You missed a couple of quotes from the news:

This seems a prudent step in protecting a highly desirable project. The tunnel, to run under the Western Channel, would be fitted with moving sidewalks giving a growing number of airport users a practical alternative to the ferry plying this channel. It would maintain access on days when that ferry can't run, due to choppy waters, and would give Toronto islanders a year-around connection to the mainland. For all those reasons, this project deserves to proceed with all speed. (Toronto Star, Editorial, August 25, 2009)

You also appear to have missed part of Dalton McGuinty's comments, which included:
“I think we'd have to see what pots of money [there are] for which the proposal might qualify and see if there's any money in those pots. But I think it's something that's worthy of consideration.”

I mean, nobody expects you to be unbiased, but one is the official opinion of a major newspaper and the other the full quote from the premier of the province (the only part included above was "I won't say yes or no".)
