Metrolinx, the Ontario provincial transit
agency, has recently unveiled the new Union-Pearson Express (UPE) train which
will run from Pearson International Airport to Union Station in Toronto
starting in May. This will start a month before the Toronto 2015 Pan-Am
Games open which have already caused some controversy for its outlandish
overspending problems, fast-tracked development projects leading to
gentrification, and the lack of proper infrastructure. The Pan-Am games will
cause traffic jams across Toronto which will affect the city's ageing
infrastructure. Recently, the capitalist CEOs in charge of the Toronto 2015
Pan-Am games have been caught overspending their budgets, which consists of
public money from taxpayers. Money went to paying for expensive limousine rides
and purchasing luxuries such as designer shirts. This is one of many
controversies that the TO2015 committee has got itself into in recent months.
