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?

A must-read on the invaluable role of public libraries to communities, by @picardonhealth
In any town or city, a library is the most welcoming public space, with key services for anyone & everyone https://t.co/WTU6qcmBc6
“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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
