This is going to be an election issue in both the provincial and municipal elections over the next year and you can be sure that any party provincially that says they are going to raise taxes to pay for these improvements will be soundly defeated. As it is we are probably going to end up with another minority government and given that the NDP and PC's are both opposed to increased taxes for public transit the plan of the current government will not come to fruition unless they find the monies needed from within the current revenue sources.

Less than 20% of the population uses public transit, even in the GTA and I am willing to bet that most of the other 80% don't care about them and have no desire to pay for that 20% to have improved transit.

At the municipal level despite the screaming of a relative few there is very little desire for LRT and it will be a tough sell for council. Most councilors see that and are backing off rather than risk losing their jobs over a single issue.
