Region of Waterloo will receive over $341m in funding for public transit

I think this is new money.

Correct me if I'm wrong, isn't the RoW much larger than City of London? They seem to be getting more money than us. There must be a reason for this.

The money they're getting is for their BRT. They'll be getting $200M from the feds, and $170M from province.

I'd say our local governments aren't fighting hard enough.

The Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo population is 467,000 (doesn't include townships, doesn't include students).
London is 383,000 (doesn't include students).

Just saying...that money we're getting won't go a long way to phase II of the Ion, unless we're getting more money separately for that.
