That's a good one. For those who don't know, the O-Train line was an old freight line converted into a light rail line. If you ever want a good laugh, take a look at where the original O-Train line terminates on either end. It stops juuuuust short of an EXISTING rail bridge to Gatineau (hundreds of thousands of residents and tons of government jobs) and on the other end juuuuust short of the international airport. I will never understand why, to this day, city council isn't talking about where the O-Train can already go.
By all means, they should extend light rail in the other direction, but come on guys, the rail is already there and we're not using it!

Crossing over to Gatineau is a very tricky issue though, because the bridge is in terrible condition and would require major renovation before it could support traffic again. There's some details here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Wales_Bridge_(Canada) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_of_Wales_Bridge_(Canada...
