In fact, the biggest thing I put on the party right now, is their unwillingness to stand up for their values against their leader. Christine Elliot included.
This is more than a small setback, this is an absolute minimum 4 year extension to an already way too late project. The tech industry won't wait around, the damage of the lack of transportation will already be done. Even if this doesn't serve as a deathblow to transit in general, by serving as a failure, it won't be this area that justifies investment by the time this comes up again.
I have sent in many complaints to the party already. Some of use members do speak up, please dont label all conservative members or pass judgement without knowledge.
As far as your doom and gloom about the future of Tech economic development in our area, I have much more faith in the resiliency and entrepreneurial spirit of our people in the region. We have fought back from the industrial decay and become an area that many other cities envy. Perhaps our success has made us a target by the Ford government to derail some of our success by knowingly reducing the probability of two way GO service. And lets not forget highway 7 to Guelph either. But, we will still prosper, our success is bigger than Ford. He will learn this, I predict by next year he will come around and accept it.
Yes, fair, and I hope I was clear, I mean people who voted for Ford's government.
And for the party, I was referring to MPPs...I should have clarified...those are the ones who I really disagree with now, as they're the ones with the actual power.
As for our economic situation, I do hope you're right...we will see...
