Subway Lines and Ford Government

ttc: With deeper pockets the province has always been better placed to own the TTC's subway lines but can the Ford government be trusted to upload the service and own up to the costs, Martin Regg Cohn writes, according to The Toronto Star. Bernard Weil / Toronto Star Possessed of big pockets and the big picture, the province has long been better placed to own the TTC's subway lines. For the answer is a foregone conclusion Of course Ontario should do it. Queen's Park has the ability to bankroll and borrow for big capital projects, unlike Toronto's restricted cash flow and perennial shortfalls. With the premier of the day directly accountable for subway expansion, he or she is more likely to fund a future relief line than plead poverty. The linkages in our interconnected megalopolis require us to expand subway planning beyond a Toronto-centric perspective. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
