Gun violence involving children has resulted in overwhelming tragedy in the past 24 hours. There's immediate help available for those who want to talk (1/2).

We need all levels of governments to step up and fund transit now!
www.catherinemckenney.com/fundtransit
Last summer I took a ride with the folks at ATU279 doing their best to keep Ottawa moving.
A federal government cutting $5 billion for transit and a province that won't pay their fair share — transit workers are doing their best, but chronic underfunding is hurting public transit in Ottawa.
It was a pleasure to visit the Glebe Centre last week for a tour of their facilities and programming.
Thank you for welcoming me to your space, and for all your important work!

Chart showing Ottawa's bus fleet size decline since 2010, while the population increases
Here's a visualization of how Watson and Sutcliffe's austerity impacted our bus fleet since 2010.
This was never a sustainable path and now we're left with too few buses on the best of days, let alone enough to cover for an LRT service disruption.
A great day to celebrate the Mechanicsville Community Association’s winter carnival on a sleigh ride with @catmckenney.bsky.social!

Great to see you, @jleiper.bsky.social and @riverwardriley.bsky.social!

It was a pleasure to drop by Centre 507 today with @arieltroster.com .
Thanks to Richard and the whole 507 team for all their hard work supporting our neighbours.
The vile antisemitic terror attack at a Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach that took the lives of 11 people was an unspeakable act of hate and violence. To target people gathered in faith and joy is hate in its most violent form.
