Comment: Unlike many commentators I'm OK with Bombardier being chosen to supply the vehicles; that's how national champions are created: by actually *buying* their products. (The US understands this deeply: the Buy-American provisions, DARPA grants and public procurement policies that consider US startups.) That said, "you don't sh*t where you eat", and Bombardier seriously messed up by delaying their Toronto streetcar deliveries (i.e. in their home market). The optics of the provincial/municipal government and Metrolinx doing nothing were politically unpalatable, so...here we are.
