Given the utterly immense amount of funding that would require such a move would seem to be an unbelievably smart move. Yeah, you piss off a handful of suburbanites, but in return you free up enough funding to pay off basically every other person in the city.
I don’t know whether it’s within her power or not.
Regardless, I don’t expect it. The bad projects seem to have an unstoppable momentum (Scarborough subway, Ontario Line), whereas the good ones can be cancelled almost anytime (Scarborough LRT network, Downtown Relief Line).
