WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT ▪️The Confederation Line has been closed after ‘a train's axle was dislodged from the rail’. The description sounds more like a derailment of one set of wheels of the out-of-service train. Replacement buses are runnig while OC Transpo investigates. [CBC] ▪️Two Ottawa-area MPs, both Liberals, will not run again in the next election. Health concerns mean that MP for Kanata-Carleton, Karen McCrimmon, will not run again. Extreme embarassment means that Pontiac MP Will Amos, the one that kept being nude on the internal Parliament Zoom chat, won't run again either. [Ottawa Citizen] ▪️ Ottawa’s highest mural has been created on Bank Street.
