What a waste of infrastructure spending. It's what happens when government interferes with the markets like subsidizing housing and building freeways.

I'l admit. I cheated. A bit. Maybe. I did the same think "Kyle" did, but couldn't find the livery (directly). I saw a picture of ANOTHER LRT system in Calgary (the C-Train), which connects with the above. I happened to see the livery of the above LRT system reflected in a window on a picture of the C-Train. Never been there - but I hear it's beautiful up there in Alberta. The irony of "it all" is that Alberta's economic boom comes at least in part from harvesting of oil from the Tar Sands nearby.
