Completed in 1924, 30 Windsor Avenue (called the Wilson Apartments) was the first apartment building on this stretch of Riverdale Avenue close to Windsor Park. In 1928, major flooding of the Rideau River threatened this area of Old Ottawa South. #Ottawa #613history www.instagram.com/p/DSKyyBhEei...

I found an article but no reason given: www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

Mark is campaigning because he can. He’s using earned media by the power of his position because the only other way is through paid, and he can’t do that yet. And the official channels of the city and police are also becoming his distribution. These are norms being abused and he’s not going to stop

What Sutcliffe did with the $1 million bullshit announcement is leverage non-political services to intentionally subvert the ability of city council to even have a discussion and he should be taken to the carpet for it. Non-stop cuz he’s just getting started. Marks done this 2x already #ottawa

And one of the issues that they have to counter is that what we see in the amalgamation of power into smaller and smaller concentrations groups/actions is that there’s a level of shamelessness required for this. And that shamelessness is giving folks the ability to rewrite the boundaries #ottawa

I think any / all #ottawa city councillors who have a somewhat identifiable value set to publicly shame and oppose what Sutcliffe is doing. This isn’t about just getting things done. It’s intentional and undemocratic and folks can’t wait till 2026 to start calling this out on mass 2/

I could probably name the #ottawa city councillors who will not say anything / don’t care at the Dec 10th budget approval meeting about Sutcliffe’s fuckery of using media announcements to preempt the decisions of city council. Mayors are doing this cuz other levels of government are doing this 1/

Yardley’s Antiques has been an institution on Bank Street in Old Ottawa South since 1986. It’s been at its current spot, 1240 Bank (just south from Cameron Ave) near Trinity Anglican church since 1995. The building was built circa 1920. 🏢 #Ottawa #613history www.instagram.com/p/DR7QhyDkWn8/

This bus was parked on the wrong side of the road, on the sidewalk, blocking the sidewalk and bike lane. I asked one of the half dozen cops standing 20 feet away to write them a ticket and he said "I prefer not writing tickets". And then just did nothing.

A councillor who was at the centre of a corruption trial in 2019 has an op/ed in the Citizen today, suggesting that downtown councillors that are critical of ballooning police budgets are responsible for crime rates attributed to the housing and addiction crises. ottawacitizen.com/news/local-n...

Should I be able to see my frozen breath in a LRT station deep underground? Asking for a large group of very cold commuters. #Ottawa

WTF is this? If prviate, profit-seeking businesses want t pay for security, they can. I would rather the city spend OUR money on solving problems, not shuttling them out of the way.

The longterm livability of Ottawa has often depended on City Council’s decisions. There are last impacts to the shape of the city when the shortsighted personal interests of individual lobbyists are prioritized over the community’s public good. 🏘️🏰🏢 #Ottawa #OttPoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Federal government announces $36.2M for Rideau Canal repairs and maintenance

The City of Ottawa deploys pedestrian-calming infrastructure. Salt speed bumps by Sutcliffe.

For the sake of clarity, I propose that the one in the Glebe be renamed Central Central Park, and the other one Not Quite As Central Central Park.

Yes, Ottawa has two places named Central Park. One is in the Glebe, and one is just west of Merivale and north of Baseline. #Ottawa #CentralPark

Do we think there is enough off-peak ridership to justify a return to 5-min headways on L1? 1130 train getting busier and busier as it approaches the core. Standing room only now. Transit Commission budget meeting Monday Nov 24. Time to write your Councillor to demand better off-peak frequency.

Why does this stink more than garbage? #Ottawa #OttPoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Is Ontario becoming a hub for white nationalism? @jeyantvo.bsky.social asked CBC's @ericszeto.bsky.social and Steven Rai (@isdglobal.org) about the groups that are hiding in plain sight.

This is the war memorial cenotaph in Manotick, on the Rideau River south of Ottawa. 🇨🇦☮️🌐 #Ottawa #Manotick #RemembranceDay “The Manotick Cenotaph was erected about 1962 by the Manotick Legion and the former Rideau Township.” www.veterans.gc.ca/en/remembran...

When concrete tower block housing went up en masse after World War II, most people were fucking ecstatic to move into them because they had the holy trinity of novelties people rarely had in 1950: indoor toilets, hot water, and electricity.

It is genuinely hard for most people to grasp how poor the past was.

This is not a healthy city

There’s a pattern to the #Lansdowne2 vote. #OttPoli #OttCity

Priorities ... #ottcity #Lansdowne2 #ottLRT #OCTranspo

Ottawa just voted 15–10 for Lansdowne 2.0, a “revitalization” that saddles taxpayers with decades of debt so OSEG can call it partnership. The city gets the bill, OSEG gets the benefit. A ridiculous decision that will define Ottawa’s future for generations. Shame on council. #OttCity #Lansdowne2

Happy Mark Sutcliffe Tying Cinder Blocks to the City’s Longterm Financial Stability and Pushing it Into the Canal Day to those who celebrate

You would think the mayor was being ironic here when he says that we can't acquiesce to demands of wealthy sports owners, right before he says we need to be careful we don't lose the other wealthy sports owners in the same stadium 🤣🤣 #Ottawa #Lansdowne2.0

Ottawa City Council live now. #OttPoli #Ottawa www.youtube.com/live/C94IU-g...

Born 1943, she’s 82 today and a goddess always. I have always *loved* sharing a birthday with her. Another prairie child from Canada. I’m not sure if any popular musician has ever exceeded her work in her peak years. Send her your blessings?

Only one day until Mayor Mark Sutcliffe and 15 Councillors vote to saddle Ottawa with half a Billion in debt for Lansdowne 2.0. Also remember that the next municipal election is in 2026.

I'm sure nobody wanted to get home. Waiting an hour is an appropriate time for public transit. Thanks OC Transpo
