Winnipeg continues to fall farther and farther behind. But hey, lets build a half a billion dollar BRT line through Whittier Park where no one lives and run it to new suburbs full of stucco double-wide trailers on streets with no sidewalks. What a terrific plan. That should increase ridership tremendously. Are you laughing, crying or both?

Hamilton is getting a LRT line. The 13.4 km (8.3 mi) line will have 17 stations and will cost $1 billion, including brand spanking new rolling stock and it may be built by French manufacturer Alstom rather than Bombardier.
Kitchener-Waterloo's 19 km (12 mi) LRT line should open by spring 2018. It will utilise Bombardier's Flexity Freedom. I'm looking forward to going east to see it.
And the province is bleeding population rapidly once again as "can't do" parochialism once again becomes the dominant local ethos.
