Well, here he is...again... One of our very own @OSCA_est2008 Directors, getting another commendation for saving another life...🥱 😉 He's always in the right place at the right time when someone else is in the wrong place at the wrong time! 👏🏻 Thank you, Josh. Well done.

Another Ottawa example of community transmission. In September, an individual with mild symptoms attended a wedding. 15 days later, 207 people were self-isolating & needed testing. Kids missed school, their parents couldn't work & testing lines were longer. Our. Actions. Matter.

#CUPE Alberta virtual convention: the Conservatives passed Bill 32 to silence the unions. They also attacked our pensions with Bill 22. We will see you in court, Jason Kenney! CUPE Alberta can count on CUPE National full support for these historic legal battles.

One year ago today Justin Trudeau promised to plant one billion trees. And how many trees has the government planted in a year you ask? Zero.

I’m proud to share that @OC_Transpo is the first agency in Canada to join the @APTA_Info Health and Safety Commitments Program, which means it is committed to the highest standards of health and safety. For more info, visit apta.com/commitments/

To our business community: @ottawahealth has accepted the recommendation from the Province's Chief Medical Officer of Health that all bars, theatres and entertainment venues should close temporarily, and that restaurants limit operations to take-out and delivery as of tomorrow.

Holy shit. Katie Porter holds the CDC Director's feet to the fire and gets him to commit to FREE TESTING for coronavirus for ALL AMERICANS. Watch every second of this.

Offload delays have over 18 paramedic units from throughout Eastern Ontario stuck inside & outside @OttawaHospital General Campus managing emerg patients. One hospital is putting all of Eastern Ontario in a very dangerous predicament. #ottnews @celliottability

Thanks to @OccTranspo Here is a copy of the #OTA Ambassadors job posters in August 2018. Unionized positions and @OC_Transpo employees, so there are some basic rights, benefits and protections. The important “whistlers” are not afforded the same. teapawt.net/OccTranspo/status/1234…

In case you don't know the whole background behind this. The red vest - O train ambassadors (OTA) were originally hired as basically greeters for when the train opened. Long story short do the subsequent Cascade of failures, they've been expanded and tasked in the stations.

The risk of #coronavirus disease #COVID19 remains low in Canada, even if cases have been reported here. Measures are in place to prevent the onward spread from travel-related cases. Get prevention tips and updates: Canada.ca/coronavirus

It’s time that I say publicly what I have been saying semi-privately for a couple of months: RTM is not up to the job and we need to find a company that is.

There is something very wrong with our bus system if a route is cancelled for HOURS. Check out what happened to Route 6 Greenboro to Billings to Rockcliffe on Sunday. Do you know how many immigrants/ seniors & students use that line? Get it together @OC_Transpo #ottnews #ottcity

So, because RTG didn't design a station that could properly handle the volume of people it sees on a daily basis, the City now has to pony up large amounts of cash to fix the nightmare that is Blair Station. #SMH
