What do you expect, it's very obvious how some align. It's ridiculous. All this complaining and moaning for Stage 3 as if the provincial government and federal government are clamoring to provide us an alternative project. It's very clear if we don't get Stage 3, we aren't getting a better alternative either. Stage 3 brings us connectivity to a majority of the city and major hubs, it's going to benefit Ottawa far more than not. BUT BARRHAVEN AND KANATA BAD! Instead, Stage 3 looks to help improve those areas with better fixes along those new stations.. but no one wants to have that conversation.

I remember as well.
