To be honest, I would give the Liberal one more term, so GO RER can move further that no party can cancel it.
Other than Doug Ford, I'm not worried about GO RER with any other candidate. There's votes in the 905. And GO RER can help them win those. If not this election, than the one after. Every line that is 'RER'd' if you will, can get whoever is in power a solid electoral boost in 2022. I'd be far more worried about Toronto's LRTs under the PCs.
Imagine this:
Doug Ford is chosen as leader of the Ontario PC's. He narrowly defeats Kathleen Wynne's Liberals and Andrea Horwath's NDP. His transit plan is "subways, subways, subways," and he halts any work on the Finch West LRT and changes it to a subway. The LRT is currently forecasted to have 2,800 riders pphpd, and a subway built at every major intersection would have possibly less. Line 4 has around 5,000 pphpd. Could there be a chance this (terrible) scenario would happen?
Far more likely is that the LRT simply does not get built. They promise a subway at some point in the future. And then get on to building the Relief Line and Scarborough Subway when they realize that the city won't cooperate on any other subway. Also, they need the DRL to push the real vote getting subway extension: Yonge North.
