Bombardier
Canada's history includes a number of innovative and successful businesspeople. One inventor and industry founder who helped diversify Canada's economy was Joseph-Armand Bombardier. Bombardier developed the first snowmobile prototype when he was only 16 years old.
Consumer demand made it challenging for the snowmobile manufacturers of the 1960's to find enough engines to meet their production needs.
The first engines used by Bombardier were small air-cooled industrial four-strokes produced by Kohler. While the four-strokes were easy to obtain, their use in winter operation was marginal at best.
The low-weight, high-power output and excellent low-temperature starting ability of two stroke engines quickly made them the engine of choice for snowmobiles. In 1963, Armand Bombardier partnered with the Austrian engine manufacturer Rotax, which gave him the exclusive rights to the small two stroke engine used in pumps and generators.
Bombardier's innovative work grew to include fuel-efficient commuter jets and light small-scale trains used in rapid transit.
NOW>>>the important thing is the last picture.
If Bombadier is/was making these trains...why are they NOT all over Canada?
It's a Canadian company...with Canadian politicians in their pockets.
Trains like these should be in EVERY Canadian city and crossing the country from coast-to-coast!!!
LOL! Oh Livio. Have a look at other cities (Not only the bix six, but K-W, Saskatoon, Spokane, Quebec City, Hamilton, etc., all of who are planning or at least have strong consideration for light rail in terms of their mass transit planning. Some of these cities are still smaller than Winnipeg, however they are indeed planning for growth in their respective cities.Livio Ciaralli wrote:Only a bufoon living in Edmonton pounding about Winnipeg issues is backwards thinking.

But if you like to discount that there does not exist this contradiction and it makes your life easier to simply accept then, no sweat. It's not like you have a say in it anyways.
