"The premier designate has stated that McCallion’s repeated emphasis on relieving gridlock throughout the GTA has hit home."

If the province is prioritizing based on easing gridlock that is damaging economic productivity in the largest city in the country, Hamilton’s rapid transit needs may not be seen as a short-term spending priority.

Consensus seems to be that the GTA has gridlock...

... and that Hamilton doesn’t have gridlock.

My sense is that Hamilton doesn’t contribute to GTA gridlock except for those travelling outside of the city for business or pleasure. And for those people we have Lakeshore West Electrification and all-day, two way GO.

This might be the official math. A guess, anyway.
