From the article linked one of the councillors said they wanted to open up a discussion about adding a development charge for transit to the townships, so they aren't commenting out of the blue.
Maybe. From their comments, I'm not convinced. (And having lived in the townships, I don't have a super high opinion of most of the township politicians.) But I don't have hard evidence to the contrary, either.
It's Sean Strickland, who is the head of the region's finance committee.
