LETTER: Vote yes and make Lower Mainland envy of Canada

Dear Editor: OK I can’t take it anymore. If you as a voter in Metro Vancouver don’t vote yes in the transit referendum you are just plain stupid.

Dear Editor:

OK I can’t take it anymore.

If you as a voter in Metro Vancouver don’t vote yes in the transit referendum you are just plain stupid.

I’m sorry to have to say this but as a resident of the Greater Toronto Area where transit is a real mess, you have a once in a lifetime chance to make the Lower Mainland the envy of Canada if not the world.

Oh I know Translink is full of idiots who make way too much money. We have the same with Metrolinx, but focus your anger where it belongs, on Christy Clark and the province; they control the whole show.

And by the way, if Christy Clark was a real leader with vision she would just follow the mayors’ plan and do it, without wasting millions of your hard earned money on a question you are about to tank.

When I visit your area I can travel from YVR to Cap University for $2.75. Guess what a ticket from Toronto Pearson Airport to downtown Toronto using diesel trains is going to cost? $27.50.

Then you have to pay $3 more to get where you really need to go.

Wake up people, it’s 25 cents a day. What can you buy for a quarter? Do the right thing North Shore and vote yes!
