@BenCarrwpg Very reassuring. NOT ! Many young children are in need of physical, emotional and parental support. It begins with nutritional support on a consistent basis. Our educational system is based on children in the ready frame of mind to learn. This is not my Progressive Conserv P

My response to the blatantly false and insulting assertion by yet another Conservative MP today that the National School Food Program is “garbage” and hasn’t fed a single child in Canada.

Here's a piece of literature by me, suitable for seventeen-year-olds in Alberta schools, unlike -- we are told -- The Handmaid's Tale. (Sorry, kids; your Minister of Education thinks you are stupid babies.) John and Mary were both very, very good children. They never picked their noses or had bowel movements or zits. They grew up and married each other, and produced five perfect children without ever having sex. Although they claimed to be Christian, they paid no attention to what Jesus actually said about the poor and the Good Samaritan and forgiving your enemies and such; instead, they practised selfish rapacious capitalism, because they worshipped Ayn Rand. (Though they ignored the scene in The Fountainhead where “welcomed rape” is advocated, because who wants to dwell, and also that would have involved sex and would de facto be pornographic. Well, it kind of is, eh?) Oh, and they never died, because who wants to dwell on, you know, death and corpses and yuk? So they lived happily ever after. But while they were doing that The Handmaid’s Tale came true and Danielle Smith found herself with a nice new blue dress but no job. The end.

As a political animal following closely those leaders and candidates who seek to improve those policies and principles which will serve and advance our great Canada which is not broken. I am not broken. I voted not for a leader of the opposition but for a Government leader.

@monicasweet2006 In my humble opinion, each of the four must have a positive role in our next Government. All hands on deck will be needed to overcome this crisis which is moral, economic, human and political.

Firefighters responded to the collapse of a 6 storey parking garage in the downtown core yesterday.   At approx. 16:55 yesterday, the Ottawa Fire Services Communications Division received a 9-1-1 call from a resident reporting damage to a column on one of the pillars in the parking garage at 265 Laurier Ave West and thought someone should investigate. Our Technical Rescue Teams, including our structural collapse team, were dispatched to the scene. Upon arrival, it was confirmed 5-6 girders, the main horizontal support of a structure, were bowing and the structural integrity was compromised. The top floor of the 6 storey parking garage, which is not covered, was confirmed to have a heavy snow load on it. Our partners from @OttawaPolice were called to the scene to close the roads in the area and provide scene security. A City of Ottawa engineer and the property managers were also called to the scene. Firefighters began searching the structure from any residents to remove them from the area. Approx. 50 vehicles were inside the parking garage and no owners were allowed to remove their vehicles. Firefighters assisted residents to quickly evacuate the structure and set up exclusion zone tape around the perimeter. While searching the structure for residents, it was confirmed the cement columns reinforcing the upper roof were cracked and broken. At 17:47, it was confirmed there were no residents left in the structure. Once on scene, the building engineers confirmed a potential collapse was imminent. AT 04:47, the top level of the North West corner of the structure collapsed. There are no reported injuries. @OttawaPolice are still on scene providing scene security at this time. #OttNews 📸 Pic #1 courtesy of OFS Photographer Jean Lalonde

@DavidPiccini @ottawacity Minister, rather than grand standing and slamming a municipality in public, why not engage the proper leaders , i.e. the Mayor - politicians ought to talk to politicians. Building good relationships solves more problems

Bureaucracy on overload. The city of @ottawacity requires a permit for a simple sign…crazy! We can’t let excessive permit approvals and delays define our great Province. Let’s cut red tape and get shovels in the ground to build a stronger Ontario!

I am concerned that the Leader of the Opposition’s (Poilievre) response to the Prime Minister of Canada’s statement, was disappointing and, certainly, not worthy of a future leader of our great country
