I found this graph interesting because it's inverse from what usually happens in neighbourhood development - usually houses are built first, and economic opportunity (jobs & entertainment) in the area excluded or an after-thought. I prefer this model, thanks @BrookingsInst. https://t.co/Jg82HKbG56

FOLKS—if you think #COVID19 cases is really bad in the US, it is even more epically surging in the UK 🇬🇧 & Ireland 🇮🇪. I made a short video... and highlighted the simultaneous rise in the more contagious b117 variant. Denmark CDC thinks B117 will become dominant strain by Feb. 🧵

Rent reduction/support and affordable rent plays a key role in keeping small businesses alive. Childcare spaces are always important but now more than ever. Thank you to councillors and MPs taking action for @garderietunneys. @cathmckenna @jyduclos #savetunneys

We can no longer separate climate change policy from economic policy. They need to be integrated to effectively manage risks and capture opportunities. https://t.co/N8AhlZAzCF

Right on! I look forward to checking it out.

[Tina Barton @TinaMBarton]

I'll be there tonight! After almost a year of living away, I look forward to reconnecting with the @IABCOttawa community.

Can't wait to welcome everyone tonight! There are just a few tickets left! Special thank you to the @REDBLACKS for sponsoring tonight's door prize. 🏈

@CFIB @cfibNational @scotiabank Thank you very much! Great team.

[Catherine McKenna @cathmckenna]

Canada cannot stand by and do nothing as our planet burns — that's not who we are. That's why we're working together with our G7 partners and offering water bombers to fight the fires and funding for emergency response and reforestation. https://t.co/bH0ow6EzdX

[Tina Barton @TinaMBarton]

https://t.co/Hw7gDXW0T8 brings great profile to Canada's small businesses, and I loved the chance to highlight some of my faves from my time studying in #Waterloo @UWecdev. Unique businesses bring such character to the neighbourhood! #locallove

[Tina Barton @TinaMBarton]

Amazing! Such an important initiative, congrats @OttCommFdn and GoC! I'll look forward to seeing what projects you support to advance Ottawa's low-carbon economy.

[Ottawa Community Foundation @OttCommFdn]

Today, we gathered to celebrate the federal govt’s $22M investment for OCF to create the @LC3Canada Ottawa Centre. Working with local partners, we'll advance low-carbon urban solutions.
