Considering that it is by far the largest "node" in the 905, I would certainly agree with that. If any 905 node deserves a subway, it's MCC. Especially considering the fact that MT's entire rapid transit system is being geared to running through Square One (Transitway, Hurontario LRT).
Although I think honestly at this point the closest thing that MCC will be getting to a subway is an extension of a branch of the Eglinton LRT, upgrading the portion of the Transitway corridor from Martin Grove to MCC (Ottawa will have completed their BRT to LRT conversion by then, so some lessons can be learned).
I don't think the Eglinton LRT comes any closer to MCC than Kipling does.
Err, okay, I checked and it actually is closer from Eglinton & Commerce to MCC (10 km) versus Kipling (12 km). But I still think using Dundas makes more sense, seeing as you would serve Cloverdale, Sherway, and all the businesses along Dundas versus, well, not much of anything on Eglinton East.
Perhaps they could extend the Pearson Rail extension to MCC and have that as a route on the GO system. Also to provide a fast trip to and through west Toronto and downtown.
I really don't think it's feasible (running under the airport? really?)
