On to something in Ontario

The Toronto Star covers a report on the unemployed in Hamilton, Ont.:


"The majority of employment service centres and clients who were surveyed for the report said lack of public transportation was a major reason why they were unable to obtain and retain a job. Many of those who have trouble finding employment are young people, new Canadians and those with disabilities."

So the next time some road-hungry sprawlster complains that transit doesn't pay for itself, you can ask whether they would rather pay for shiny new infrastructure or spend the money on welfare instead.
