I'll repeat what's already been posted, things tend to cost money. If you're not willing to front the cash, you're going to end up not getting it.
Having the GTA secede from Ontario would do nothing. Do you think that the money recently taken out of transit was to go towards other projects in Ontario? No! It was a result of bailing out the auto companies which have industry in, what do you know, Oshawa and other parts of the GTA.
The GM Bailout for Oshawa is but a pin prick in the 40 year old Transit Infrastructure deficit in the GTA. I noticed that GM is adding a 3rd shift to the Oshawa Plant that should be great for the tax base of the local area & Ontario.
This discussion of the funding framework between the GTA & Ontario is 4 decades old (as far as I can remember) time to end the discussion & make the decision to pursue a divorce !
