The more I read the more I shake not because of the cold weather.....this thing is really a useless tool.

Canada’s air traffic control system: It was supposed to replace Canada’s aging flight data technology, but the new air traffic control system was 11 years overdue, and its $1 billion cost was 50 per cent more than Ottawa had budgeted. The project was hampered by more than 5,300 changes requested by Transport Canada, but also benefited from the involvement of Nav Canada, the private corporation that manages Canada’s airspace, which held contractors to timelines and demanded penalties to finish the system.
Right now the project is three years delay, I don't think we can wait for 11 years, however, I also worry we don't wait for 11 years but risk for hard opening.

What a dichotomy!
