LRT won't be expanding out to those areas outside of the urban boundary for the same reason that MOOSE won't succeed. The routes outside of the urban core do not provide sufficient ridership to make a train a viable option.
You are right that Potvin has no obligation to tell us anything. However, he's very good at putting out press releases with ambitious claims. The fact that those claims never actually come to fruition are never mentioned and all of a sudden it's a big secret. I'm just trying to hold him to account for those things he has said that will happen but don't.

We cant predict investor behavior so to say no serious investor will put money into this is just a guess.
Ottawa-Gatineau just have to cover the LRT route inside the urban boundary which would cover most of what MOOSE wants which would make MOOSE's plans pointless but that will take decades to happen given both city priorities.
All you have done is put down his idea not which is not being objective. I dont care about these plans to be honest because the urban core needs LRT more than people living on the city limits.
