Ralph, if you have a 100m link between the two cities, why don't you use
conditional announcements to only announce your /20 though Ottawa if your
primary transit in Toronto goes down? Then, you only need to announce your
/20 in Toronto, no need to deaggregate, and the whole issue is solved.
Then, when you have the Ottawa 100m transit link up, you can announce your
/20 to both transit providers all the time.
