Statement by Roland Dube
There are many arguments made against LRT. Mainly the capital cost and the lack of population density to support LRT. That said it seems to be a very short sighted and a selfish position. At some point in the future, population will grow to a density level that will satisfy those opposing LRT today. By that time the capital cost will be even more unattainable placing the burden on our children and grand children.
To be completely cynical, government at all levels waste 100's of millions and billions of tax dollars on a regular basis with little accountability and nothing tangible to show for the waste. I would prefer government waste our tax dollars on tangible assets like infrastructure and LRT so at least we can see our tax dollars carrying tax payers down the road.
Basically government screws up all the time but to the benefit of a very elite few. I am perfectly ok with government screwing up in favour of the everyday citizen. Besides the elite will get there money from building and consulting so everyone will win with this LRT screw up!
It would be nice to be able to point at something and say "Hey there goes my taxes"
