Doug Ford to reveal transit plan for Toronto without the city's mayor
Premier Doug Ford speaks during the official launch of the new Toyota Rav 4 production line at the company's plant in Cambridge, Ont. on March 29, 2019.
Ford and Transport Minister Jeff Yurek will outline the $28.5-billion plan at Willowbrook Yard in southern Etobicoke this morning. He promised that the investments will help Ontarians get from"Point A to Point B," whether they're using transit or driving. Toronto Mayor John Tory has said he will not be attending the announcement because he doesn't know what the province plans to unveil."I just don't think it's prudent for me as the head of the council and the mayor of Toronto to go to announcements where I'm not fully informed and stand there because my appearance there can lead to the impression that I support the announcement," he said Tuesday.
