No lights, no siren, not in a rush, clearly not responding to a call. I wonder how many blocks they went before they decided to follow the law? Top notch #autowa right here, folks.

47 going on about aceing cognitive tests is not the flex he thinks it is. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

"To lose her on a morning commute at an intersection the city has explicitly documented as dangerous for years is just an unmitigated tragedy, a systemic failure." Deaths like Louisa's occur because our leaders prioritize the convenience of drivers over the safety of pedestrians and cyclists.

In light of recent local fireworkings and piss poor flood response: (pic courtesy of @davidmoscrop.com)

For people who solely want to dunk on Ottawa for this fireworks debacle, please remember that the decision to set these fireworks off in the first place was made by a federal ministry (Dept of Canadian Heritage) and not the City. The decision not to tell us beforehand, though? 100% City of Ottawa.

How to Park in #Autowa: Do your best to not inconvenience other motorists, force pedestrians into the street.

Noted, unrepentant Convoy-supporter Stella Luna, doing what they can to rehabilitate their shredded image.

I'm not sure if #ottbike is aware, but the Costco on Blair now has a bunch of bike racks on the west side of the store.

For context, this jackass' district is the most Republican one in New York state. She also toured the ICE gulag in El Salvador, is the only House delegate from NY (which includes 7 from the GOP) to vote against same-sex marriage in '22 and pushed a bill to make Trump's birthday a national holiday.

Anybody who uses the word “warrior” in 2026 (other than for gaming purposes) is a desperate, delusional loser.

Whenever you forget how corrupt FIFA is, remember this. Belgium absolutely has to win this game.

Jonathan Banks reprises him Mike Ehrmantraut character from Breaking Bad for a message for America’s 250th "There is right vs. left. And there is right vs. wrong"

"Taylor, do you take this football man to be your hibbely habbely hoobily forever??"

This is OBSCENE The developer who demovicted dozens of tenants from a heritage building at Bank & Nepean was being pursued for *$65 MILLION IN DEBTS* when the City of Ottawa rezoned the property to let the developer build a luxury condo No condo was ever built and the property is now up for sale

I'm looking for the temperature range that landlord-provided hot water has to be in Ottawa and either Ottawa.ca sucks or my search skills suck, because I can't find the standard anywhere… which feels problematic. Top result for "hot water tenant landlord Toronto" yields 45ºC–49ºC. Ottawa? 🤷‍♂️

How to make a bad first impression with tourists: halve the frequency of the LRT line that connects the airport to the rest of the city. Also: I can't think of a better way to prove transit pundits right when they say L4 is useless than reducing frequency to 24 mins. Nobody's going to use L4.

RWNJ: "People coming from abroad are coming here to commit terrorist acts" Montreal: "You mean like that incel with a manifesto that travelled all the way from Alberta and killed two people yesterday?" RWNJ: "No, not like that!" globalnews.ca/news/1191756...

“I don’t care if you’re sorry. I want you to do something about it.”

FYI, the Redblacks' first two home games had 15,038 (season opener) and 13,943 attendees. Redblacks revenue is the 2nd biggest pool of $ that will be used to pay off the debt of building Lansdowne 2.0. City projections were based on v optimistic RB revenue growth. 🤔 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

More antisocial behaviour from Ontario's deeply (and increasingly radical) conservative bible belt.

Saw a Tesla driver cut off 3 kids in a crosswalk along Elgin today. He was an older white man (because of course he was) with a golf bag (somehow unsurprising) in his passenger seat. #autowa

Any Canadian company that would put this vicious imbecile to work needs to suffer deep economic consequences. www.yahoo.com/news/kristi-...

This is the result of Harper-era leadership that took the network out of the running for NHL broadcasting rights. HNIC was the CBC’s #1 source of ad revenue. Today is the result of very early Conservative defunding efforts. This will cripple our national broadcaster. www.cbc.ca/sports/cbc-n...

If a body was trying to stop itself from shamelessly spewing bullshit into the internet, I imagine it would spasm almost identically to this.

Quick research survey about #OttBike. Research Project: What are the perceived barriers to cycling in Ottawa, and what urban design changes could address them in the context of a 15-minute city? (I'm not affiliated with the study, just sharing to boost reach).

Somebody made a Z's (IYKYK) post on r/ottawa today and it reminded me that I have a bunch of sets from the '07-'09 (?) era recorded. Not the tightest mixing, but considering we monitored thru the backs of our ears (again, IYKYK) and played on rackmount Denons I think we did alright.

Ottawa's home opener attendance is down 30% this year and suddenly we start hearing ads for the Redblacks on OC Transpo's buses? Must be a coincidence. I'm sure all of the City's rosiest Lansdowne 2.0 projections hinging on the Redblacks selling out most of its games has nothing to do with this. 🤔

I’m amused that the same spot that provided the convoy with a staging area is hosting a “green fair”.

There's a disturbing tendency in this City (and in the Mayor's office) to wait on other levels of gvt before acting, or even choosing to act. What happens if/when the prov legislation is useless? How long are City staff content to allow tenants fall prey to landlords with $ signs in their eyes?

City staff should not have the right to withhold the renoviction bylaw from Council or the public. This issue deserves transparency and democratic debate. My motion to get the bylaw back on the table passed Planning and Housing Committee by 9-3. It goes to council next week.

@arieltroster.com This one-way sign needs replacing, as it seems to be giving plenty of motorists license to drive the wrong way on a one-way street. This is exiting Jack Purcell Lane @ Frank.

In case you were wondering what Alex Lawson is all about…

Also… how much sense does it make that OPS doesn’t have roadblocks for streets that lead to Elgin today?

I wonder how many out-of-town runners are going to get stressed out by using our moribund public transit system to get to their races this weekend and come to the conclusion that Ottawa is a failed city, deciding this year's the last time they come here to participate in Race Weekend 🤔

Total aside: It always drives me nuts when media releases or communications with a list of streets don't include a map highlighting those streets.

Just picked up my bib for race weekend. It took less time to wait in line to snag my bib than it did to walk the ridiculous serpentine vendor’s gauntlet to get out of the building. 🏃‍♀️ mustconsumemustconsume 🏃

I served this gentleman at work earlier this year. He was a lovely person and considering his history of support for the people of Palestine, I'm not at all surprised that he remained steadfast in his support despite the resistance he was met with at this event.

What’s wrong with this picture? #autowa

I’ve got a bad feeling for some reason. Beauty day out, Victoria Day weekend… strikes me as the kind of day that some white supremacist fucks might think would be ideal do one of their photo ops. Hope I’m not manifesting this by saying it aloud, but I’m having a hard time shaking this feeling.

Ahem, @dianachanmcnally.bsky.social

Top-tier trolling job.

With so many services now dedicated wholly and exclusively to rural wards, the next logical step would be for them to secede from the City of Ottawa so they those wards (or “villages”) can better serve their constituents.

I can’t help but wonder what responsibilities the demo company has to mitigate dust issues for other people who live in the neighbourhood. @arieltroster.com

Today I found out that a 9-storey building is going to go up right outside my window. The view of my neighbourhood that I’ve had for 15 years will be replaced by a wall of red brick. I can’t wait to see how little direct sunlight I’ll be getting in the coming years.

Seems very much like he’s campaigning on the City’s dime. Maybe he should go over to Cyrville Road and register his candidacy if he wants to be Mayor? Otherwise he’s just being greasy. 🤔

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

As someone who thinks Sutcliffe is going to bow out of this mayoral election, I can’t help but wonder if hiring Leary was a deliberate attempt to make public transit an unmanageable disaster, thus making any new Mayor’s job virtually impossible re: transit and ensuring they’re a one-term mayor 🤔

The only useful purpose Alex Lawson has in this upcoming municipal election is as a sponge to leech right-wing votes away from Sutcliffe. If this is his view of homeless folks with drug addiction issues, he'd be a horror show of a mayor. Spread the word.

Just did the census. Did it seem really short to anybody else or is it just me?
