He ran a campaign on it. Not expecting everyone to agree with what he was selling but it's a bit odd that people are surprised that he tried to implement what he ran on.The pace of transit implementation in Toronto is largely due to the Fords, who did nothing but slow things down.
If you let go of transit for 1 second, so are the other parties. I vote NDP but they are promising MUCH MUCH more to EVERYONEFord is promising everything to everyone as though he's running for class president in an 80s sitcom.
PC has built subways in the past. It's not an ideology thing. Infrastructure investment in transit is being done by far more right wing extremists governments than the Ontario PC.It would be great if the PC party could speed everything up, but based on his track record there's no reason to believe him.
Harris is one guy. Like Bob Rae is one guy, like Mcguinty and Wynne are... oh wait...
As for Ford track record, he was but 1 councillor with 1 vote. Not much can be done without the majority of council which they didnt have. Let not act dumb here. If Ford was mayor of Montreal, he wasn't even mayor of Toronto, he would have been unstoppable.
Just saying, if he wins a majority, let's see if he follows through with what he promised. I'll judge him on that if he wins.
Note...I'm not voting for him
