Most polls show Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives with a commanding lead heading into the June 6 election. If you want transit plans to proceed as they are, there is no one to choose from between Wynne and Ford. On Thursday, he announced he would bring back the money pit Northlander train, to go along with his money pit Toronto subway plans. It’s not that party platforms used to be predictable reflections of rigid ideology, or that we should want them to be. Promises have always been broken, and votes have always been for sale — never more so than in Ontario in 2018.
