Thanks Metro News for reporting on our concerns with the provincial budget. We really do need more funding for the TTC now. Read the report here. We're on page 6.
Brenda Thompson and I (Jess) went and watched the ON Government's speech about
this year's provincial budget at Queen's Park on Thursday. So what did we get?
The short answer is nothing now, the long answer is below.
| TTC Chair Josh Colle has so little faith in the TTC's handling of the Spadina Subway Extension, he thinks public-private-partnerships (P3s) are the way to build future infrastructure projects like the Scarborough Subway. |

On Monday April 27, join us at bus, street car, and subway stops across Toronto to encourage our provincial elected officials to ride public transit and fairly fund the TTC. We deserve more service and lower fares.

How much longer will we put up with this type of service? Tell Council to Build the LRT now ![/caption]
It looks like our friends at City Council are at it again. Councillors Giorgio Mammoliti and Jim Karygiannis are looking to re-introduce their motion EX.4.14 to cancel the Finch LRT and build the Scarborough Subway instead of a fully provincially-funded LRT. Next Wednesday March 25th, it will be introduced at Executive Committee.
