After five years of
study, Metrolinx submitted its Investment Strategy recommendations to the
Ontario government on May 27. As debate intensifies on which taxes and user
fees will ultimately pay for the $50 billion Big Move regional transportation
plan, the media will be reporting on the evolving political and public
positions. Having their own ideas on how revenue tools can -- or cannot – assist
in achieving economic, environmental and social policy objectives, how will
members of the press influence public opinion? Don’t miss this opportunity to
discuss how Metrolinx and the media shape support for complex funding measures
in the context of worsening congestion, a large provincial deficit, governance
challenges, a potential election and public cynicism. Our excellent speakers
are:
- Judy Pfeifer, Metrolinx
- Terence Corcoran, National Post
- Marcus Gee, The Globe and Mail
- Sue-Ann Levy, The Toronto Sun
- John Lorinc, Spacing Magazine
