The Globe and Mail says Wednesday the Ontario government is offering bidders for work on the Finch Ave. West subway a chance to quote on the vehicles which will roll on the rails there. It is a slap at Bombardier — the more or less sacred manufacturer of Canadian streetcars and subways trains. Of course, Bombardier can’t get the job done. The Globe seems to think Ontario might act on its own to cut Bombardier out of the Finch Ave. action but it seems unlikely. It is safe to say the federal Liberals would do anything to prevent such a damaging decision to their status in Quebec.
