As for where the funding would come from, well the three levels of government will either move enough money around to finance the project or it will not be biult. We can't really comment on it because we have no idea what budget constraints will exist (or even who will be in power at the various levels) when financing of the project comes up for debate, which will not be for at least five years.

Well the feds just upped the 'new deal for cities' again, and the Liberals will be pressured into giving more aswell.
Since the tory's didn't bring out dedicated mass transit funding, in the next election it should come from either Libs or Cons as part of Green plan.
