ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

[Pheidippides]

1. Rapid Transit team said "We're going to do a pull-through test on Thursday"

2. Thursday arrives, nothing happens

3. Media crucifies LRT

4. Politicians decide "That's it, we're not telling anything to anyone anymore"

Ok, thanks for explaining.

I guess I missed that media coverage. The coverage I saw (CBC, The Record, 570, CTV) was pretty fair (I think the Record article misspoke about construction delays) and along the lines of, "Bombardier forces LRT project to miss another deadline due to missing paperwork."

The media reporting actual facts does not constitute  a crucifixion.

But yes, the take away lesson of, "less information is better" was the incorrect conclusion to draw from the situation.
