The amount of work that's gone into the Go network is actually quite significant, but work on active rail lines is very slow. Much of it was started under Wynne (transit was always a top priority for her), but it's exactly the sort of long term infrastructure work that governments rarely do because they won't get credit for it. By the time the project is done the government that started the project is long gone.
This is an award of a major contract, so it's more than just proposals and promises. I agree they could have done things faster, but lets not pretend this is just another study either. The fact that North American governments are so slow to build infrastructure is a real problem, but it's not just an Ontario problem.
