This happened in Ottawa back in 2006 with the canceling of the North-South LRT line. They (Browne and the Tories) are for it as long as the city is for it. The second they can convince the majority of the conservative minded councilors in your city with some kind of political crumb. They will take it and you will have a slim majority against LRT on council and if they are elected bye, bye LRT funding! The federal Conservatives did it to us back in 2006, when they said they would with hold their share of the funding until after the municipal elections. They made sure that many Conservative councilor candidates were well funded and were offered the possibility of federal jobs, if they played ball. They got their wish and the line was cancelled by the then new mayor Larry O'Brien.
