Almost everyone, in a vague sense, supports the SE LRT, but not everyone prioritizes it.
For what it's worth though, here's Nenshi's Better Idea on transit.

Of course, this is all beside the fact that the story posted by the thread creator, the one we've been discussing, doesn't mean that any decision has been made one way or the other on the SE LRT. It's just an administration report. Furthermore, all that has happened is that a funding source, that probably could not have been used for the SE LRT project anyway, has been recommended to be used elsewhere. It's not a de-prioritization of the SE LRT project.

I agree with you 100%. I was looking for some information of what Nenshi said about the SE transit solution. Trying to find if he actually said SE LRT would be done.
I voted for him because he didn't give specifics of what he would do. He said he would do proper reviews and make the right choices. For example. The budget. Some candidates were saying that they would lower the tax increase by x percent. While Nenshi said he would review the budget and make the right choices.
So then I would be surprised if he actually said he would get the SE LRT done.
Thanks for the links. I don't see anything specific about him saying the SE LRT would be done. I do see he has some comments about using Buses as part of the solution.
