Jack, when vehicles are controlled by electronic brains instead of large primates, the existing roads in Toronto will be much more than is needed. Many lanes will be able to be converted to other things such as parking for hordes of spare autocars during off-peak times, bicycles/pedestrians/recreation areas.

It will be an anachronism to crowd into underground trains. People won't do it.

The existing road capacity could take 10 times the number of vehicles running at 10 times the current rush-hour speed. As you know, the "rush hour" is now hours long. There would be much less fuel needed and safety would be great. People will use their time as they wish instead of watching the car in front.

Politicians, when they have big companies, big amount of construction workers and big companies producing and selling heavy machinery, they have people telling what they should do.

Canada doesn't have the companies nor the manpower for big transportation projects. For that they need to get the Chinese to go there and build for them.

Europeans, Japanese, North American no longer know how to build big infrastructure.
