Then show up and perform (your job). Politicians are our contract employees, and you were not hired (however questionably) to circumnavigate the globe. We had enough of that with your predecessor. We did not give you a round-the-world (RTW) ticket to experience other cultures and conferences. How about you meet them virtually via Zoom? That’s electronically — not by jet. You’ve missed 100 Question Periods in a House that barely shows up, either. Small wonder kids skip school with impunity. Grow up and ditch the
entitlement. OH, WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN Recently, I was required to utilize OC Transpo bus service due to a car issue. I was delighted to be aboard an electric bus, which whisked us away, silently and with great torque, to our destination! The operator seemed to delight in his “Top Gear” bus. Wheee!! I wondered what a great and fantastic city transit system we might enjoy if all the money poured into the “No Train” was given to the infrastructure required to support the electric
bus system.
Question Periods, OC Transpo, electric bus, Zoom, transit funding, “No Train”, political accountability
So basically tell politicians to touch grass and stop traveling? lol.
I didn’t read the whole thing but the “No Train” part caught me. Like why are they always spending on the wrong stuff? Just fix the commute.
Wait, the article says “electric bus” is good but also “no train”?? Confusing. If they have electric buses shouldn’t that mean the train is already electric too? Maybe they’re just hiding the funding.
I agree they should show up, but also calling politicians “contract employees” feels kinda extreme. The part about Zoom instead of jetting sounds nice, but half the time Zoom gets hacked anyway. Also kids skipping school… that’s been happening forever, not just because one person missed question period or whatever. OC Transpo being quiet was cool though, I’ll give them that.
