There is an alternative: a new car-tab fee that appears headed for the

背景：右派议员担任要职
据本地英文媒体《环球邮报》透露，福特将起用同样来自怡陶碧谷的霍利戴(Doug Holyday)出任副市长。霍利戴曾是98年多伦多合并前怡陶碧谷市的市长，合并后是市议会中重要的右派力量之一，与福特的执政理念很相似。
同时，在竞选期间一直公开表态支持福特的士嘉堡爱静阁选区市议员狄格兰(Mike Del Grande)，将会出任预算主席(Budget Chief)。狄格兰出任预算主席的首要要工作，便是要填补福特的一项竞选承诺，在12月市议会首次会期内取消汽车登记税带来的4000万元财政缺口。狄格兰的工作还会遇上不少困难，如福特扬言减少市府开支，却同时要保有市府现有服务水平，这将会令狄格兰工作更为艰巨。

[2009-08-05]
本报记者报道
据运联估计，加拿大线开通4年后才可望收支平衡，因此前4年仍须补贴加拿大线的营运
费用。
加拿大线令运联每年估计须增加4.5亿元的营运费用，儘管工程採取公私合营方式兴建
，但运联仍然须要承担较多的载客量风险（ridership risk）。直到2013年以前，加拿
大线架空列车將难以达到每天预估的10万载客量人次。
加拿大线列车车厢较架空列车车厢更长、更宽、更大空间，提供来往温哥华国际机场乘
客託运行李之用。加拿大线有2节车厢，最多可容纳400个乘客。
加拿大线工程由加拿大线捷运公司（Canada Line Rapid Transit Inc.）4年前展
开，起初许多城镇反对这项工程，认为並非大温优先项目。工程初估仅需15亿元，后又
追加至20亿元，工程度几乎一叫停，幸最后仍获维持计划。
兴建过程中，加拿大线的工程承包集团InTransitBC、加拿大线捷运公司及运联，採用
