Love how you omitted Canada's capital and their rail system of complete failures and fuckups from your list.

That's not a project in progress, so I didn't include it. It's also in a completely different region than the GTA, while all those projects are in the GTHA (except maybe Waterloo).

The original post was about GTA, so I talked about the GTA. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I didn't know they were extending the Confederation Line. As I said, it's a completely different region of the province, and I'm not as familiar with the national capital region. However, I know this statement

5 years ago, there was no rail system

is BS. The Trillium line is over 2 decades old.
