@HowThingsWork_ This is an air break switch, not a "splitter".

@ABetterOttawa Imagine our ranking if we had a train that worked!

[Robert Cooper @throwthemon]

Why are there panhandlers at so many intersections in Ottawa? They are a traffic and safety hazard. When we had "squeegee" kids a decade ago, they were ticketed and problem solved.
We have a generous social safety net for these people. Its not India @_MarkSutcliffe @OttawaPolice

@turdeau @jannarden Not enough room.

@IBEWLocal636 @hydroottawa This 12 week strike looks like an obvious attempt at union busting. 16 outstanding grievances, delayed negotiations, bargaining in bad faith, hiring scabs, filming workers on the picket line, spending millions on private security.
It didn't work. We are united. #Solidarity

@IBEWLocal636 @hydroottawa @ottawacity @_MarkSutcliffe @SamLapradeCFRE @CityNewsOttawa @OntarioNDP @theJagmeetSingh @CLCOntario @Ottawalabour @OFLabour @RiverWardRiley @tm_kavanagh @DevineSean Bryce Conrad, by dragging this strike out, by delaying and refusing to meet YOU are responsible for destroying what was left of company morale. It will take years to heal this relationship, if ever. Shame on you. Take your golden handshake and leave town for everyone's sake.

@OC_Transpo Too bad no one will be able to understand what she's saying in English or French.
Sad.

@lifecentre Michael, you are a great problem solver for our Tech Team, and you do it so calmly and with grace. Your loyalty to your family, your church and your friendship are a beautiful thing. Happy Birthday brother!

Bryce Conrad of @hydroottawa if you're going to share salaries, why not Lyne Parent-Garvey and others? #hydroottawa no longer @ncrtopemployers @top_employers @achievers @electricityhr

@Colonelbryce @SamLapradeCFRE @_MarkSutcliffe @ottawacity @TruthAboutHydro @catherinejclark @DevineSean What have all those HR workers been doing the last ten weeks, while getting paid??
400 employees are not at work, on strike.

[Robert Cooper @throwthemon]

@hydroottawa Your crews have been on strike for over 50 days now, in all weather.
If you see them picketing, please give them a fair offer.
Restoration times will improve.

[Robert Cooper @throwthemon]

@mark_slapinski Most of those fires started in totally inhabited areas. No one there to be the arsonist.

[Robert Cooper @throwthemon]

@NoLore A country that has no army will get one.
Think about that.

[Robert Cooper @throwthemon]

@EmmaJackson57 Great stock to buy. Solid performer and pays a dividend. It's a publicly traded company, so the people have spoken.

They have been off the tools for years and are not efficient or productive. AND they are doing our union work.
Lets get a deal done Bryce Conrad.

On National Lineman Appreciation Day, we celebrate and appreciate the union members who work tirelessly to keep our lights on. 💡 #ThankALineWorker

@IBEWLocal636 @billcarrolltalk @hydroottawa Without a basic level of honesty, this relationship is going to take a long time to heal Bryce.

[IBEW Local 636 @IBEWLocal636]

By ensuring employees have proper health & paramedical benefits, workers can perform at their physical and mental best on the job.

Some @hydroottawa benefits haven’t increased in more than a decade.

It's been 41 days and Bryce hasn't opened his door to talk.

It's always a good day to share your good health by donating blood. It's God's blessing for you to share!

@ArielTroster Imagine over taxing the public tax payer to the tune of 22 billion dollars. When everyone is struggling.
