As a Canadian, I'm about as sick of the inaction of Dem voters who constantly apologize to us about Trump as I assume they are similarly sick of their own Dem politicians who are also doing sweet fuck all.

If the view from my living room window is representative of the broader reality on Centretown's streets, there's an absolutely wild amount of blocking the box going on amongst Ottawa's motorists this afternoon.

I'm not especially keen on idea of the private army of a fascistic US president potentially being given free access to the streets of Toronto & Vancouver. Also, if he wanted to provoke a Canadian response that would provide a pretext for much more heavy-handed behaviour, this would be a way to go.

Search for "Mark Sutcliffe" and "youth homelessness". Now do the same and add "before:2025" to your search. Notice the difference in search results. Where was this energy to combat youth homelessness in '23? '24? Could this sudden urgent interest in this issue be due to a coming election?

New post: the US administration has inserted itself into Canada's internal affairs. This is a clear violation of Canadian sovereignty, and an indicator of things to come. Canada, and Canadians must respond.

I haven't heard Carney's speech from today yet, but one of my customers said he gave it on the Plains of Abraham; that never seems like a great choice of venue for Anglo PMs to give speeches from if you ask me. Give it from in front of the Chateau Frontenac or whatever. It's just down the way ffs!

I have no idea what possessed me to look this up. I'm glad I did. I never really watched this show, though I often tuned in just to watch the opening "credits" and listen to the theme music which I found simultaneously futuristic and creepy.

Itâs bittersweet witnessing creative governance here in Ontario. Iâm happy for Torontonians who stand to benefit from having a mayor that actually gives a shit about people, but as an Ottawan itâs infuriating knowing what we could have but donât have because we perpetually deny ourselves.

If (inner) urban Ottawa and rural Ottawa have one thing in common, is a sense of being disenfranchised by amalgamation. It would be fun to see a campaign to de-amalgamate Ottawa led by two groups that want absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Everything else aside, a veteran politician wrote a whole op-ed about how the failures of city policies he identifies are the fault of the people who, unlike him, vote against those policies.

This thread is worth a read. Highlight? âbut the saga showed that the voices of external experts carried less weight than the perceived wants and desires of suburban homeowners.â This is the quintessentialâOttawa experienceâ.

How are things supposed to get better when the people largely responsible for the Cityâs static response to crisis after crisis continue to get voted in election after election? Whatâs that quote about insanity and doing the same thing over and over again?

A cynic might wonder if the City is doing a babysteps rollout because some people might fear a successful citywide rollout would score political points for a cadre of councillors that are currently on the outside looking in, one of whom is running against the current mayor in the â26 election.

Watching a councillor try to gaslight Redditors on the opportunity costs that come with financing Lansdowne 2.0âs debt is making me (even) angrier about this current term of Council and is sharpening my eagerness for next yearâs election. Some of you got swallowed whole by OSEG and it shows.

Ottawa, take note (especially if you live in the Red Zone). They'll likely be winding their way downtown around 11.30 am or so. If you live in any of the neighbourhoods that were adversely affected by the original convoy, be aware and spread the word that these dopes will be around.
