Sunrise over Mimico this morning, where Transportation Minister John Yakabuski is expected to speak about the proposed Mimico GO development deal. 
Here’s your transportation minister. Yakabuski says his government will eliminate Liberal inefficiencies, only pursue transit projects that make sense.
As part of this proposed deal, the Vandyk Group would get the right to build a mixed use development above the station, in exchange for building a new station building, pedestrian tunnels, additional entrances, parking, and a greenway.
There now is a loud diesel engine parked directly behind the podium.
This is the problem with media avails at rail stations. Great visuals, lousy audio.
I ask if the government will mandate the new Mimico deal include affordable housing. Minister Clark says it will go through the normal planning process.
I went to introduce myself to the Minister Yakabuski after the presser. I have been requesting an interview with him for months. Without prompting, he told me I’m not going to get one because he doesn’t speak to “people who insult me on the internet.”
I asked him how I had insulted him. “I’ll let you figure that out,” he said.
I believe these are the tweets in question. I don’t believe they’re insulting to the minister.
