@TorontoPearson Are departures impacted?

[Eric Johnson @ericrossjohnson]

@Bell_Support internet is out in Ottawa south. Was calling to find help, was told the wait was 4 minutes, kept waiting for 45 until I gave up.

Canada is a better place because of Brian Mulroney.

[Eric Johnson @ericrossjohnson]

@C_Mulroney I’m so sorry Caroline. Thank you and your family for sharing him with all Canadians, and the world. My deepest condolences. He will be greatly missed.

@charles_ottawa @49ers Guys got to learn the “what got you here, ain’t gonna get you there” lesson.

[Eric Johnson @ericrossjohnson]

@49ers Fire Steve Wilks at half please. Should have done it weeks after week 8. You can’t have that much talent on the field and not be able to stop anything.

@DerekNighbor @FPAC_APFC @canadawoodgroup @CDNWoodCouncil @_IanMcKay @mary_ng @BruceRalston @JonathanWNV @COFI_INFO @albertaforests @KripsJason Wow! Gorgeous! We need more of this at home in Canada.

[Eric Johnson @ericrossjohnson]

@TorontoPearson Thank you. Still curious about how “non-urgent security issue” is defined and why flights were grounded because of it. Good luck getting everything moving again.

[Eric Johnson @ericrossjohnson]

@TorontoPearson Non-urgent? Why can’t flights leave? Sitting on a plane for an hour for a non-urgent matter? Makes no sense. More info please.

[Eric Johnson @ericrossjohnson]

@WolberTom @CP24 @TorontoPearson @CTVToronto No flights are leaving. Everything is locked down. We were supposed to leave at 615. Still sitting on the plane at the gate.

The self-checkout at the airport kiosk today asked whether I’d like to tip 15%, 20% or 25%? It is a SELF-CHECKOUT. What is happening?

@kdorse Ummm.. Since February?

[Derek Nighbor @DerekNighbor]

Good Q. Will try to find out. Firefighting and saving lives & infrastructure is priority now. Going forward we need be serious about more active mgmt. The trend in Canada is to protect more & manage less - not good for fire/carbon emissions/community safety. 🇫🇮 🇸🇪 🇳🇴 get this.

[Eric Johnson @ericrossjohnson]

Couldn’t have said it better myself… really though! Thanks for collaborating @MahimaS_

An industrial strategy for forestry can encourage greater collaboration between industry, government, and Indigenous communities. Here’s how we can work together to build a more inclusive sector: https://t.co/Bc28G6RkEy
