The bigger risk for Stage 3 is financing. We are expecting the upper levels of government to pay for it in its entirety. Look what happened with Hamilton LRT when the city had no financial stake in getting it built.

We all know why Hamilton got railroaded. Just look the party affiliations for MPPs from there. Now compare the MPPs that would benefit from Stage 3.

Transit projects should have the 1/3rd model for all of them. 1/3rd federal, 1/3rd provincial and 11/3rd municipal. Doing so shows everyone that all levels are serious about transit.
