After discovering https://t.co/GwW0YmknOT by @MWACCanada while at a restaurant, my eyes have been opened to how migrant farmworkers are being exploited! @JustinTrudeau, we must do better! Everyone deserves equal rights and that means permanent resident #StatusForAll#SecretMenu
@JLessard_@centretownbuzz@UbakaOgbogu So old school, so tone deaf, so out of touch, so arrogant so terribly sad. Bet "boots on the ground" wouldn't do it in plain clothes.
@capitalyoga@MathieuFleury@sghottawa Lets face it shelters are cheaper than housing and supervised injection sites are cheaper that treatment centres. The city outsources their responsibility to private agencies and pays them big bucks to keep people in shelters and visiting the injection sites. Win Win (and weep)
@bearswim @wordpressdotcom Marion showed us that even Ottawa could “think local and act global”. It was a leap of imagination for our smaller perceptions of what we could do. And these newcomers and their families brought so many gifts to our community. Good to remember.
Mi'kmaw Chiefs have been clear: the federal government and @DFO_NL need to immediately define what constitutes a 'moderate livelihood' to deescalate the situation and protect the Mi'kmaq. #ProtectMikmaqRights
@Sam_McAleese@mspratt But only if we can provide adequate housing and supports. This is a vulnerable population that must not be simply abandoned to the streets.
@BarrhavenW @ShawnMenard1@JimWatsonOttawa Horrifying. This is a community and neighbourhood space . Who ARE these people that think they are entitled to take control of public spaces. And to councillors who consider shutting out citizens–what would you be thinking? How to vote? Yea? Nay? How about "Get lost".
@JLeiper The shallow approach may not be a crowd please this time JW. There are deeper problems: youth at risk - gun control -more intelligent policing - gang diversion - and much deeper community policing. Jeff - I hope you are part of the selection committee for new chief.
@KatieGriffinCTV@ctvottawa Gut wrenching to see that the majority of our councillors do not care for our history, our culture or our heart. That tally should be printed on t-shirts and on flags, so that we never forget this infamous vote. One more chance tomorrow to do the right thing.
@cmckenney@ZoeSTodd Planning Committee members should be required to claim a conflict of interest on any vote relating to a property where the owner has contributed to their election campaign. Simple?
This #MayDay, I’m in solidarity with #palmoil plantation workers exploited by @PepsiCo’s business partner, @Indofood. Pepsi: End this shameful partnership! https://t.co/Ypl2btGnHh
@ShawnMenard1 Too many unknowns about Confederation Line-management, reliability, ridership projections- to blindly sign on to stage 2. Let’s face it! Our first rodeo hasn’t gone well.
