After a heated exchange at a meeting on the ongoing school bus driver shortage, west Ottawa Coun. Clarke Kelly was ejected.

The Ottawa Student Transportation Authority is facing pressure from students and parents to fix the city's school bus driver shortage after the association cancelled 300 bus routes before this school year.

In a two-minute clip that circulated on X, formally known as Twitter, Kelly can be heard questioning OSTA's general manager Vicky Kyriaco on the lack of solutions to improve student transportation in rural areas such as his. "I would say that it definitely was a heat-of-the-moment thing. I don't necessarily think I regret — I don't regret saying that," he said.
