Seems to me no matter how much we spend on transit upgrades we will always need more.
We do not have a stadium so lets spend on that and then we can get back to transit upgrades.
I disagree that public transit is a bottomless pit. As any growing city that desires to grow sustainably, periodic investments in transit will be needed.

Halifax needs transit oriented development. It would do wonders for bringing density.

I understand that people are hungry for a stadium. Perhaps the city can invest in a stadium and transit concurrently, although I don't see that as likely. At the very least, we need to be having a transit discussion. It is the most vitally needed for the city's growth.

With more growth...comes an eventual stadium.
