A quick google search finds the following 2005 quotes:
"In October 2005, a number of Toronto politicians began a campaign to expand the line northeastward as an alternative for theScarborough RT,"
"One possibility was to scrap the SCARBOROUGH RT altogether and replace it with an extension of the BLOOR-DANFORTH subway, a possibility that Scarborough politicians applauded. "
""I tend to favour extension of the Bloor-Danforth subway out to the Scarborough Town Centre," Moscoe said. "Scarborough really has gotten the raw end of the stick when it comes to public transit. Ridership is huge and service is probably the weakest anywhere.""
I originally thumbed this up because I thought they were all newspaper articles. Though the last quote is reliable obviously, I don't think the first one is. The second from TransitToronto is a bit debatable, but still seems more reliable than GetTorontoMoving. I agree that extending the subway was talked about pre-Transit City, but surely there's a way to look up news articles from that point in time?
Also, I don't want to agree with @Forgotten. But this talk of fairness made me think this thread title should perhaps change to simply Scarborough Subway Extension (planned/funded). That's what's on the books, even if many don't agree with it.
