Double-standard much? I think SCC is far more important to reach than Vaughan.

Yes, we can spend precious dollars duplicating an existing rapid transit connection. Or we can spend them actually expanding the network.Double-standard much? I think SCC is far more important to reach than Vaughan.
VCC should be an LRT extension, past YorkU the first phase of an eventual LRT network that replaces the current VIVA system, but we have what we have.
At least that Vaughn subway leads to downtown on the same line and has far apart stations through most of it acting like commuter rail, which is better than a BD extension to replace the SRT since then people would have to sit thru endless stations to even get to the Yonge line.
If funds are scarce or more to the point the willingness to commit funds then maybe do nothing on Sheppard and build more worthwhile lines where it would be assured to be used enough and relieve existing rapid transit lines. Even a 3km line downtown could have a significant impact.
And on a sidenote better to integrate the GO Train into the system. Those on Sheppard can get on at Oriole or Agincourt for a speedy ride downtown without having to bother with the local, and even rapid transit local system as it ideally should be for long distance transit.

Acts like commuter rail? Why not just build commuter rail then... The Barrie line is not that far away, a station there (at hwy 7) would be 20 mins (or less?) from downtown.
By that logic MCC should reachable by downtown via subway as well. Hey I'm fine with that. Especially since there's no existing rail option from MCC to downtown.
