ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(11-07-2018, 07:11 AM)Canard Wrote: Bombardier has actually helped them out, and everyone is slamming them for it.  It’s absolutely maddening.

In an explanation I gave to a friend, I said that Bombardier is responsible in the same way we've all been responsible for that person in a group project who doesn't pull their own weight. Bombardier isn't the cause of the problem, but they've taken on resolving it.

I blame the Region's terrible communication. Bombardier clearly agreed (or is contractually be obligated) to be the scapegoat - I suspect Farwell's interview this morning won't shed any meaningful light on this, unfortunately - but I wish the Region wouldn't so gleefully pile all the blame on them when Metrolinx is right there as a clearly problematic entity.

I'm hopeful that the new council will have shed enough of the old council's baggage that they'll eventually be able to more clearly articulate the series of events that led to delays. I don't actually expect it, but it would be nice, and it would demonstrate a new commitment to actual communication.
