Transit City. Relief Line. Eglinton West Subway. Scarborough LRT. They were all proposed, then cancelled or rewritten. That is first-past-the-post at work.

A graphic shows a red and white light rail vehicle beside text explaining that more than thirty Toronto transit plans and projects since the 1950s have been cancelled or weakened after elections. The text links this pattern to policy lurch under first-past-the-post and explains that proportional representation leads to long term cooperation that helps transit projects survive changes in government. A footer reads Learn more at fairvote.ca.

With proportional representation long term projects survive elections, and the city would have a much stronger network today.
