GRT employees are unlikely to have any more inside information than the members of this forum, though.
This is somewhat true -- but having worked for the government you'd be surprised how quickly words get out. I get a lot on messages in my inbox which is confidential. I had one interesting one that I did want to share, and I asked the sender (one of the high ranking employee in the region) if I could share the info (since I felt it should be shared) and the answer was "no". So I know some things about certain things, but I'm governed by my employment agreement not to share. However, the GRT guys would be under the same employment agreement as me - likely they can not share directly with anyone, but if there is some alluding to things, such as the LRT potential start dates, they might have some merit to what they are saying.
Working firsthand -- when it comes to timelines, they are generally meaningless. Only time it means something is for elections, school bus times, special events and Rangers Hockey (or really, anything at any community centre, pool or arena). Most other things. We just. Don't. Know.
