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

Nominated Katy and Justin for the NHL Prize in Chemistry. Baby, those are fireworks.

City: We unanimously declare a climate emergency! We must make change no matter what the cost, humanity's survival depends on it! Community: Can we put in a protected bike lane to get more people cycling. City: No, we'll lose parking spots.

Congratulations to Kyle Humphrey for winning the first-ever Accessible Ottawa Award. Kyle is an incredible advocate for Paratranspo riders and people with disabilities all across our city. He is also famous for crowd surfing in his wheelchair at Bluesfest and at shows all over Ottawa.

Parenting young kids is having more rocks and sticks in your home than outside of it.

Seeing the City still on Twitter is embarrassing as a taxpayer, btw. They pay for that crap.

Most are there because they think their follower counts matter. Its pure ego. People with 10k followers and 10-20 engagements on their posts still think the 10k is a real number. Clinging to your 15 minutes, clueless.

It’s really fun to spend years working with residents and city staff to move important projects along and then have the provincial government just cancel everything due to toxic populism.

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

The greatest trick the devil ever played was getting elected President…twice

Go Foekstra yourself, Pete.

My buddy this morning.

That's filthy. #Leafsforever

Updated: ReBound Press Christmas Gift Baskets - and a DRAW for Ottawa book lovers! peggyblair.wordpress.com/2025/11/17/u...

Well, it looks like my website, reboundpress.com, is up and running again and Square is processing payments from book sales so all processes are back online ... Phew!

There are two speed cameras on Walkley Rd between Bank and St Laurent that were installed in 2024. In 2022 that stretch of Walkley had 34 collisions with injuries. In 2024, after the cameras were turned on, there were just 4 collisions with injuries. Speed cameras work.

Some dink in a pickup just spun his tires by the former speed camera on Jeanne d'arc in front of Terry Fox elementary.

When asked about skipping COP30 and the implications of upsetting and disrespecting a Brazilian people, Trump remarked "Wow. How many is a brazilian?"

Con't quite put my finger on why Alberta leads the charge here.

From-scratched a vegan "turkey-dinner styled" roulade this evening. Mash. Broc. Beets. Gravy. Turned out awesome.

Tremendous to hear some veteran Ottawa city councillors argue that Lansdowne 2.0 is needed because the previous overhaul that they voted for is crap.

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

Be the change you want to see.

Aussie dog yoga is the best yoga.

When the City of Ottawa asked for help from Federal Ottawa re transit, I don't think reducing demand through slashing public service jobs was what they meant.

One of the highlights of my visit to South Africa was a bike tour of Soweto (www.sowetobackpackers.com ), an area on the southwest side of Johannesburg. This article is a great read.

Part of my certification as a rail traffic controller involves rotating to overnight shifts a few times a year. That's my week this week. From the hustle of running the afternoon rush to managing maintenance activities and track permits. By Thursday I'll be a zombie.

What a run. Proud to be a Jays fan.

Best world series in years. Onto the 11th.

Let's go Jays!

I have never enjoyed an MLB team more than this year’s Toronto Blue Jays team. At a time where domestic and world news hammers you down daily, they have provided me and my family with endless optimism and spirit. It doesn’t matter in the big picture but then again, it’s also everything.

NEW- We’ve discovered 7 concerning issues with the new information on Lansdowne 2.0 released by the city just one week ago- 1) $17.4 million per year (not $4.3 million) is being carved out of Ottawa’s Budget until 2070 to pay for Lansdowne 2.0 debt ($696 million in payments).

Looks like the province is walking back the most egregious change that they were proposing on tenant protection. Eroding tenant protection is unconscionable, especially in this economic environment: low vacancy, high rents, looming recession. Housing is a human right.

Over the last few years, I've backed away (mostly) from eating meat. There are various reasons, but a big one is that I love animals and think the way they're mass farmed and executed (processed) is abhorrent. This discussion on the truckers subreddit tonight was something...

Trump, angry that Ontario aired Reagan's speech during the World Series after his first tantrum, will now punish (checks notes) *the American people* with higher costs.

Barger with the pinch hit grand slam. Then Kirk hits another homer in the inning. Wild game. Let's go Blue Jays

Let’s go Blue Jays 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

Pausing the ads so that trade talks can resume. Talks with a thin-skinned wannabe authoritarian who can't be trusted to keep his word and who's just shown everyone -- again -- that he isn't a reliable negotiating partner. This isn't strategic. This is flailing.

I said this when Trump first threatened tarrifs and called us the 51st, I'll say it again now that trade talks have halted for the epsteinth time this year. We Canadians need to stop doing business with and visiting America. It is the only recourse a citizen can take.

World Series bound!

Headed out through the California forest yesterday. No, not that California... the forest in Ontario just south of White Lake. Most of the leaves have fallen already. Signs of winter incoming. #motosky

NJ Devils have long been my second crush after the Leafs. Nice to see them off to a great start.

Wonder why Carter Hart didn't sign with Nashville.

Dan Mangan at The Bronson Center, Ottawa. Incredible Canadian songwriter and performer. If anyone knows "Fiona", I got a good shot of her birthday wish. Share it with her.

Music's fine, it is how it's always been. Pop music is mostly hooks and fluff that's fun sometimes, stuff you see live is better than the stuff in your playlist, and the really good shit that moves your soul needs to be looked for.

Took down New York from Jay to Zee. 🎶 Neeeewwwww Yorrrrrk... concrete jungle wet dream tomatooooo. (Or whatever Rhiannah says there) 🎶

Beer league hockey last night, watching the Jays at 9:59pm in the locker room. On the ice at 10pm. I love fall. Blue Jays got it done, and looked pretty good doing it.

Yankees tie it. Judge with the bomb. This is a hell of a game.
