On GO-Metrolinx, what’s with the Globe headling framing it as specifically a McGuinty-Miller conflict? I would be less surprised to see that angle in The Star, but not in the ostensibly less local paper.
It will be interesting to see how tomorrow’s commute pans out, with the TTC charging regular parking rates to Metropass holders. The north corridors (North York, York Region) will feel this the hardest since GO service is appalling north of the city, and the Yonge-Spadina lines have been designed for medium to long haul commutes.
If you have to drive into Toronto tomorrow, especially from the north, leave early, because we could witness a gridlock armageddon of epic proportions…
