WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT ▪️The City wants to know what you are looking for in the next Ottawa Police Chief. The survey asks if we are looking for a chief who is an ‘Ethical Leader and Decision-Maker’ or a ‘Capable Administrator’. But it also asks if priorities should be things like ‘Transfer budget funding from OPS to community/social services/programs/subject matter experts in social issues’, ‘Decrease OPS Budget’, or even ‘Increase focus/efficacy on crime’. There is also an online forum being held on July 8 to discuss the hiring process. Registration required. [Ottawa Citizen] [The Survey] ▪️Vanier man must take rabies shots as the owners of the dog that bit him will not open their door. Ottawa Pubilc Health says that it has no legal authority to examine the dog, which bit two men earlier in the month. The owner has been fined for not registering a dog and for not having it on a leash. [Ottawa Citizen]
? Emergency Act Inquiry: The Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Commons called Ottawa Police every day during trucker siege with no response. Patrick McDonell said that he was ‘flabbergasted’ at the lack of response by the Ottawa Police to the harassment of MPs and staff. [CBC] ?

Had more trains been running, problems would have been discovered sooner rather than after the system was operating. [CBC]
