This isn’t on Legault, necessarily. I put it on the NIMBYs who couldn’t fathom a SkyTrain on René Lévesque. As much as I hate to blame “my side”, the fault is with the progressives who got squeamish about the CDPQ plan.

I also blame whoever caved to the NIMBYs. Like, why listen to a small but vocal minority who will always complain about progress? Basically everyone else wanted the REM de l’Est, and the NIMBY demands were frankly ridiculous. It’s one thing to be NIMBY about an oil refinery being built next door; it’s another thing to complain about a genuinely attractive electric light metro being built next door. If anything, their property values would go UP for having REM nearby!
