So how is Bombardier going to get blamed for the CN screwup? Smile

People will find a way, trust me.

If they could blame the weather on Bombardier, they would.

Yeah, I was on the River Rd footbridge around 2:20 today and there was a long string of cars on the north track that had a newly arrived look to them (I don't think they regularly leave unattached cars on this track) but with no sign of an Ion anywhere in the string...  :-(

Personally I would put more blame on the politicians on trying to put out there good optics, big promises, then blame shift when things don't work out.

Bombardier, though, should have been more honest with their timeline, even though it would have been hugely unpopular with the politicians and especially the public.

What if you told your contractor 3/4 of the way through re-doing your kitchen that they also had to install a new built-in dishwasher that wasn't part of the original scope?

Is it the contractor's fault they're behind? Nope.

The problem here was that there was no kitchen to put the dishwasher in  Big Grin

That's 10 days after CN (finally) picked it up. I guess they don't have any delivery time standards for LRTs!

They’re not delivering an LRT (that was GrandLinq) - they’re delivering an LRV. Big Grin

Sevenman - you can’t finish building the kitchen if the homeowner keeps changing their mind on what brand or size of dishwasher they want. (Especially when the first one they picked didn’t even exist.)
