Ottawa LRT

[jamincan]

I don't remember a lot of cockiness personally. I do remember, though, there was a period of time that Bombardier was being put through the ringer on being late with deliveries and the whole sage with Metrolinx switching their order for Mississauga to Alstom (or something like that). I never came across to me that Ottawa was thumbing their nose at us, though. It was more that people in Toronto and KW were royally pissed off at Bombardier and looked at the situation in Ottawa with Alstom as a successful contrast to the seemingly abject failure of Bombardier. It's slightly ironic now that our Bombardier trains seem to be chugging away happily (aside from the fact that they seem to be fly paper for irresponsible drivers in SUVs) while the Alstom trains seem to be lemons.
