As was shown elsewhere on this forum, commuter rail to Kanata would actually result in a longer commute than LRT (because of the long, circuitous route and slow acceleration of commuter rail trains) and would require an additional transfer.
As for Barrhaven, Moose's plan has the station in a location that would be inconvenient for the existing 80,000 residents, so LRT would still be faster.
Orleans and Riverside south would not be served by commuter rail, so LRT would be the only option (assuming the Trillium Line could still be operational).
