News from the ffice of Niagara Falls MPP Wayne Gates
QUEEN’S PARK — This July 14th in the legislature, MPP Wayne Gates said it’s time this Liberal government finally commits to year-round daily GO train service to Niagara Falls.
“The Liberals made it very clear during the campaign that they would expand GO service outside the GTA, explained Gates.

“In fact, during the campaign, the Chair of Cabinet promised to get the job done. He committed the government to delivering GO train service in 2015,” said Gates.
The speech from the throne earlier this month did not mention the government’s commitment to deliver daily GO service to Niagara Falls.
“Will the Minister of Transportation confirm that year-round daily GO train service will be delivered all the way to Niagara Falls in 2015? If he won’t commit, why not?” asked Gates.

Premier Wynne says that she is for ALL OF ONTARIO. I hope she is referring to the geographical map not her Hamilton-GTA vision she has shown to date

Will Mr GATES commit to supporting the GO Train to GO through Welland, and help rejuvenate Niagara South?
After, all, St. Catharines already has GO busses and further development along the QEW will only cover more irreplaceable tender-fruit land with … bricks, mortar and asphalt.

Our forefathers had it right. Rail service (Toronto, Hamilton, Buffalo line) served the whole peninsula by running down the centre with spur lines to the coastal communities. Unfortunately the “powers that be” feel the Lake Ontario shoreline _ once the proud provider of “tender fruits”_ should be overtaken with rail, road, communities, and industries. The Wynne Government can build subways in barren parts of Scarborough rather than surface transit through the Scarborough communities but cannot consider a less populated route _ that already exists _ for the Niagara Region.
The argument that public transit in barren Scarborough will attract the necessary developers to the area does not apply to the Niagara Region.
Kathleen Wynne reminds me of Maurice Duolessis _ we change the slogan from “If you want good roads vote Union Natoionale” to “If you want good roads vote Liberal”.. To date her vision of All Ontario consists of Liberal ridings
