Premier Wynne has more or less passed the ball (at least publicly) on how to pay for the subway century to a panel of 13 like-minded people. It will be chaired by Anne Golden of Ryerson University. Ms. Golden is a greatly-honoured academic and member of the Liberal Party. She led the United Way of Toronto for many years. The political sensitivity of Ms. Wynne’s decision may be clear to some by the simple reality that the Premier did not herself just say what she’s going to do. At a news conference today at Queen’s Park she did however exhort voters to embrace her own mind-set. “This is a culture shift for this region, it’s a culture shift for the North American context, that people think not in terms of the automobile, they think about transit,” she said. “So we need to make sure that we make the fairest choices possible.” Did you get that? There will be taxes coming.
