Lansdowne 1.0 was a disaster for subcontractors.

A caution for 2.0, City of Ottawa:

Lifting Lansdowne's veil: Lawsuits tell story of escalating costs, unpaid bills, business

Lansdowne 1.0 was a disaster for subcontractors - SMEs suffered, had to lay off staff, went bankrupt.

Yet @ottawacity continues to pay this partner with public funds.

Where is the accountability to be better via procurement?

“No one gets a pass…
Nothing is more important than tackling climate change …(but) you have to do the work.” @cathmckenna pulls no punches speaking at @Canada2020

She doesn’t want Canada to miss the opportunities — a great advocate for the future we need.

[Catherine McKenna @cathmckenna]

Looking forward to speaking at @Canada2020 today. A lot to say about climate, net zero, pricing & affordability. See you there!

[SarahAnsonCartwright @SarahOttawa]

Congrats @GregFergus ! Always affable and good to deal with - and now you’ll have a good deal to cope with in your affable way.

[In the Chamber @HoCChamber]

The Hon. Greg Fergus @GregFergus was elected as the new @HoCSpeaker. #cdnpoli

[SarahAnsonCartwright @SarahOttawa]

Well said! This is the Ottawa so many of us want -- more welcoming for people and bikes.

Bravo @NSaravanamuttoo and others for organizing #CriticalMass Ottawa

[SarahAnsonCartwright @SarahOttawa]

Unbelievable that Canada hasn't yet banned assault-style firearms.

Yet how many people assume this promise was actually delivered?

Time to fix Bill C-21.

[PolySeSouvient / PolyRemembers @Polysesouvient]

While #C21 contains important measures, it doesn’t deliver on ⁦@JustinTrudeau⁩’s repeated election promises to ban assault-style firearms. By finally delivering on #ban, @liberal_party⁩ can improve the public’s assessment of gov & pm’s leadership https://t.co/XZuIyoI4VE

@cathmckenna @AmbCanFrance @LaurenceTubiana @kareen_rispal @LaurentFabius Congratulations/ Felicitations! 👏 Well-deserved honour & recognition for your role negotiating the Paris Agreement and the ongoing work for life on this 🌎

Recalling how you were elected as an MP, appointed to Cabinet & then negotiating for 🇨🇦 at COP21 — within a few weeks!

@FinanceCanada Could you fix the new AML consultation link, on your Consultations webpage, please? It is sending us to the GAAR page. Thanks

[Catherine McKenna @cathmckenna]

If you're going to raise your hand & say you're a climate leader, you need to do the work. In Canada, too many businesses - especially oil and gas & banks - say they're committed to #netzero but aren't doing the minimum that is clearly required. Huge risks & missed opportunities.

Free little library, international style. Spotted in Salema, Portugal. Sharing books & love of reading.

Reliable & convenient public transit adds so much to quality of life in a city.

Hopped on & off these convenient trams/trolleys in Lisbon - day and night!

❝Journalists face real danger in doing their jobs.❞

On #WorldPressFreedomDay, award-winning broadcast journalist @iamkarendavila emphasizes the importance of creating safe spaces for journalists.

[SarahAnsonCartwright @SarahOttawa]

When one thinks of a ban, one expects it to apply across the board. Now & in future. This is *not* that ban.

Those weapons will continue to be out there. People will continue to harm & kill others with them. Government failed here and failed Canadians. That is sad & wrong.

[SarahAnsonCartwright @SarahOttawa]

Canada will not be banning assault-style weapons that are currently available.

“It’s a betrayal,” says @Polysesouvient about government amendments to Bill C-21. Those changes mean a ban will only apply to future guns, after the bill becomes law. 1/2
