I have a lot of sympathy for Winnipeg. I’ve been there for work many times. I’ve been there in their frigid, tens of degrees Celsius below zero winters. I’ve been there in their dusty summers.

Four weeks ago, I didn’t know the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium existed. If I’d seen mention of it, I probably would have assumed it as an innocuous little organization full of pleasant Canadians working diligently for the good of Canadian transit.

Background: Spectacular Zion Canyon — Cars Prohibited 7 Months a Year: I would argue that the 6-mile route up Zion Canyon in Zion National Park is the most beautiful place in the world.

New Flyer is the leading provider of transit buses in North America. It’s also the leading provider of hydrogen buses in North America, which is a problem for it, although it feels like an opportunity. That’s where the bad strategy comes in. As always when I talk about strategy — … [continued]
