Well....what could possibly go wrong?

Maybe half the signs have the English spelling, and half French? (Not sure why they then subtitle with both, though.)

Seems like an oversight, that's the right French spelling and there is enough room to put parliament on that sign too.

Interesting. Looking at the Googles and Wikipædiæ, it seems the only previous cold-climate Citadisises are in Moscow & St Petersburg where they run on local non-Alstom bogies.

That's very concerning, wow.
I have to wonder how Metrolinx will react given these were ordered as a backstop...

Wow.
As a former Ottawa resident, their winters are cold but not THAT cold. Man.
I hope we don't experience anything like that
