And how is it good politics to suddenly stop almost all work on LRT and disband the LRT group when the leader of the group wasn't informed until she got back from vacation. And now she's gone. How does Bob plan on replacing that intellectual capital?

He supported LRT a few years ago, then in the mayoral race he started throwing spanners in the works by suggesting that we start with the A-line instead of the B-line, despite all the work and planning that had gone into the B-line, then it suddenly became "GO Transit" is our number one priority! How is this "Good local support"? With friends like that...

The Liberals haven't reneged yet, they've just acknowledged the mayor's change in priorities. They're probably happy about it, but that's not the same as reneging. In fact now, in the face of an election, would be an excellent time to try and get a commitment out of them.

As far as Setting Sail goes, from what I understand it was Council, not Fred, that made the decision due to an unexpected source of funding for a specific purpose. Had that funding opportunity not arisen, the changes wouldn't have been made. One person didn't make that decision. See the difference?

The abuse that Fred learned of was that of trusting a businessman to act in the best interests of the city instead of his own. Bob Young was involved right from the very beginning and Council voted seven times to approve WH as the location of choice. Again, not unilateral, not abuse by any stretch of the imagination.

I am disappointment in you're grammar.
