Avoidable Angst

Do we really need an independent probe, as some people are calling for, to investigate a bus accident? Even though the Ottawa Police Service has the expertise to investigate the OC bus accident, it is not unusual for some people to request an independent probe for answers to those tragedies that are without a clear explanation. Double-decker buses have been around for decades, including those used for sightseeing in Ottawa. Why hasn’t there been any concern with double-deckers having no roof? I believe OC Transpo has safety as a priority and a transparent review of the accident will hopefully reaffirm the confidence of those that may currently have some reservations. I also believe that no matter what we do or where we go in life there is always some type of risk. Living in fear or with some heightened level of anxiety only diminishes what we may be able to enjoy
