The City and the Province need to both stop playing games and get on with this nonsense but in the meantime the need for this project does not stop. Build what is the best option and then hammer the feds and the province for more money all the time. We will have a new Conservative government in power in Ottawa most likely soon and they should be friendly to Calgary. The province can't continue to ignore the needs of the largest city for transportation forever. Do it right and be pragmatic about it.

I have my doubts public transit will be a priority for a federal Conservative gov't.
