Riverside Drive will undergo lane closures starting May 19 as part of the Bank Street Renewal Project. Traffic delays are expected throughout the spring and summer as crews replace aging sanitary and storm sewers. For more: https://bit.ly/3QqgxjQ

A new White House ballroom won’t stop these kinds of events for two reasons: It would just be a different security perimeter that lunatics would try to breach. And Republicans will always make sure the guns that assassins need are readily available.

Given the fact that the media in Ottawa is almost fully captured by Sutcliffe, these new polling numbers from Liaison are pretty remarkable. Under water on every major issue including MASSIVE unpopularity of Lansdowne 2.0. Source: www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/s/B...

Yep, auditor probe. There's more to this story, the dude flipped way too fast. #onpoli

Of course this is a priority right now. We have a mayor that believes in low taxation, and a council that spends without a second thought. You can't have both. share.google/p2bC2tMLJpIz...

This doesn’t just impact the US - the SPLC has been covering movements for years that have been present in Canada, especially, Neo-Nazis and the Hammerskins movement. The are important to the global conversation around hate and this is why they are being targeted.

I wonder in the post AI World what humans are going to be referred to as - Meatbags? Oxygen consumers? Good ol' labour/manpower? Brave New World 😂

This is the most idiotic road expansion because it undercuts demand for the brand new LRT we just built to service the same area

Questions remain: will we actually invest the $85m in transit or will it be watered down and used for roads? Will our provincial taxes go up to cover the cost that the province is now covering? Remember there is 1 taxpayer. Metrolinx isn’t going to do this for free.

He didn’t bother for 2 reasons: first, he doesn’t have a case and knows it. Second, if the public didn’t get really mad about it, the media would continue covering for him.

Omg this is a depressing thread. Why haven't governments done something about this?

Monday reminder to get your spring Covid-19 vaccine. Available from your family physician or pharmacy. Seniors, Indigenous populations, LTC or other congregated living, and anyone who is immunocompromised should get their booster (six months since last dose), and first doses for infants 6m+

Drug Frod says nobody's scrutinised like him, which is also why he's killing FOI over everything he and his MPPs want to do in secret. Ford the peoples, Ford 'em hard And if the damn plebes see your contempt, corruption, & greed, then whine like nobody else in Canada. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Yes. Blame John Roberts. There’s lots more blame to go around.

All aboard the gravy plane! ✈️💸 Not enough money for OSAP, public education, health care, or real affordability measures in Ontario. But a $29 million private jet purchase for Premier Ford? No problem! So much for fiscal responsibility. #onpoli www.thestar.com/politics/pro...

There is a new special #weather statement out for #Ottawa for, yes, more #rain for Saturday and Sunday with rainfall amounts of 10 to 20 mm. Data: weather.gc.ca/en/location/... #meteorology #EnvironmentCanada

Been a rough week for L1.

Thread. Important one.

Gas tax breaks are bandaids at best. Real solution is to help low & middle-income Cdns get off fossil fuels. Invest in solar, heat pumps, batteries, EVs. Tackle barriers, offer real incentives & fund w/ windfall tax on Big Oil (who are laughing all the way to the bank). Cleaner, cheaper, healthier.

For those commuting. This is still ongoing an hour in.

Another day, another power-grabbing omnibus bill from the reckless Ford Conservatives. This education bill cuts communities out, sidelines local trustees, and hands more control to the Minister. More power from Toronto. Less voice for you. #onpoli www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/poli...

A grim anniversary in #Sudan.

#Ottawa heads up. The city hasn't quite hit the alarm bells yet, but we are in for another almost 30 mm of rain over the next 7 days. Coupled with snowmelt, projections have us at high risk levels of flooding in the usual areas in the next 5 days. We'll keep tabs on it.

Going from an open straight to a closed straight is a failure regardless of who is blocking it. In fact, the Straight of Hormuz being blockaded by the Americans is almost worse in that it is a direct provocation to both China and Russia. This is like 50% of all WWIII simulations.

Suneeta Millington’s recent Macleans article on "The Uglification of Canada" should resonate deeply in Ottawa. When poor design becomes normalized, it spreads — and the costs, civic and economic, compound over time if left unchecked. 1/ macleans.ca/culture/the-...

If you haven't had a chance yet, give some feedback to the city on their Beechwood Avenue plan. It's definitely a great start, but some of those intersections e.g., St. Charles and Beechwood, are still going to be extremely wide and unsafe for cyclists/pedestrians. engage.ottawa.ca/beechwood

"In a move critics charge is “anti-democratic,” Premier Doug Ford plans to appoint the chairs of Halton, Durham and several other regions while giving them “strong” powers now held only by elected mayors."

This is pretty bleak. Ontario is being run by anti-science climate deniers, despite record numbers of extreme heat days last year and one of the warmest winters on record.

New from me: When Doug Ford refuses to disclose records, loses in court, and then moves to change the law to avoid disclosure, it raises a simple question. What is Ford trying so hard to hide? www.canadianlawyermag.com/news/opinion...

After watching the rocket launch, the juxtaposition between the sense of communal wonder and hope that I felt with so many of my fellow humans, and the feelings of utter rage and dread that this news brings me now is almost incomprehensible. What are we doing? What is this cursed timeline?

“The $13.8-billion deficit in 2026-27 is $6-billion more than Ontario had projected just last fall. Ontario also now expects to remain $6.1-billion in the red in 2027-28, when it had previously said it expected a surplus that year. Ontario’s books aren’t set to be balanced until 2028-29.”
