So it will still be built, but it will only run from Port Credit GO up to Steeles, missing the connection at the Brampton GO station by about 3 kilometres, and the money (~400 Million) goes back to the province. Nice job, Brampton. What a useless endeavour. This CBC article sums it up pretty well:

This reminds me of the Buffalo LRT which was condemned to fail from the get go by virtue of being left a couple of kilometers short of its natural destination, namely the University at Buffalo.
You can conveniently hop in downtown Buffalo on the LRT and take a ride to nowhere you'd like to go.
p.s. Since the money is being returned to the province perhaps someone can suggest to Premier Wynne that certain LRT is ready to go to phase II.
My wife and I use the Buffalo LRT after hockey games to get from First Niagara Centre to the lot where our car is parked. So not completely useless.
