Ward 38 Councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker has made an astonishing repudiation of the proposed one-stop subway, a project of which he stood as the City’s most ardent supporter. De Baeremaeker was fond of attacking “downtown elites” for concern about the notoriously inefficient One-Stop Wonder proposal. He engaged in heated debate with Councillors like Josh Matlow and Scarborough colleague Paul Ainslie.

But in announcing the end of his 15-year political career at City Hall, De Baeremaeker has told Metroland Media Toronto that in hindsight, he should never have supported the single-stop subway that he and Mayor John Tory spent the past three years defending. Talk about a conversion on the road to Damascus.
