I always work in teams, and that's more or less the message you also want to convey.
Cities do have to take some responsibility, but the provincial government and the federal government should think about contributing something. Every time a transit line gets cancelled, there are fewer people on buses or trains. Cities are unable to deal with that reality.
You can understand that, given the budget cuts announced recently, it's one minute to midnight for the budgets of each of our cities. It really doesn't make us happy to see that happen.
