Patently obvious

Money slated for Toronto transit street cars may not come from the federal government. They are using the need for a quick plan of revitalization to make jobs. The feds promised the money,

Well that's the excuse. Throw in a couple of million bucks extra and things do go faster. Its business that the Cornservatives claim to know and understand.

The real reason for the reversal lies with Thunder Bay. Figure this out. They voted Liveral and for the Gnu Dummercrats.

Of course the Cornservatives did not come out and directly state that they wouldn't fund it. They let everyone hang. They will likely hold Thunder Bay to political ransom if they don't vote for the Cornservatives.

You know them TWNBMB. They were the ones that rescued their buddies on Bay Street who didn't know how to run banks but are employed by the corporate shareholders anyway. They the same government that spends billions smacking down poor turbined headed hill billies instead of funding rescue packages for their very own people.

So the Cornservatives figure not to fund the TTC streetcars til after the next general election which should be about 12 months from now if schedules being what they are. Toronto really doesn't need new street cars. They don't need street cars at all. Street cars congest traffic and are not efficient modes of public transit.

But the Cornservatives need a vote getter in Thumder Bay. The gun registry failed. Coopting the senile Comuzzi into the Cornservative fold did not work. But holding all of Tunder Bay to ransom might work. Worth a try.
