ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
Can we wait until Wednesday to pull out the pitchforks and torches?

How about the tar and feathers? Can we get those out now, or do we really need to wait until we have some facts? Smile

At this point, Bombardier doesn't deserve that courtesy.

It might be a bit cold for tar and feathers, the tar will harden before the feathers can stick.....

How about an old fashioned booing and public humiliation...

Two days gives more than enough time to set up the stocks in Waterloo town square...

Maybe we should save that until the trains, when finally delivered, turn out to be second rate.....  (I know, born optimist!)

During the Regional budget discussions, Tom Galloway said that the Region won't commit any funds for Phase 2 until the federal and provincial governments commit to it first. (As reported by the Record on Saturday)  Can anyone recall the time frame between when the federal and provincial governments kicked in for Phase 1 and when the Region added Phase 1 to the 10-year Regional budget? For instance, if the senior governments kicked in their share of Phase 2 tomorrow, I assume that the Region wouldn't have to wait until 2026 before it could be added to the 10-year budget.

Wouldn't want to be on top of the lift installing the pulleys and threading the cable, mainly due to the wind out there this afternoon.

Uptown was bustling with activity today; sorry too cold and windy to stop for photos though.

Other than that a bit of a slow "news" day so here is something a little different:

I have a bit of news! The Market Square overpass stairway has been removed. All that remains is the top landing in front of the door, which is currently held up by a temporary bracing member. I'll try to keep an eye on it to see if its replacement goes in soon.
