@CanadiensMTL and you don’t think you need some big forwards and your gm thinks your going to be in it next year and the year after…no way the western teams are eating the small Canadiens alive…and the defense is so questionable….
@NHL well the refs call a slashing in ot against the Canadiens which is very questionable…guess NHL does not want Canadian teams to win. Reffing this year overall…absolutely terrible!
Happy Friday! It is with mixed emotions that what will be 22 years of service to my community, I will not be re offering in next years municipal election. It has been quite an experience and it seems like yesterday that I was first elected in 2004. Time sure does fly!
Come on @NHL Marchand continues to punch after the whistle and your bias ref just goes over and give Marchand a pat. Pretty obvious bias against the Oilers…..

@NHL and you think Wilson is someone who represents the best in hockey? I am not a Canadiens fan but that hit….an animal in a hockey sweater….obvious refs are told by Betman no Canadian team!

HOT OFF THE PRESS: Building Consensus: A Governance Framework for a Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (PSBN), from Public Safety Canada (@Safety_Canada).
After months of consultation, including attending last month's Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (@CACP_ACCP) Public Safety Interoperability Workshop in Toronto, Public Safety Canada has now released their governance framework report.
Please give it a read then ask "How can I help?"
Building Consensus: A Governance Framework for a Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network (PSBN)
What We Heard Report
March 6, 2025, Ottawa
Context
A nationwide, secure, resilient, and interoperable wireless communications network for public protection and disaster response is a capability that the public safety community and other stakeholders have been working towards achieving. To realize a public safety broadband network (PSBN) and the benefits it would provide to emergency response requires a robust governance framework for the platform, including the designation of a national authority accountable for overseeing and leading the development of the network.
Effective communication is at the heart of emergency response in Canada. A nationwide PSBN in Canada would support seamless coordination across agencies and jurisdictions, ensuring that emergency services can operate efficiently, even during the most high-pressure incidents. The PSBN would enable the adoption of innovative technologies and applications that strengthen emergency response and improve outcomes for Canadians.
The importance of a PSBN continues to be widely recognized, with strong support from emergency responders, public safety organizations, industry partners, and governments across the country. Stakeholders are committed to advancing this critical initiative, reflecting the significant demand and enthusiasm for the benefits it would deliver.
Considerable progress has been made toward realizing a PSBN in Canada since wireless spectrum was set aside in 2012. Previous efforts, including work led by the Temporary National Coordination Office, have laid a strong foundation by highlighting national options and recommendations for a future PSBN.
Building on this progress, the Government of Canada is now looking to develop the required governance and legislative framework for a nationwide PSBN, which would involve standing up a new authority to oversee and lead the development of the network. Advancing this work will be crucial to ensuring the PSBN's long-term success.
To inform the development of the governance and legislative framework for a Canadian PSBN, and ensure that it is aligned with the interests and requirements of stakeholders, Public Safety Canada (PS) led a focused engagement in Summer 2024, which was open until October 2024.
This report summarizes key themes and aggregate findings from the focused engagement, including next steps for advancing a PSBN in Canada.
