Pretty rough night. Been awake since 02:30.

The driver of my morning train is constantly switching between sudden acceleration/braking, so all of the passengers are swaying and stumbling back/forth.

I’m going to my office to teach one face-to-face class. The rest are online. Seems suboptimal.

I just left a sign-off message on Twitter, as my account will likely be suspended at some point. Grieving.

@SusanHR @Chigaze @BrentToderian @TheGentYYC Susan, you just mentioned something that I should also be doing here in #Ottawa. If it helps to know: we're already running electric #commutertrain ops, and slowly replacing our bus fleet with EVs.

@Chigaze @BrentToderian @TheGentYYC As individuals we can get EVs overnight. We can't make public transport happen that easily. #VancouverIsland wants a #CommuterTrain. I have written letters saying roads should only be widened for public transport but to no avail.
