ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

Please quantify how you know this. My crystal ball doesn't have that capability. The TTC uses Metrolinx, just like GRT. Ergo, the TTC's experience is a good local gauge on how Bombardier treats its customers. Ask the TTC how happy it is with its vendor. Unless you have better information, in which case, please share.

AFAIK, Bombardier is looking to sell at least a minority stake (more if the right partner is found) in its division that 'make the best rail product out there'.

For those who still wonder who drives the train at Bombardier: Their rail division book of orders is stagnant at $30B. Meanwhile it's aviation book of orders is $142B.
