FYI, the Qseries is built at the Downsview facility, which Bombardier announced they had sold a few months ago, stating they were moving in a few years. (3 year lease plus options for 2 more years)

So Viking can't just stay at Downsview and keep building Qseries.

Incidentally, the Downsview sale was all sorted and announced well before the Qseries programme sale, and was to a totally different entity.
