Here's the video of my audio interview by @andypinsent.bsky.social of CFRA radio this weekend. Yep, topic is hantavirus, of course: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufkm...

Ottawa’s Housing Acceleration Plan can’t outrun the markets #ottnews #ottcity

New from me:

New from me:

The Ottawa Catholic School Board has released a letter to the province on Bill 101 expressing what it calls "serious concerns" about changes to management structure and a potential loss of local autonomy and accountability.

Brad Treliving is laugh crying somewhere.

Re-sharing with some updated numbers: Adjusted for inflation, Ontario's FAO says municipal spending on subsidized housing has grown the last 20 years, while federal and provincial spending shrank despite it being part of their responsibilities.

The number of families experiencing homelessness in Ottawa has risen 67 per cent in three years. The crisis highlights dwindling provincial and federal funding and a lack of exits for those families. #ottnews #ottcity

High-Speed Rail in Eastern Ontario: Rural Backlash, Land Expropriation and Next Steps #ottnews

‘We would destroy the neighbourhood’: Alto CEO rules out downtown Ottawa stop

I spoke to Alto CEO and President Martin Imbleau in an interview airing Saturday morning on CFRA. Alto just wrapped its first public consultation on the federal high-speed rail project with a full report due next month. A few news nuggets for Ottawa and rural Eastern Ontario: #ottnews #ottcity

Jen Gerson: Elections Alberta's massive failure could have put people in danger. I tried to warn them.

Makes you wonder what this reporter did to the layout editor to deserve this.

This is a White House influencer. She went viral a few years ago for an anti-feminism video rant.

🔴 NEW from @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social at @ms.now: "A senior law enforcement official confirms the attacker at the WHCA dinner was armed as he tried to breach the magnetometers near the entrance to the ballroom. This is a stunning security failure."

People here are being really shitty, including at fellow journalists who've been traumatized, and you will regret those posts. Or should. Also this does not help your political cause, whatever that might be.

It’s totally OK not to speculate on anything right now.

This is simply cruelty to real human beings in a dangerous situation dressed up as insight.

#BlueJays lineup today vs. lineup one year ago today.

It’s not the news we wanted to hear, but the MVCA has now upgraded its flood status for the lower Ottawa River to a flood warning. Full details here: www.clarkekelly.ca/post/west-ca...

Two of the parents I spoke to for this story are buying bottled water for their daughter’s entire kindergarten class.

Man. If Bluesky is down, what am I supposed to do with all my smugness and outrage?

School zone speed limit compliance fell from 87% to 62% within one week. Three months later, compliance was at just 41% High-end speeding went from 0.3% with cameras to 4.5% without cameras. That's drivers going more than 15km/h over the posted limit. 🏎️

PM’s statement on by-elections wins.

Voter turnout: Scarborough Southwest: 33.54 % University Rosedale: 32.99 % Terrebonne: 50.76 %

Liberals sweep all three by-elections, winning Terrebonne by 531 votes. They now have 174 seats in the House of Commons.

As we await Terrebonne result, important to note how this changes Parliament. The Liberals have indicated they won’t prorogue Parliament, which would allow them to remake the committee structure. They’ll have to pass a motion in the House of Commons to change Standing Orders on Committees.

Pierre Poilievre weighs in on news of a Liberal Majority Government.

Liberals clinch University-Rosedale riding where Danielle Martin is projected to win. Scarborough Southwest and Terrebonne outcomes still to come.

I guarantee you Trump hasn't thought about this

There's a lot going on with this latest messaging but something notable for NATO allies like Canada is Trump's statement that "Other Countries will be involved with this Blockade."

When it rains it pours.

With news of another floor crosser today, I couldn’t help but think about this Althia Raj column from Good Friday.

Something that may get somewhat lost in all the noise right now on Iran, is that China reportedly intervened at the last minute. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

Optimism: At least it was close enough for the Blue Jays to see the Dodgers closer. Progress.

Trump and the official White House rapid response account are saying that CNN is broadcasting a fraudulent statement by the Islamic Republic but it’s not. CNN is broadcasting an official regime statement that humiliates Trump. The statement is not fraudulent, it’s authentic.

Most people when they’re losing a fight, stop picking new fights.

Yup, that's the line. Looks like Tehran is going to accept the ceasefire by claiming victory and saying Trump backed down.

Calling it ‘hysteria’ lets them avoid engaging with the fact the U.S. President has not achieved any of what he said he would with Iran.

Trump Announces Two-Week Cease-Fire, Backing Down From Threats of Imminent Devastation

#BlueJays Catcher Tyler Heineman now has more innings pitched than Cody Ponce and a lower ERA than Brendon Little.

March 21: Issued a 48-hour deadline. March 23: Postponed deadline five days, claiming "productive" talks. March 26: Announced 10-day extension, claiming request from Iran. April 4: Reaffirmed 48-hour countdown to April 6. Today: Issued extension to Tuesday, April 7.

#BlueJays Notebook: Two Key Injuries Overshadow Ugly 1-5 Week

The Jays luckily have two off days in five days starting next week, which means they don’t need Corbin until around April 19.

"In one case, a driver was stopped allegedly going 79 km/h in a 40 km/h school zone on Abbott Street East." Abbott Street was the first location for automated speed enforcement (speed cameras) in Stittsville. They were removed last year by the Province of Ontario.

Faced with choices of bad, worse and worse on the Iran War, Trump used a televised address to choose none of the above.

PM’s Office says Mark Carney spoke to Donald Trump tonight and congratulated him on the successful Artemis II launch. No reference to any other topics discussed.
