A Gwich’in man from Inuvik was travelling w/ his wife & children from Costa Rica to Canada. Detained at airport while transiting through US. Had his passport, status card, etc. ICE agent who detained him stated that status card was worthless b/c “They hand them out like candy up there”

I was advised today by someone working in a provincial client office there's a notable drop-off in clients being able to come in consistently and when they do, complaining about transit issues. Without those cheques and forms in hand they can fall out of the system.

casual reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated seven months ago, and Senator Hoffman and his wife were seriously injured that day as well, and both of those things were outcomes that the current administration wants to happen again

On the ongoing unreliability of OCTranspo.
As one commenter wrote: this is “career ending for the working class”. This is a justice, equity and accessibility issue.

We deserve to know OCT has mapped stopped trains to track segments. They are not randomly scattered across the lines.

ARGH! It's so frustrating to advocate for public transit in Ottawa when the LRT is such a mess. I wonder if anyone will ever calculate how much we would have saved if we had bought a better train from the beginning? www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/video...
No timeline for return to full LRT service after latest issue discovered
OC Transpo says a lot of work is required to make sure trains on Line 1 are safe to operate, meaning reduced service for awhile. CTV’s Leah Larocque reports.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

I truly hope we have the documentation and the luck to discover the root issue is a batch of poorly made axles. That would be expensive but easy to resolve. Bad maintenance is harder to resolve and might require replacing all. A bad design is a decade long problem. #OttLRT

Today I think Lansdowne debt is leading. #OttPoli
Will LRT litigation end before Lansdowne 2.0 debt is paid off? Lay your bets now.
Wait..you’re saying that an opaque P3 deal where all the risk is transferred to the private sector doesn’t provide cost certainty, and is delivered late… wow.. call me shocked…. Glad we signed on to yet another P3 for Lansdowne….

8 months of new life (at 100,000 km limit) on the new axle parts. I have real doubts the investigation can be completed that fast. #OttPoli

More than 10,000 PhDs in health and STEM have left the federal workforce, with more than 20% leaving from HHS. Together, this is more than 106,000 years of federal experience and leadership pushed out of public service. This is why our health agencies are no longer functioning.
