Toronto Sun (SueAnn Levy no less) had a piece on Toronto Parks that's interesting in light of TorontoStar's recent pieces by CatherinePorter.

8 years for link? I think that should be closer to 20 years if you look back at the plans.
And we will get a for-profit (407 style) diesel line which doubles the carbon footprint instead of just letting GO run it. People still have not clued in to what a waste of money and resources this is.
I would love to see the SNC Lavlin contract and how about the tiny piece of land that Lavlin owns that stops GO from doing what should be their responsibility. When it gets built then everybody will go "How did this happen".
Go Electric, and go GO.
