Sutcliffe positions himself as “The Devil You Know.”

Up next… Demands US military bases in Cdn north. Wait for it.

Prior to the meeting none were smokers.

Councillor Tim Tierney is wrong about ‘Chronic No-Voters’ in his Ottawa Citizen Op/Ed on Saturday. His opinion would be easier to take seriously if the comments weren’t coming from someone with a 15-year track record of being a reliable yes-man for every budget. 1/21

Giving $1 million of city money to pay for private security in the Byward Market is outrageous. All it will do is displace more unwell people into Centretown and surrounding communities. And announcing this at a press conference before consulting council? Not cool. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Flashing back to the distain, dismissal and outright venom the Mayor and some Councillors spit at the Charge and PWHL reps during committee.

I love that Poilievre went into his big chance to defeat the govt full elbows down.

Who’s going to ask the Mayor if he or his OSEG buds have chipped in ? @ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social

I love how the Mayor of Lansdowne just disappears on this and many other issues. No personal political advantage to be gained = DGAF.

War is horrible, and a tragedy that damages everyone involved. The best possible way to honour the victims of war is to devote ourselves to finding ways to avoid ever fighting another war.

Hope tomorrow is garbage day at Stornoway ‘cause there’s going to be a lot of smashed furniture and broken dishes by morning.

The Mayor and Councillors treating the PWHL and Charge – the only true rent paying tenant of the arena – as an adversary put their corruption and hypocrisy on full public display. Frankly, if I owned the Charge, I’d be starting a process to move the team after today’s shitshow. #Lansdowne

It is journalistic malpractice for CTV/BellMedia’s Vassy Kapelos to have the Cdn Automobile Mfgrs Association lobbyist on her show slagging the govt’s response to Stellantis and GM shuttering plants w/o disclosing he reps ONLY the Detroit big three. Really appalling journalism.

The words “Ford plans changes” have become triggering for millions of Ontarians.

My comments on Lansdowne 2.0 The total cost, the so called ‘cost of doing nothing’, the engineer reports on building conditions, and the alternative are all discussed. www.betterlansdowne.ca/more_info?ac...

Entire thread also applicable to the Canadian auto sector Canada’s go-to economic strategy is a desperate, futile struggle to recreate supposed halcyon days. We throw endless money and effort at protecting corporations from inevitable change, instead of working out where they fit in new realities

What make Mitch Owens so deadly? 1. Drivers 2. It’s the de facto ring road. Viz: Amazon trucks by the dozens go 416, thru Manotick & rip to 417 at Boundary & same path reversed. 4. Drivers 5. Council refuses to limit/stop insane truck volumes thru Manotick. ottawacitizen.com/news/deadly-...

Another cyclist killed today. Where the *^#+ are #DayMayor and Council? It’s a killing field and most can barely muster a sad tweet. www.ottawapolice.ca/en/news/cycl... #ottbike

Narrator: Ottawa has left the room. #ottbike

Let’s gooooo! @jleiper.bsky.social for Mayor!

As true of #Canpoli as it is elsewhere.

The pedestrian and cyclist deaths by driver just keep happening. Mayor and Council busy with garage sales and donuts. #ottbike www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

www.thestar.com/business/opi... I wish economists would write more opinion columns. This one from Jim Stanford offers a fresh take on the cause of Alberta’s economic woes. Spoiler: it’s the enemy within, says Stanford.

The election is over but the MAGA onslaught against Prime Minister Carney and Canadian unity has only just started. In the gangster world of Putin, Trump and trolls, Canada is a threat because we are a democratic nation. My reflection on the coming storm. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-coming...

If Pierre doesn’t just play house in Battle River-Crowfoot but actually takes up residence there, I will support Alberta separation.

1. Poilievre can stay at Stornoway only if he pays full fair market value for the home, staff & related benefits. 2. What MP-elect abandons their $200K annual w/out compensation & solely from the good of their heart? 3. It would be illegal to induce an MP-elect to relinquish their HoC seat.

It’s the leader, stupid.

Also Premiers who wish to be read in to trade and foreign affairs issues and plans.

Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is asking for input on what respiratory virus info is important, how you use it, and if they should keep funding wastewater monitoring. Please help let OPH know this information is important ( opinion.ottawapublichealth.ca?e=446587&d=e... ). 🧵1/

Pierre Poilievre rally in Saskatoon. A participant gets kicked out from merely wearing a trans T-shirt without ever disturbing anyone. My son is friends with them. This is what they will do if they get into power. m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

According to the commercials, Stephen Harper says that his first choice now is Pierre Poilievre. That’s curious, because during a global financial crisis Harper’s first choice was Mark Carney.

A few comments on the @mark-carney.bsky.social platform released today. You can find it here: liberal.ca/cstrong/. I provided some 'sounding board' advice here and there to those working on the platform. As always: I disclose, but you can decide what weight to put on that. Thread below...

Voted in #Carleton. Quick and painless but I have beach towels smaller than the ballot.

The strategic pivot we’ve all been hoping for.

Imagine our Minister of Foreign Affairs wanting to leave the UN and agencies like WHO, believing in a conspiracy theory about the WEF. Imagine our Health Minister believing a Happy Meal is better for kids than a vaccine, our Minister of Culture being an Islamophobe and Misogynist. #canpoli #cdnpoli

Of course Conservatives are having secret briefings by American pro-tariff operatives. Of course they are. Party of Danies they are.

If Carney wants to fuck up the USA maximally, he is the one man in the world with the phone book of central bankers and politicians to achieve an alternative to the USD for global payments. I hope he is thinking likewise. — on.ft.com/4lqqTLE The battle for the global payments system is under way

-10% tariffs on oil/gas -25% auto, steel and aluminum tariffs -indication Trump will tariff other “strategic” areas, one of which is lumber A rando low-level subnational politician has no influence on any of it. This is why conservatives are blowing a 25pt lead. Delusional, the lot of them.

Dani wants to be Governor of Alberta. If Poilievre can’t stand up to a wannabe Governor why does anyone think he’s the guy to protect Canada from a dictator?

Americans? Poilievre hasn’t even figured it out.

Trump, ministre de l'agriculture des femmes.
