How about that, folks. Truenorth00 and I agree about something!
As for his notion that "it'll be the end of LRT expansion", nah.
Who
financed and built Ottawa's original electric LRT? Government or the private sector?
Who
demolished Ottawa's original electric LRT? Government or the private sector?
Now, as for thinking up ways to motivate higher governments to spend billions of dollars, back when I was on the core drafting team for
Canada's Green Plan, we did conceptualize a mission-critical thing or two in the recommendations that -- 30 years later -- still await serious attention.
