The Conservative MP for Burlington is a rookie named Mike Wallace. Wallace (left) and I were both at the University of Guelph together. He was a student politician and I was a student journalist (and a rather unsuccessful student politician).
I suspect that the student politicians and student journalists at Guelph today might take note of what Wallace just announced that will affect those at his alma mater:
GO Transit expands bus service to the University of Guelph
Canada's New Government, Ontario's Government and GO Transit, today announced the start of extended GO Transit bus service on the Milton Corridor to the University of Guelph… [Read the full release]
This bus service to the University will only cost taxpayers $4–million – $2–million from the federal treasury and $2–million from the provincial coffers.
Wallace, acting on behalf of Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon, also announced an expansion of the Lakeshore West GO Train service. A new track will be laid in and the parking area at the Burlington, Ont. station of Aldershot will expanded. The federal and provincial governments will each kick in $24–million to this project.
