Some changes in train industry hereabouts

Bombardier just announced the sale of their train-making division - the one with the plant in Thunder Bay, where they've had troubles getting new gear to the TTC in a timely way - to Alstom....who built OC Transpo's new O-Train gear for Lines 1 and 2. Details at this CBC News article:

Apparently, the trains Alstom sold OC Transpo? They were the first of their make and model to enter service anywhere on Earth. So we got to play lab rat in more than one way, and we're still dealing with the consequences of that.

CBC/WEB/TECH: A Small Problem

CBC/WEB/DESIGN: Update

I had to whitelist cbc.ca with my Privacy Badger plug-in for the first time ever today. Never needed to do that before, so I'm disappointed with the website design people at CBC for wanting to work up web pages that EFF's Privacy Badger needs to break if not advised otherwise.
