The province only funded it once a route was finalised. I won't pretend to be an expert on how these things are administered, but changing up the project scope would surely ruin the funding decision. There's only one person lying on this subject, and it isn't Nenshi.
I don't believe the Green Line route and technology choice is ideal, IMO, either. But Smith naively thinking he can do a better job than the team which spent years deciding the route is arrogant and dishonest, and would only result in a — ton of work going down the drain and us not getting a new LRT line for years.
If he does get in, I expect he'll have a rude awakening to the reality of the situation which he is currently unaware of (on many things). And will end up backtracking, not that he has presented many policies anyway.
