That's what I object to. It isn't there money to keep.

If the city says it's their money, it's their money. We elected them to make that decision. The province can say that it was intended to go to taxpayers but the bottom line is they relinquished control of the money. As such, they no longer have a say in what happens to it. And frankly, if the city doesn't keep the money it discredits any future requests the they might make to the province for funds, which would be a really silly thing to do when we need billions in transit infrastructure.
