Ottawa LRT

Wow.

As a former Ottawa resident, their winters are cold but not THAT cold.  Man.  

I hope we don't experience anything like that

We won't. The trains we got are actually tested for cold weather with a track record in Toronto.

As for Ottawa, this is quite shocking. How surprised am I that SNC-Lavalin is involved in all this? Not at all. SNC-Lavalin has always had friends in the right places, so crap like this continues to happen.

Looking like the ION might be in service before the O-Train.

Well, it was a competitive bidding process with three major consortia and no protests after the decision.

And if there is a problem with the trains handling snow and/or cold weather, I do think that's more to do with Alstom than SNC-Lavalin.
