I don't think Tory will use Eglinton. I think north of Eglinton he will want Metrolinx to give up control and operation of the UPX savings billions and years of construction.
Funny how she complains about Union being overcapacity with SmartTracks but doesn't mention how the bus routes she wants to expand won't exceed capacity of the roads using them ie bunching.
Doesn't she have original ideas {except running buses they don't have} of her own on the transit file except attacking everyone else's plans? This is a classic example of desperation, when the only thing you have left to offer is criticism of the candidates. In short, try every low tactic in the book to try to salvage what little of a chance you have left. When politicians start doing this it is a tell tale sign that they themselves feel like the election is over.
Tory is the only option and hope the city has on the transit file or for just good .productive governance for that matter. I like Tory but certainly not enough to work on his campaign. He has, like all of us, his flaws and he certainly is not the kind of leader you would do cartwheels over when he wins...........he simply isn't that exciting or visionary.
Tory is, however, reasonable, open minded, and non-ideological. He is not the kind of person you would fall in love with but nor is he the kind you would hate. He is a very good "middle of the road" kind of person and after the last 3 years that is something Toronto desperately needs. If Toronto is going to get back to work with an effective mayor and council for all files including transit then you must have a mayor who is, and more importantly, not viewed as a mayor that favours one part of the city over the other.
The schism between urban and suburban Toronto has gone from significant to huge to absolutely childish. Chow will always be seen as a downtown elitist and Ford as a suburban bumpkin. Whether you think that is true or even fair is completely irrelevant as it is how they will be viewed by the citizens, press, political pundits. Tory, however, can be accused of a lot of things but being a downtown elitist who would get a nose bleed if they went north of St.Clair or a suburban bumpkin who thinks The Keg is fine dining, is not one of them. Tory will be able to work with a diverse council and decisions, like on transit, will be viewed more for their value than from either a downtown or suburban point of view.
Tory will not be a great leader but he will be a reasonable, thoughtful, and productive one.
