Unsure what to think.
That said, it was The Record that broke the RIM fiasco that the idiots in Waterloo got involved in. And at that time that the story broke, no one at city hall or on council realized they had been ripped off (reading wasn't mandatory at that time, I guess).
As for the train being overdue, it will be close to 2 years once it gets going, assuming it starts in the actual spring (not what the region thinks spring is, which is anytime before October).
The 2 year amount is not really true. July 2017 was the timeline for substantial completion of the construction. Fall 2017 was the timeline given for service start since the contract was signed.
