I think transit funding will probably get dialed back to Harper levels. Say $2B/yr. And probably a 25% federal contribution. That's enough to give suburban MPs some ribbon cuttings. But not enough to substantially move modal share in suburban areas outside TMV (without actual planning changes too).

What about Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton?
