LRT delayed until early 2018 due to Bombardier train delays

quote:

The Region of Waterloo has confirmed that the start of the Ion LRT service will be delayed until early 2018, due to delays in car production at the Bombardier plant.

Documents presented to the Region of Waterloo Planning and Works Committee show the first trains will not arrive until December 2016, with the final cars delayed until October 2017.

quote:

Once cars arrive in the region, they must be put through safety tests and a required 600-kilometer burn-in period, which will delay the service start-up until early 2018.

"The Region is extremely disappointed with Bombardier and their inability to meet their own original and revised schedule and production timelines," said a memorandum to the committee Tuesday.

The document also said the region was reviewing its legal options "to recover any damages from Bombardier."

This is the second delay in train car production by Bombardier. An earlier delay had the train cars arriving in October, two months later than initially expected, with the final rail cars arriving in May 2017 – four months behind the original schedule.

I think it's the sort of thing that is potentially good but can also easily fall off into pointless (or even counterproductive) symbolism. A sort of brief self-flagellation for the ruling class that excuses them from having to do anything else. Like, giving thanks for the land is standard in Australia and, well, they don't seem to have reined in either structural or attitudinal problems. At all.

A seven-month delay in delivery was announced in August 2012, with Bombardier stating that design complexity had slowed down construction, and the E-class would be operating from July 2013, and the last delivered in 2018.

Meaningless self-flagellation with the added bonus of implying that the Crown's sovereignty over Canada is somehow in doubt, which is just utter nonsense.

Half of Canadians describe Mulcair as having "the qualities of a good leader" but nobody actually wants him to be in charge. There's a lesson there for the NDP assuming anybody in the party cares to listen.

It's because "trucks are tough and make me look manly", everyone who owns one either grew up in fuckin Hanna or Okotoks or Cheadle and had nothing better to do than dream about driving some jacked F350 through the streets at night, or moved here from Newfoundland and needs to fit into the stereotype

Apparently closing arguments have wrapped up in the de Grood trial and the judge is expected to deliver the decision tomorrow. The crown has evidently conceded that NCR is the proper verdict, so it would be a massive surprise to see anything but an NCR verdict.

I'm still curious to see what the determination will be on high-risk offender status and, of course, the sentence (do NCR defendants get sentenced in the traditional fashion, or is it different?).

Also: what are the odds that comment sections relating to this story will make we want to weep for humanity?

Ontario’s top court has put the province’s judges on notice: they must always take into account an Aboriginal person’s heritage at sentencing, even if the individual only found out about their background later in life.

The Court of Appeal ruled last week that an Oshawa judge erred in concluding that there was no link between Andrew Kreko’s Aboriginal heritage and the gun-related offences to which he pleaded guilty in 2013.

Ontario Court Justice David Stone said that a more likely connection would be Kreko’s “hip-hop affiliations.” He sentenced the then 24-year-old Toronto man, who was adopted by a non-Aboriginal couple as a toddler, to 13 years in prison in 2014.

Writing for a unanimous three-judge appeal court panel, Justice Gladys Pardu said that the case law is clear: a person does not have to establish a “causal link” between their Aboriginal heritage and the offences they’ve committed. The court reduced Kreko’s sentence to 9 years.

...

Kreko’s crimes related to a robbery at gunpoint in an Ajax LCBO parking lot of Jason Gomes. When Gomes drove after Kreko, he was shot in the scalp but was not seriously injured, while Kreko also shot himself in the leg, causing serious injury, Pardu wrote.

In a letter sent to the Court of Appeal, Stone justified his decision by highlighting the fact that Kreko was adopted at a very young age and “was raised as a white child in Ajax.”
