Yes, we need both. The argument for LRT is strong, but it isn't made stronger by the strong-arm tactic of arguing that we'll lose out if we don't act fast (that tactic is usually employed in relation to weak projects). We should proceed with LRT, because it makes sense based on current ridership, projected increases, long-term cost-savings, and increased redevelopment potential (it will strengthen our tax-base). The provincial funding is not a rationale for doing it ... a bad project is still bad project even if it is free (think of all the urban expressways built in the US with federal funds).
