You are very right, $1B per city towards a transit system could have made the two combined the envy of every other city in North America, and could potentially solve so many issues and improve the quality of life for citizens in so many ways.
I’m pretty far right on the political spectrum but the govt. that okayed spending $2 B so trucks and vehicles can bypass Regina quicker as in 5 minutes quicker deserves to be throttled, no wonder Wall is packing it in, wonder how much he is getting in kickbacks for this.
