- <b>Cartoon of Frederick Gardiner by James Reidford, the <em>Globe and Mail</em>, July 18, 1957.</b><br /> <br /> During a July 16, 1957 speech to Metro Toronto council, Metro Chairman <a href="http://torontoist.com/2012/02/lampy-versus-big-daddy/">Frederick Gardiner</a> attacked supporters of a Bloor-Danforth subway line. He cited studies that said surface transportation could easily handle short-distance passengers along Bloor Street and that many potential riders would use a Bloor subway to get to destinations to northwest or northeast of downtown.<br /> <br /> Gardiner pushed Metro to support a new subway line based on a “U” pattern, radiating out to the northwest and northeast. The <em>Globe and Mail</em> praised this proposal. “The diagonal subway seems sensible, convenient and not too expensive,” an editorial observed. “Does everything have to be done the stupidest way?”<br />
