for one. As transit advocates we are free from the politicizing of transit projects and should be evaluating them on merit alone (not potential votes gained, since we have no votes to gain for supporting something) and therefore if a subway to York Region is positive in one's eyes than a subway to MCC should, by logical extension, also be positive.
For the record I disagree with you and believe that an expanded Go network would serve both regions better than a subway would.
