🇨🇦 Everything you need to know about Toronto's Ontario Line subway project, from cost to timelines

A subway project announced in 2019 with an $11 billion price tag and a 2027 completion date now costs $27.2 billion and won't open until the early 2030s — at the earliest. That's before testing. Metrolinx won't even confirm the cost anymore, which tells you everything. The Eglinton Crosstown took 15 years instead of nine, blew past its budget by $2 billion, and the CEO blamed the private contractor for underestimating complexity. Translation: no one is accountable and no one will be punished. The Ontario Line will shut down the DVP, close the Gardiner, and strangle commuters for a decade while politicians promise 40-minute time savings by 2035.

This is infrastructure policy in a managed-decline state. Costs triple, timelines double, and taxpayers eat it while bureaucrats collect pensions. No inquiry, no consequences, just the next boondoggle.
