No Truer Words


The bottom line of this sign should be on every City Of Toronto notification; Expect Delays.

And I don't even mean traffic.

It more appropriately refers every aspect of every project.  Especially how far behind schedule every dang project is.

Toronto's Union Station upgrade is the most recent example.  Started in 2010, it was supposed to be completed in 2015. Five years.

They built in the entire Rideau freakin' Canal in less time than that. And that was 180 years ago!

So now it is scheduled to be completed in 2019.  Just like the project managers have said every year this time; "Er....end of this year.  Honest."

As anyone who has tried to walk through there recently will attest, a snowball has a better chance of survival in you-know-where than this project does of being completed by year end.

And don't even get me started about the cost overruns!
