Doug and his transit plan get my vote.
I don't care how he funds it. Don't care if he hasn't figured out how to fund it. Looking at the options, they are all full of holes to one degree or another. Chow lost me the second she said she'd reopen the who Scarborough subway debate ( are you kidding me? move on ). Tory's smartrax holds zero appeal for me. Not even sure why, but it feels like a half measure. Can't put my finger on it. And even though I don't see the money for it yet, at least Doug is trying to build subways - so I think that makes up my mind. Cheers!

Yea, but one ( Chow ) wants move backward on resolved issues and kill the SSubway - while the other has this odd vision employing go tracks that I dont' understand on any level. I've never been a huge Doug fan, but what I do know is that they guys has a simple message which makes sense to me. DRL asap. Finish Sheppard. Bury Eglington. Keep SSubway. And Finch I"m indifferent to, but the rest is all pretty damn logical to me.
Now that Ford says the DRL is his top priority, all other Candidates, Councillors and MPPs need to find a new top priority to talk about. None of them actually had the DRL as their top priority so it will not be too hard.
Watch for September and October of 2015. Especially as October 19, 2015 approaches. That's the date of the next federal general election. Whoever wins, they (and others) will be asking for funding for ALL Canadian cities' public transit projects.
You don't care how he funds it? What sort of thinking is that? If there's no funding behind any transit scheme, it doesn't get built.Doug and his transit plan get my vote.

I wonder who would be the best mayor to have to ensure Toronto gets a sizable piece of that pie, be it Harper or Trudeau that wins.

doesn't ms. Chow have the RL as top priority as well? She hasn't proposed anything to be done before it.

I don't think the plans have been worked out to that level of detail yet.Can anyone tell me exactly where the east side "Unilever" "Queen" and "Gerrard" stops are planned to be in the SmartTrack proposal?
Its obvious that the Along-Eglinton portion will get cancelled, and the number of stops up Kennedy will probably be reduced, but I suspect the remainder would get built (and would be useful)
