ION Phase 2 - Cambridge's Light Rail Transit

Cambridge should have never been a part of this LRT. Especially with the route they are choosing. Just not a very dense population to support this, no universities/college/hospitals along this route. And we should give them their money back.

How much did the region pay for the first phase? Something like $350m (plus yearly expenses) -- this one won't get help from the Federal government unlike before, and if they don't help, neither will the province. We don't have $4.5 billion.
