It is because those ridings help formed the government that the LRT funding will not come through. If the residents of those areas had wanted LRT they would have voted differently. Part of their vote was to ensure it would not be built.
You're more likely to see #8 doubled in lane capacity before phase #2 LRT gets funded by the province.
I could see the feds step in though. They seem to more than happy to step around the province more and more each week and handing out money directly instead of through or with the province. They did it with the climate fund a few weeks ago, and I could see it happen on other big issues where the feds and province differ on policy (e.g. transit, health/opioid, etc.).
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
