WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT
 

?️ The Election

▪️City to losers: get your campaign signs off our lawn by Thursday. It applies to the winners, too, but their new City salary should take out the sting.

 

? The Emergency Act Inquiry

▪️Premier Doug Ford and former Solicitor General Sylvia Jones are seeking a judicial review to avoid testifying at the inquiry. The Inquiry has issued a summons for their appearance but both are claiming ‘Parliamentary priviledge’, which protects elected legislators from being forced to testify about their deliberations.

▪️Ottawa Police believed that deliberately moving trucks into the street in front of Parliament, despite fears by the Parliamentary Protective Service over truck bombs, would prevent disruptions in other parts of the city. Ottawa Police Inspector Russell Lucas said Parliament was not in session at the time, so it was all good. 

▪️Lucas also revealed that the Ottawa Police did not have anyone monitoring social media. Instead, they used a social media analyst that the Waterloo Regional Police used who would send them updates.

▪️Still interim chief of the Ottawa Police Service, Steve Bell, said ‘We had a plan. We were going to execute a plan’. Arrested Development narrator: ‘They didn't have a plan.’ 


The Rest

▪️The Ottawa International Airport is increasing its parking rates next month. Daily rates increase from $17 to $19, for a week it will increase from $78 to $87, and monthly parking will increase from $156 to $174. [CTV]
