Availability

CATSA’s YouTube channels are also subject to downtime that may be out of CATSA’s control, because YouTube servers are managed by a third party. As such, we accept no responsibility for the YouTube website becoming unresponsive or unavailable.

Subscribers/Friends

At this time, CATSA only accepts friend requests from other Government of Canada institutions and organizations that we believe are relevant to the mandate of our work - specifically, as it relates to transportation and infrastructure. This could include accepting requests from YouTube accounts of non-profit organizations, associations and other governmental agencies.

You are required to have a valid YouTube account to subscribe to CATSA's YouTube channel.

We will only take steps to remove or block subscribers if they do not abide by this YouTube Policy. Users may also be reported to YouTube if they do not comply to YouTube's terms of use.

The appearance of a YouTube user as a follower of the CATSA account does not imply endorsement, nor does CATSA subscribing to any particular channel or following any particular user.

Feedback and Messages

Feedback and interaction is highly encouraged. All video and channel comments, as well as email sent to the YouTube account will be read, and any emerging themes or helpful suggestions will be passed to the relevant people in CATSA. Although we are not able to reply individually to all messages, they will be handled on a case-by-case basis and responded to when deemed appropriate.

If we feel a comment or a question posed to CATSA requires a response and/or a greater level of detail, we may develop a formal response and distribute the information through other channels such as our website or other social media channels. We will pay attention to emerging themes and helpful suggestions and look forward to this potential interaction.

Media are asked to send questions to CATSA’s spokesperson.

CATSA cannot engage in issues of party politics or answer questions that break the rules of our commenting policy.
