A great story from Cabin Radio on our new Senate study examining the impact of climate change on critical infrastructure. This story focuses on the challenges facing the North. (And to my delight is literally illustrated with the Spider-Man finger pointing meme.) cabinradio.ca/213968/news/poli #SenateofCanada #TRCM #Canada #cdnpoli #Arctic #NWT #Yellowknife @cabinradio

And while I'm being grumpy about air travel? Here's my question from the Transport and Communications Committee hearing last week, with the Montreal and Toronto airport authorities, asking why there are no contingency plans to evacuate people who are, because of weather conditions, trapped in planes on the tarmac for hours and hours, without water or food or working bathrooms. youtu.be/mxvtIwy8FEs?si=SHHRzr #SenateofCanada #yul #yyz #TRCM #AirTravel #ClimateChange

This week, Air Canada cancelled many of its Calgary flights. (Edmonton & Ottawa lost AC and WestJet flights.) One excuse the airlines used was a pilot shortage. Is the pilot shortage real? What is driving it? Here, hot off the digital presses, is my new column for Alberta Views on the skilled labour shortages bedeviling our entire transportation sector. albertaviews.ca/not-enough-pil #AirCanada #WestJet #CN #CPKC #Porter #pilots #TransportCanada #TRCM #SenateofCanada #Canada #Calgary #yyc #yeg #yow

(And apologies for the abrupt shift from soil health posts to posts about communications policy. But I am both deputy chair of the Standing Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, and a member of the Standing Senate Committee on Transportation and Communications. So I care about soils. And transportation policy. And communications laws. It makes for an eclectic Mastodon feed, interspersed with pictures of my dog.) #AGFO #TRCM #SenateofCanada #cdnpoli #sorryabouthat

I was a reporter for 30 years, before I became a Senator. So I know governments of all varieties dump information they don't want to draw attention to on the Friday before a long weekend. That's when Canadian Heritage dropped proposed regulations for C-18, which require Google & Meta to share 4% of Canadian earning with Canadian media. University of Ottawa internet law prof, Michael Geist is....not impressed. mgeist.substack.com/p/a-4-link #C18 #BillC18 #cdnpoli #Meta #Google #TRCM #SenateofCanada

Did you know that the Nav Canada area control Centre at the Edmonton International Airport is responsible for the largest chunk of air space in North America, and the second largest in the world? Air traffic controllers in Edmonton are responsible for guiding air traffic, local, regional and international, above Yukon, NWT, Nunavut, and much of northern BC, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, plus all of Alberta. From little float planes to giant jets. (And Santa’s sleigh.) #yeg #Edmonton #Canada #TRCM
