  1. Wow, that McParland column is an embarrassment. Why can’t he just pick up the phone and learn that the $900 million has been spent on underground infrastructure and brownfield rehabilitation? The investment has restored billions in property value to taxpayers, with the private sector now ready to invest something like $20 billion more in the area. This “waste” is going to net Toronto, Ontario and Canadian taxpayers billions of dollars in dividends in the decades ahead.

    I get conservative. Often I even like conservative. I just can’t stand willful and prideful and destructive ignorance. But I guess valuing the “facts” makes me an elitist these days.
