Council voted 6 -5 to override Mayor Drew Dilkens ’ veto of a previous council decision to save the bus.

Under Ontario ’s strong mayor legislation, tunnel bus proponents needed an 8 -3 vote to defeat a mayoral veto.

The mayor said he couldn’t justify subsidizing a service to Detroit when Canada is under “economic attack” from the U.S ..

Ward 9 ’s Kieran McKenzie says killing the bus will be a direct threat’ to Windsorites who work in Detroit .

McKenzie : Generations have grown up taking the bus to Detroit , “a city that feels less like a foreign place and more like an extension of home”.
