Duly Quoted: David Gunn
“I think they’re wedded to this Sheppard subway public-private partnership idea… I’m afraid some people around [Ford] are locked into the idea that ‘We’ll privatize building this subway to Scarborough, so it won’t cost a cent.’ And they believe it! Holy Toledo!”
—David Gunn, former chief general manager of the TTC (1995–1999), explaining why he may not be as welcome back at the TTC as expected. Last week Gunn was invited to visit Toronto and consult with the TTC on how the agency might trim its budget, but in today’s Globe Gunn indicated that Ford may be having second thoughts, given that Gunn is not on board his gravy subway train to Sheppard.
