Ford is talking about the $5B cost, when it's actually $3B (still 3x more than original estimate). So are we to assume that Ontario was also going to pay for the operational cost as well? I believe here in KW we're paying 100% of the operational costs (which then you have to minus any funds already received from user payments and federal and provincial transfers).
All the cost figures I was able to find said about $1M for the capital costs (construction and running stock, I expect), and that does not appear to have changed significantly. Is the $3M including something like $2M for operations?
The $5.5M number that Mulroney threw out boggles the mind. Apples and watermelons?
