Perhaps the light rail would not extend as far as previously planned. There could be cost overruns. The infrastructure dollar wouldn't go as far. It would be a bit of a political scandal for everyone involved. People would shrug and say, “This is politics as usual”. I hope Ontarians and the rest of Canada don't concede this. I hope that sort of fatigue hasn't set in, and that they're not willing to accept that. I do think that the end effect, particularly in the Ottawa case, would be that the light rail wouldn't extend as far as originally planned.
