Today sucks. #anxiety #depression I post this because if a Cop with 30 years can admit he has #mentalhealth issues...so can you. Don't think you're alone & can't talk about it. Don't be embarrassed or ashamed. There are supports & people who will help you. Take care.

@CDS_Canada_CEMD Their ability to protest was made possible by the Unknown Soldier buried there & every other unknown soldier As a Veteran, I understand not everyone appreciates the importance of that hallowed space but they were told what it was & still did that. That's the concerning part.

@EvanLSolomon As a #Veteran I don't like the term "Vet" being thrown around with this. This doesn't represent ALL veterans. In fact, it probably doesn't represent most. The Tomb Of The Unknown Soldier is sacred space - not to be used as a political stunt by anyone. @CanadianForces

@MarcMethot3 @ArielTroster @MarcMethot3 your brother is an outstanding officer; full of integrity & makes a difference in our community. He cares about everyone. And so was your dad from what I've heard. He was before my time.

Leadership isnt micro-managing people who know how to do their job and thinking your job is the most important one in the company. Leadership is supporting your people so they have the confidence and resources to be successful. Then everyone wins....

If I'm fortunate to represent @OntarioPCParty in the Ottawa South riding in June don't expect namecalling / personal attacks from me I will focus on the issues important to the riding & discuss the other parties' policy/platform but NOT the candidates New era for πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ politics

I had to check on my 2 #daughters yesterday. Why you ask? Well, because #Amazon hadn't made a delivery to the house for three straight hours πŸ™„...so I wanted to make sure they were okay.

Attention Cyclists... The rules of the road apply to you too. If you come to a stop sign...STOP. If you are at a red light..wait until the light turns green. If you want to be respected on the road...RESPECT THE RULES.

Not one Police Officer has defended/justified the atrocity in Minneapolis. This was a criminal act by someone dressed in a Police uniform. Don't let that tarnish real Police Officers who truly care about human beings. The anger is justified. Hate isn't. Be safe...

Tomorrow is an important day to pause & remember those that made the ultimate sacrifice. It was #PoliceOfficers and #Firefighters that ran into burning buildings to save as many people as they could. #Sept11 Heros...all of them.

Incredible #courage shown by the @OttawaPolice officers running TOWARD a suspect shooting at them. After the suspect had already shot someone else We throw around terms like #HERO #courageous Well this is the true definition. They ran toward danger so you & I are safe #Thanks

Very proud of the officers working last night in the Byward Market who pursued and were shot-at by an armed suspect after he shot a bar host/security on Clarence St (non life-threatening inj). Suspect arrested, firearm retrieved, no inj to officers/suspect/patrons @OttawaPolice

@grahamctv Until we solve the homeless/addiction epidemic, we won't improve the basis of "downtown." We need housing and treatment first, AND then we can start re-imaging the nightlife scenario.
