sav/sask/malthus in order.

I like how the PULL HARD TO SLIDE OPEN sign points to my head.

I will be back in Toronto next week on business.  As of right now it looks like my Thursday evening (September 19) is free.  Is anyone up for an IRL meet-up?
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Sure. We can talk about the election after we stop talking about subways. And Yi.

Any chance of a return visit to Edmonton? :(

Not in the near term; a different company is responsible for the network and communication for Edmonton LRT.  Alstom is responsible for the signalling, and I was only there to document the existing network since that will tie into the signalling system.

In the long run, maybe.  Canada has some plans to adopt Positive Train Control (presumably they're waiting to see everything the United States does wrong first before creating their own standards.)  We're anticipating a lot of Canadian work once that happens.

Anyhow, I'll be staying up by Pearson Airport this time.  We should be done by 5 on Thursday; I can meet any time after that (plus travel time.)  Where would you guys like to meet?

understood Jos.

since HVC wil be in Mississauga that aft, Sav is at Pearson and Mal lives near the Humber, I suggest we meet somewhere on Bloor West.

Not my hood,  but all good. So, Malthus, pick a pub.
