I imagine there is a LOT of phone calls etc. going on today as Nenshi stated that if there isn't more money from the Feds he was going to pull the plug on it all at some point tomorrow.
Nenshi has actually requested that the Liberals break their funding rules as set out, to make a go of this thing....and even to go ahead with no real understanding of where some of the funding will come from

In his letter to Trudeau, Nenshi insists the point about the inability to match funding has been made many times to federal officials over two years.
Nenshi said options could include Ottawa simply bypassing its matching funding formula, finding other avenues of funding for categories such as security, and using some Green Line costs as matching investment.
The mayor even suggests announcing the funding amounts now and working on the matching issue later.

I think it's on life support now with the power about to be cut off.
In fairness is sounds as if the Liberals changed their minds on some things at the last minute, so not all of this can be laid of the feet of any one level of government, but indeed the whole thing has been a clusterfata from day 1...all under the stewardship of one guy who must not be talked about poorly around these parts.
