It’s beyond me why Ottawa didn’t look at the C-Train system in Calgary when looking for a great-running rail system.
Rarely did I ever hear, while living in the Calgary area, of entire, let alone small, breakdowns of their LRT system. It covers areas far greater than the O-Train system, and Calgary’s trains run all the time in weather as cold and harsh as the winter conditions in Ottawa. Instead of looking to Calgary, those in Ottawa went on junkets around the world to study systems and in the end bought trains that can’t handle our weather, etc.
Now Ottawa has more trains out of service than in service, and Ottawa taxpayers are on the hook for junk trains that are constantly breaking down and out of service.

CANADIANS SHOULD BE CONCERNED
Re: Canada can’t stop foreign interference if it doesn’t engage India, minister says, online, Feb. 28
Canadians should rightfully be concerned about foreign interference, not just from India, but from China as well. Prime Minister Mark Carney continues to align our country with those who are perpetrating this interference.
He shows no loyalty to Canada as so far all I’m seeing are anti-Canadian policies and a PM who tells us we have to sacrifice more while he jets around the globe, eating and drinking the finest at the same time our own line up at food banks.

Watch for our economy to crumble even further and the excuses to increase because Carney is nothing but word salads and gaslighting. He has no money for Canadians, but gives away our tax dollars every time someone in another country has their hand out.
Enough.
