So can you, because it's not happening.Well then if there is a 2013 election, you can stay home and relax.
First-term David Miller campaigned on a Sheppard extension, and lobbied hard for it in 2004 and into '05. Being the good politician he was, Miller certainly accepted Spadina once he realized he was trumped by Queen's Park, Ottawa, and York Region, but he never pushed on his own for Spadina
Miller's call for a DRL study was clearly a reaction to York Region making what appeared to be substantial progress in advancing a Yonge extension into Richmond Hill. It's a complete fiction to say that Miller (or Giambrone) was ever proactive on a DRL.
Fine, but you are basically washing away the fact he did it by saying it was only because of york region. Whatever the reason was he tried and failed in this system. So transit city is born. Being around for as long as you have, you know that Ontario would rather play catch then be proactive. At least he tried.
