Downsview will only be the terminus for another few years. You'd have a mini-riot if you tried to name it after the new terminus.
Vaughan Centre? Haha yeah people would riot.

No... Vaughan Corporate/Metropolitan Centre. Good luck even getting that on the roll sign.
Given that the current arrangements say TTC will own the station, what do you think is going to change between now and the opening?I don't think Toronto will own the Vaughan station. There is significant funding coming from York Region.
I voted for Yellow Line. One of the things I found confusing before I moved to Toronto was how, when getting on at Union, the same line had two different names. Personally, what I'd like to see is sort of a Boston-style system where a station is designated the central point and from there you are either headed inbound or outbound. I think it would work well on the YUS line given it's U-shape. You could designate Union as the central point so that anyone getting on north of Union on either side is either headed outbound to Downsview or Finch or inbound to Union. Likewise, you could designate Yonge Station as that point on the B-D (Green) Line so you're headed inbound toward Yonge or outbound toward Kipling or Kennedy. The Sheppard (Purple) Line, being as short as it is, can just use the existing termini as its directions. Numbers (Line 1, 2, 3, etc.) could also work under this scheme, but I figure since colours have already been attributed to the lines, why confuse matters even more.
As an outsider, I always found it strange how the same line could be called different names just because of the street it's running under, especially Spadina which has the subway only for a few blocks. And referring to the line in it's entirety is a mouthful. That said, I won't be terribly upset if the status quo is maintained.
Should we have a vote on the DRL's colour? I vote we call it the Red Line.
Red is good because it's the color of blood.
And blood will need to be shed before the DRL ever sees the light of day!
*cue dramatic music*
Tell them it's a security trench ...We could just bill the Feds for the DRL
Winning the Olympic Summer games maybe?
which are very likely if
-we don't mess up the Pan Am (This help Rio winning the games for 2012)
-due to Chicago's lost for 2016. By 2020 or 2024, It will be North America's turn and after Atlanta and Salt lake City scandals...
It's looking good for Canada
