This doesn't seem to get a lot of push-back, because most people see the good sense behind moving forward with this kind of an approach. The conversations will vary between provinces or in a given city, but I think it's going to be successful, for two main reasons.
One, there's a lot of money being put on the table in exchange for commitments to change certain rules, pursuant to my last answer, that will result in more homes being built.
Second, transit systems don't work if people don't live nearby to use them. If you actually increase density within walking distance to a transit system, you're setting up a system for success that won't require continued support for its operation, because it can be self-financing. If people who use the system live within walking distance of the system, more people will use it.
When you have those ridership numbers climbing up, the ability to fund and maintain the assets within the system will become much easier and the funding will be much more reliable.
