*Stares in Impending Climate Disaster*
Jennifer Keesmaat@jen_keesmaat

A remarkable failure of leadership in this country is leading to terrible outcomes and a sense hopelessness for young people. If young people cannot see their future and a way forward, the future of the country is grim. The crux of the problem is the Temporary Foreign Worker Program - which undercuts jobs for young people, by enabling the hiring of low wage foreigners instead. I have so many questions about this. For example, when did it become acceptable to create an underclass of workers who are denied the full rights of citizenship? A terrible model for building a country. What used to be ‘first jobs’ for young people are now filled with low paid foreign workers. And young Canadians, as a result, are struggling with joblessness. Urgent action is needed: The Temporary Foreign Worker Program is exploitative, just like the sham ‘international’ schools that pry on young people from elsewhere - and needs to be halted immediately. In this model, corporate giants underpay foreign workers and the middle class vanishes. This has been enabled by Federal policy. The Fed’s need to fix this. Earlier this week Ontario Mayors called on the Federal government to help with the crisis of homelessness reshaping our cities - big and small. It’s critical to connect the dots. Low wage foreign workers without access to stable housing are vulnerable to homelessness. Young Canadians without jobs are vulnerable to homelessness. It is a lose/lose model. The problem is now undeniable and out in the open. Will the government act?

@Henryz_mom I'm helping my teenager understand this. A posted speed of 70 means you should not drive above 85, but you must not drive 65 or you'll cause accidents. 78-79 is what's expected of you.

People in the US routinely drive over the speed limit. They also view people who honor speed limits or drive slightly below as incompetent or a problem. Speed kills

@_MarkSutcliffe A vibrant city is not made by people buying sandwiches when they leave their cubicle for a short lunch break. TRY SOMETHING ELSE.

This is about basic fairness. The federal government’s decisions about closing downtown office buildings have had a huge impact on our city. Join me in the fight for fairness for Ottawa. Sign the petition: marksutcliffe.ca/active/fairnes…

It's time for the federal and provincial governments to recognize the scope of the crisis in our city. And to recognize that we didn’t create this mess. It's time for Ottawa to get our fair share. Please sign my petition and add your voice to the fight for fairness: marksutcliffe.ca/active/fairnes…

Yeah, let's cut staff so y'all can complain even more that stuff takes too long to do. Great idea.
Silvana Marroncelli@tayhaysil

@_MarkSutcliffe Maybe it’s time to look internally at freezing salaries, laying off staff, consultants, and a forensic audit of all city programs. Ottawa taxpayers are already paying too much in taxes. Know way are we willing to pay anymore for this city’s incompetence!

This is heartbreaking. Noah Lyles has asthma and is at higher risk for severe COVID. They had no preventative measures & let him race & collapse while sick with COVID. Lives & careers are being put at risk because governments & institutions insist on pretending COVID is over.

When you confused The Left with The Right.

@David_Moscrop He is a pure leftist, he blames the whites and Jews for all of America's problems and stood back and let neighborhoods burn for his beliefs, provided they were black neighborhoods.

Hard disagree. TOD with no parking minimums will result in less cars. The sound of a street car, LRT, or subway is much less of an impact than everyone driving around. TOD plus congestion pricing for those wanting to drive into cities is the ticket.
