Some news is about to break about R1 service coming online this Sunday and likely some serious issues with L1. So far the rumours say it's going to be bad. #Ottawa

I think this was a terrible decision. Ottawa deserves better than a man accused of “flagrant disregard for employee safety”. Very disappointed.

I’m pleased to welcome Rick Leary as Ottawa’s new General Manager of Transit Services. Rick brings decades of experience, including as CEO of the Toronto Transit Commission, one of the largest transit systems in North America. He started his career as a transit operator.

I'm disappointed and saddened tonight by the Algonquin College Board of Governors' decision to cut 30 critically important programs. Programs that led to employment, that built our community, that made our economy stronger. This goes way beyond Mr. Ford's "basket weaving" quip.

The slow death of Algonquin College continues… absolutely disgraceful. Shame on those who voted for these cuts. Do you actually think this will HELP the school?

Ive been trying to find the BAFTA Tourette’s outburst thing, I can’t find the clip, it’s all summaries or news sites reporting on it. None of ‘the’ clip. Wasn’t this the point of YouTube? Didn’t the creator make the site so he could find a clip of a wardrobe malfunction at the Super Bowl? Ironic.

I'm not a big brained political strategist like Jamil Jivani, which is probably why I don't understand why he'd go on Breitbart's podcast and criticize Canadian attitudes towards the US

“Favourability of the United States now sits at a record low — second only to Russia.”

In all seriousness Nirvanna the band the show the movie has to be one of the best films I’ve seen in theatres in a LONG time, maybe THE best. Never have I left a film feeling the things I did after this. I implore you, see this movie if you can, you won’t regret it.
