Everyone wants the new TTC subway cars to be made in Canada. So why are Ottawa and city hall butting heads over them?

Toronto Star17-07-2025
All three levels of government agree that the badly needed new subway cars for Line 2 should be made in Canada, but the project to replace the TTC trains has been stalled for weeks over an apparent misunderstanding between city hall and Ottawa.
A letter obtained by the Star dated June 23, written by federal Housing and Infrastructure Minister Gregor Robertson to Mayor Olivia Chow, notes that it had become 'apparent' that both Toronto and the Ontario government were seeking to ensure the contract for the project would allow the cars to be built within the country, leaving the TTC to change its procurement plans.

Let's fix it: Old City Hall has finally reopened. What's next for the Toronto landmark?

By Contributing Columnist Shawn Micallef is a Toronto-based writer and a freelance contributing columnist for the Star. Follow him on Bluesky: @ The short block of Queen Street between Yonge and Bay Streets is having a tough time. Prominent, both a crossroads and a destination, it's closed for Ontario Line construction, forcing streetcars to detour while pedestrians scuttle through narrow passages. On top of that, the block is bookended by two massive historic buildings sitting empty. The demise of the Hudson Bay flagship store is keenly felt here and its absence is like a hole in the downtown fabric. At the other end of the block, Old City Hall remains grand but it, too, is empty of purpose now that the provincial courts moved to their new building behind New City Hall.

Sorry, speed cameras aren't the problem

A spectre is haunting Canadian roads: the real prospect of actually having to pay a fine for not respecting the speed limit. As speed cameras proliferate, particularly in Ontario, some drivers are showing their displeasure. Many of the cameras have been vandalized and one in Toronto cut down six times. It's time for a deep breath. Speed cameras shouldn't disappear, they should multiply. The cameras are effective and, because their penalty is so easily avoided, they are fair. In fact, a recent poll for CAA showed majority support among Ontarians for the cameras. Politicians who pander to the minority of drivers who hate them are gambling with public safety. Those politicians span the ideological spectrum, from Ontario's Progressive Conservative Premier Doug Ford to former Ontario Liberal leader Steven Del Duca, now mayor of suburban Vaughan, and left-leaning Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow. So busy trying to placate drivers, these politicians ignore that speed cameras work. The hit in the wallet is sufficiently unpleasant that it convinces people to slow down. For evidence, consider that the number of tickets issued by any given camera typically goes down over time. That effect has been further demonstrated by research from a hospital and university in Toronto. According to their findings, referenced in a recent city staff report, the proportion of vehicles speeding went down 45 per cent after cameras were installed near schools and in high-collision areas. The cameras actually generate relatively little revenue, after administrative costs are deducted. Their effect on behaviour is more important than the money. Fines lead to slower driving, and less speeding equals fewer injured or dead people. That's because speed is dangerous. The brain has limits on how fast it can process information taken in from peripheral vision. So a driver going more quickly experiences a literal narrowing of their vision, making it harder to spot possible risks in time. And the distance needed to brake goes up dramatically with speed, doubling between 30 and 50 kilometres an hour. Both of those factors make a collision more likely. And if one does occur, speed will make it worse. A person hit by a vehicle travelling at 30 kilometres an hour has a 90-per-cent chance of surviving. Increase the speed to 40 kilometres an hour, though, and the survival rate drops to 60 per cent. A person hit at 50 kilometres an hour has only a 20-per-cent chance of living. Mr. Ford may commiserate with drivers 'getting dinged' for going '10 kilometres over,' but small increases in speed matter. So keep the cameras, even though there are aspects of the policy over which reasonable people can disagree. Cities tend to be cagey about how much over the limit a driver has to be going to be issued a ticket. There will be absolutists on either side – claiming that any violation is worth ticketing, or that everyone speeds and thus a big buffer is warranted – but the best solution is location-specific. Speed increases make a much bigger difference on a quiet residential street than on a highway. Another contentious point is the extent to which drivers should be warned about speed cameras. Ms. Chow called earlier this year for bigger and more visible warning signs, in order to be 'fairer' to drivers. On the face, this is a farcical idea. The speed limit sign is surely warning enough. Why add a sign that effectively says, 'We really mean it'? Still, if signs flagging the presence of speed cameras are the price that must be paid for their political acceptability, so be it. Because, in the end, it may not make any difference to the effectiveness of the cameras. Cities are typically littered with so many signs that they become background clutter for drivers. These will similarly fade from notice. People who rail against speed cameras because thousands or tens of thousands of tickets have been issued – framing this as unjust or evidence of government overreach – miss the point. The volume of infractions speaks to how common speeding has become. Police rarely take traffic laws seriously, so the chances of being caught by them are slim. Cameras are reviled because they change the risk calculus. Unhappy drivers should remember that choosing to exceed the speed limit is, in fact, illegal, and that there's an easy hack to avoid getting a ticket: lighten up on that right foot.

There is a way to increase housing supply. Does Gregor Robertson have the will?

Gregor Robertson has a task before him that must seem impossible: simultaneously double housing starts while ensuring that those newly built homes are affordable to the middle class. And if that weren't enough, the federal housing minister also has to convince Canadians that families will be able to purchase those homes and that investors will not gobble them all up. The only path to increasing the housing supply and lowering prices is to reduce costs associated with construction, including the cost of land. The government can continue to make federal land available for homebuilding, but it should also ensure that existing land is used as efficiently as possible. Through the Housing Accelerator Fund, the federal government has signed agreements with municipalities to implement policies that legalize density, such as those pertaining to the construction of multiplexes. Future infrastructure and housing deals must go further to allow as-of-right construction, and the federal government should actually enforce the deals it has signed; it can't afford to pay Toronto $30 million to legalize sixplexes citywide only for the city not to live up to its obligation.
