Just curious, would all of you prefer that the government not fund transit projects at all? You can't have your cake and eat it too. If the government wasn't funding these Harper would be bemoaned for
not supporting transit...when Harper funds transit before an election he's
clearly doing it for votes. You guys will never be pleased.
Re; SkahHigh, this funding in Calgary comes days following the government announcing it will fund Phase 2 in Ottawa, which isn't necessarily a kind place to Conservative interests in the 2015 election. This doesn't mention funding in Toronto which the Conservatives do appallingly bad in (they only hold GTA seats).
Re; osmo, which ridings are you referring to? Again, increased transit in Calgary, Ottawa, and earlier Toronto seems to make sense. Correct me if i'm wrong.
