I am in favour of the downtown tunnel, and intensification but if we want our downtown to thrive, it has to be accessible to a wider portion of the population. A single 11km transit line does not deliver the demographics needed.

Actually, 12.5 km, 20.5 km if you count the O-Train (despite the transfer). And stage 2 will make access to downtown easier. Not for everyone, but for a lot of people. It's not perfect (I would prefer urban subway lines), but it's better than what we currently have.
As for the initial line, even though it will not make it any easier to access downtown, it will make for a much more pleasant place to hang out. Cleaner, quieter, wider sidewalks...
