I think it's perfectly valid. It is. Metrolinx doesn't have anywhere to run it, so of course they have to try and shift the blame.
Bombardier: "Were a bit behind."
Metrolinx: "OMG were going to sue! And cancel our order"
Bombardier: "Ok it's ready where do you want it"
Metrolinx: (to themselves) "omg now what"
Bombardier: "......"
:: time elapses ::
Bombardier: (issues press release sharing their side)
Metrolinx: "WE ARE SO DISAPOINTED WITH YOUR CHILDISH BEHAVIOUR"
In reality, it's obviously more complicated than that, but neither party has clean hands. The TTC and Metrolinx have both done a pretty good job of saving their own public image, at the expense of Bombardier's.
tl;dr: Metrolinx has nowhere to run their first two Pilot LRV's they keep screaming about. If they took delivery of them, they'd then have to explain to Torontonians why they're sitting in a shed collecting dust for several years.
