Yeah as far as I know there isn't really any reason to be against it on the Gatineau side. Other than maybe preferring a less car focussed use of limited funds.
On the Ottawa you have those against paying for it, like myself, as well as even stronger NIMBY voices so it's never going to go anywhere unless funded entirely by the feds.
As for Sparks Street tunnel. Who is against that? I mean if the feds pay for it all it seems a bit unfair but as an Ottawa resident it's still a net positive if only for the jobs it creates. There would be more opposition to a surface tram but even that will fade away I suspect.
