I think you can argue, unfortunately, that these are one and the same. That kissing the ass of the current government provides better transit outcomes than pushing for optimal transit decisions that don't get funded would.
I disagree. Pushing for good transit would gain metrolinx political power, and governments would seek to appear to be in alignment with metrolinx's policies.
