Anyone who thinks using…

Anyone who thinks using resources to remove transportation options in a busy, growing, and infrastructurally underserved metropolitan area is clearly demonstrating their complete ignorance on the topic of alleviating Toronto’s traffic issues. Prabmeet Sarkaria is just such a person demonstrating his incompetence by publicly promoting precisely this belief.

If Sarkaria believes in data-driven policy (which he should), he should read the data on the concept of induced demand, which is frankly something any transit minister should already be well aware of this many months on the job, appointee or not.

The provincial government should not be overreaching and meddling in metropolitan affairs like this, it’s unbecoming, counterproductive and wasteful of public resources.
