I get the impression that transit is really popular in Halifax, overall, but that the city council is a bit timid, there isn't much long-term planning, and it doesn't connect well with what the province is doing.
I think something like streetcars would be good too in the long run and councillors at least can look at Toronto as a relatable example.
In the long run the city will probably grow a lot, there will need to be billions in transportation investment, and the sense of what is or isn't beyond the pale is probably going to change. $100M is not a big transit project for a city growing by 20k people per year.
