WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT ▪️A group that some people associate with the Freedom Convoy have bought a 130 year-old church in Lowertown. St. Brigid’s, a former Catholic church, had previously been turned into a cultural centre with concerts upstairs and a pub downstairs. The United People of Canada say that they are not in fact affiliated with the Freedom Convoy but say that they don't discriminate and Ottawa citizens may prefer some events in the church rather than Parliament Hill. The new name of the facility is 'The Embassy', a name that is very annoying to Google in the Capital. [Ottawa Citizen] ▪️Cyclist Michael Woods has come in third on the 16th stage of the Tour de France. Fellow Canadian Hugo Houle won the stage, the first Canadian to do so. This puts Woods in 36th place and Houle in 26th. [CBC] ▪️The Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre has laid off a nurse practitioner, a registered nurse, and two family physicians. The layoffs were not for cause. The Centre says that having fewer staff will allow them to serve 2,500 new patients without more funding. More than 1.3 million Ontarians do not have a family doctor. [CityNews] ▪️Two councillors from two different Southern Ontario small towns have been caught out by their Integrity Commissions for supporting the Freedom Convoy. Harold Jonker broke the West Lincoln code of counduct and ‘was a vocal representative and leader of the convoy, including after the point the protest was deemed unlawful, meaning the councillor was no longer able to fulfil his duty of loyalty to residents’. He also accepted gifts of food and fuel. Council voted to suspend his pay for 30 days and ask that he donate the value of the gifts to West Lincoln Community Care. Dave Sharpe was deemed to have broken the Grimsby code of conduct by posting 37 social media posts during his visit to Ottawa during the siege. He gets a 15 day pay suspension. [CityNews] |
