Can politicians shut up? I mean Jesus. The ruling class is not exactly made up of the brightest minds in the country, but the soundbites in this article seem unusually vapid:

We need to have public transit that grows with the needs of our growing city," Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said during Friday's announcement

Ontario's Minister of Transport Prabmeet Sarkaria said the announcement shows what happens when all three levels of government work together.

"We're celebrating a generational, once-in-a-lifetime investment to keep the TTC moving," she said.

Well, which is it, generational or once in a lifetime? And is this an admission that in 10 years when the TR replacements need to be procured there won't be any money coming for them?

And is this an admission that in 10 years when the TR replacements need to be procured there won't be any money coming for them?

And you're happy about that because?...

I get why you think of the T1s as the last "classic" design that you want to keep longer, but it's the first time hearing you say the same thing about the TRs. So one day you'll be saying the same about the future T1 & TR replacements, then?
