It covers areas far greater than the O-Train system, and Calgary\u2019s trains run all the time in weather as cold and harsh as the winter conditions in Ottawa. Instead of looking to Calgary, those in Ottawa went on junkets around the world to study systems and in the end bought trains that can\u2019t handle our weather, etc.<\/p>\n Now Ottawa has more trains out of service than in service, and Ottawa taxpayers are on the hook for junk trains that are constantly breaking down and out of service.<\/p>\n RENE KLABOUCH Advertisement 3<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n ISN\u2019T THAT SPECIAL<\/p>\n Re: OC Transpo acknowledges slow going in O-Train axle repairs, online, Feb. 27<\/p>\n Awwww \u2026 that was nice of them.<\/p>\n TIM BAKOS CANADIANS SHOULD BE CONCERNED<\/p>\n Re: Canada can\u2019t stop foreign interference if it doesn\u2019t engage India, minister says, online, Feb. 28<\/p>\n Canadians should rightfully be concerned about foreign interference, not just from India, but from China as well. Prime Minister Mark Carney continues to align our country with those who are perpetrating this interference.<\/p>\n He shows no loyalty to Canada as so far all I\u2019m seeing are anti-Canadian policies and a PM who tells us we have to sacrifice more while he jets around the globe, eating and drinking the finest at the same time our own line up at food banks.<\/p>\n Advertisement 4<\/p>\n This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.<\/p>\n Article content<\/p>\n Watch for our economy to crumble even further and the excuses to increase because Carney is nothing but word salads and gaslighting. He has no money for Canadians, but gives away our tax dollars every time someone in another country has their hand out.<\/p>\n Enough.<\/p>\n SANDY JOHNSTON HAVE YOUR SAY<\/p>\n Your letters are welcome, at:\u00a0OttSun.Oped@sunmedia.ca<\/a>.\u00a0Include your first and last name\u00a0AND city\/town.
