I think they'd vote for a green line if a change in the provincial government allowed it, which is good.

Nothing specific right now, which is why I said they seem to stand for some things. It's early so I can appreciate that everyone is just putting out platitudes and are focused on getting their name out there.
But like I said, I believe their mayoral candidate (Brian) and my ward candidate (Alex) have a very positive and progressive stance on things, especially when it comes to transit. Like you said, it looks like they are all in on a big green line.
But like I mentioned, I like their vibe so far and they seem to match my values. So I'm not going to go "You're aligned with other people? NOPE!".
I don't want parties, but they're not going away.
