Now that moron is promising to turn this into a subway if elected.
Subways for all! Subways on every street! No tax increases or waiting in the cold for a bus!

The very moment he "won" the BD subway extension for Scarborough he announced that he was moving on to Sheppard East and Finch to make sure those were subways too.
Aside from the aspect of poor transit planning (IMO) the changing of the RT replacement from LRT to subway was just the first round in a multi-round fight. With he, and the Minister of Transportation, saying publicly that LRT represented a 2nd class transit solution, it is not hard to imagine that few people (and the politicians that represent them) will easily settle for LRT over subway now.
I really hope that the Finch LRT gets built.
I get a headache every time I think about how dumbed down transit planning has become, and how little the politicians know about transit. We're trusting people to make decisions about things they are unable to comprehend...
How does Zurich/Vancouver/Amsterdam/(insert city that isn't Toronto) get transit planning right?
During the recent council meeting, one councillor didn't even know what the Relief Line was. They really don't know the basics of transit.
These are the people making decisions!
China elects engineers (really, most senior party members are engineers). Democracies tend to elect people with good personalities.

Well, the obvious point is that China doesn't "elect" anyone, in the democratic sense of that word.
Not in a general election. Internal party politics at the grass-roots level are not dissimilar to how Canadians decide on who represents any given party in any given riding; party members take part, some with experience have more influence, but nearly anybody can become a party member.
For many regions in Canada, we're not much different. If you get Liberal nomination in Toronto Center then you win; or Conservative nomination in Calgary you win. The general election is a formality.
