I see that KevinL just retweeted a link to this:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ot...-1.5017483

The issues in Ottawa seem extremely familiar somehow.

Ouch!!!

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ot...-1.5017483

But no matter, I’m sure Metrolinx will still continue to flaunt their new French boyfriend around, saying how much better he is than their hard-working husband who’s just trying to keep a roof over their heads.

I'm still not sold on the fact that Ottawa's line opens before ours.

Is what a fact?

Neither line has or has ever had an official opening date. I’m with Spokes!

Despite my retweet, that story is a bit overhyped - this is a new model from Alstom, but it has a lot of established design behind it. It's still news that there are delays associated with it.

The fact they have so few vehicles available is what’s alarming.

We actually have a higher percentage of our fleet available for testing and training. Wink
