I wish people would stop saying there aren't funds for this or that. There are.
Really? You may have noticed that the Drummond report is turning a few heads these days; more heads than transit expansion in Toronto.
Considering that we are on track to ring in a $16 billion deficit - one that could grow to $30.2 billion by 2018 - and that we need to cut provincial spending by 16% just to make sure we don't dig ourselves any deeper, I don't see how we will fund new transit expansion for a generation.
That $8.2 billion is a miraculous one time present with few strings attached. Watching us botch it up on plans that get stupider every time is painful, because I know we will never have an opportunity like this ever again.
