John Tory has launched a website which may go down as the slickest piece of political show and tell so far produced in a Canadian election. The interactive site permits users to pick two spots on the transit system — say Agincourt and Union Station. Up come two boxes showing how much time the rider will save if Tory’s Smart Track conversion of the GO track is completed. Another box cleverly lists in distressing detail all the many buses and trains a rider would have to take in order to do the same distance without Smart Track Today, Olivia Chow planted herself on the right of way for Smart Track and warned the scheme would never work without costly tunnelling. Tory has denied he ever said there would be absolutely no tunneling and he accuses of Chow of a desperate distortion.
