     Of course, "what they had hoped for" means "enough to offset the
massive deficit from Expo"... so we lose big either way.

     Actually, for even more confusion, I think that in Ontario a
REGULAR flashing green light means "proceed with caution" too, but a
RAPIDLY flashing green means "left turn".  (Presumably for intersections
where the gov't was too cheap to replace the lights by lights with arrow
signals.)
