From his latest statement I just read in the spectator: "It means we should be looking to buy the most fuel-efficient vehicle that we possibly can.

"And it means that we should be supporting all of the new kinds of research that we are trying to nurture in Ontario that gets us into a cleaner car, ideally a car that we wean away from oil and gasoline ultimately."

No mention of transit, apparently the private vehicle standard for personal transportation isn't negotiable.

The spec's other main headline was 15 million going to McMaster for auto manufacturing research from the ontario government.
