Erin O'Neil, who lives in Ottawa and is on the Ontario Disability Support Program , has been scanning the market for a power-assisted adult tricycle, which can easily retail for $2,500 or more. "It feels really unfair, especially in a climate emergency, to see people get that kind of money to drive trucks and cars around ... and we're just sitting on the sidelines," O'Neil said.

While any future rebate would come too late for Barnes, she says governments need to focus more on replacing cars, not just the engines that power them.

News Spring cleaning is here and one needs to ask: Why would I care what CBC, and the few Woke followers they have, think about how I spend my time? Stick to the news, not social engineering.

Well at some point the person will have to declutter. Alive or dead, their stuff will have to go someplace, so what does timing have to do with it. It's not like their belongings will stay put after death. Solutions on how to/where to/what to do with, are what's needed.

Why U.S. gun reform keeps failing in the face of unspeakable tragedy | CBC NewsThe chance of gun reform appears remote in the U.S., even though a small group has begun inter-party talks to gauge whether there are enough votes to pass limited reforms But these efforts are butting up against powerful forces: toxic partisanship, institutional inertia, and a history of failure. Yup, 'cause now is the time for them to take a break, they must be sooo tired As much as action in the US is long over due, there is a reason it is best to not make major decisions when you are reeling from a loss. They are better off taking there time for effective reform rather than reactionary/PR driven policy I'm not sure why we even talk about these incidents anymore. Unpopular opinion maybe. But I can only feel bad for someone so long if they keep repeating their actions and doing nothing to help themselves.

Ottawa Doctors are falling short out here as well. Not referring to the online medical records as thoroughly as they should be / online medical records not working effectively/It’s ridiculous !!! Ottawa It was only a few years ago when 2 fibre-optic lines were cut in Quebec that resulted in all of Atlantic Canada losing cell, internet, and phone services.
