Listen up: I am one of those rare sex assault victims who actually took the guy who did it to court. It was a local scandal that put my initials on the front page of the local paper (not my whole name because I was a minor). You have no idea what happens to women on the stand or in the press.

Hey #ottbike Innes rd between Jeanne d'arc and Orleans blvd is a mudbath of potholes and people who literally want to kill you. Just wanted to go from Convent Glen to Canadian Tire. This city is trying to kill pedestrians and cyclists.

With rapidly rising energy prices, now would be a great time for Canada to remove the GST on bicycles and cycling safety gear. Maybe no GST on the first $2000 of the cost of a bicycle or $3000 of a EN/UL certified E-Bike? Doing this now would capture the start of the warmer weather commuting time.

I can't help but wonder if Trump will wind up being the Franz Ferdinand of WW3.

Oh, it was Bored of Peace. I read that wrong.

"The wars will continue until I win a Nobel Peace Prize!" —Donald J. Trump, probably.

Breaking: The Olympic gold-winning U.S. women's hockey team DECLINES Trump's invitation to his State of the Union address after he was caught on video mocking them.

Just heard that Brady Tkachuk also lost 3 teeth this afternoon in addition to Hughes losing 2 on that high stick. It's a crazy game of chance and self sacrifice. Brady lost his trying to get the chocolate out of the gold medal.

American women are putting on a clinic against Canada right now. Let's go team 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦

accidentally Googled Dad Bunny and the song said ¿porqué el tomate no toma café? Porque toma té

Bugs Bunnny was awesome.

Ogilvie road had been a disaster for winter cycling this year. The bike lane is already pretty awful, but it's not cleared in odd places forcing me into squeeze situations, crazy potholes and sewers, and there's no other option to go from Blair to St Laurent. #ottbike

The handwriting on the shopping list wasn't entirely clear, so I hedged.

Looking for someone experienced with InDesign in the Ottawa area who can tutor me on their computer using their subscription until I get the hang of it. Objective is to learn how to typeset full length books. Flexible schedule!

Dogs are not walking tomorrow. Nope.

Canadian Winter. 🇨🇦 🍁 🇨🇦

Completely divested of all American stocks and investments. No purchases of American products, no American streaming services, no American travel planned. The sign in my window has been taken down.

Canadian morning. 🇨🇦

Super bummed... My bicycle pedal worked loose, and stripped all the threads before falling off on my way to work. Can't use a standard crank arm, I have to wait a week or 2 for a new one. I need my morning rides.

I lived this in Ottawa. How does a city transit service survive the reputational damage that is caused by poor decision making made without it's input in the planning stages? How does a city survive the 3P structure and associated loss of control that comes with 3P contracts?

No Canada, no USA in the gold medal game at the WJC championships. Pretty shocking, tbh. Both great teams. Sweden vs Czechia, also both great teams, but can't say I'm not disappointed!

Super crappy that we won't get a Can/USA WJC game this year. SWE just squeezed by the very gutsy FIN team. Great hockey. Here's hoping Canada 🇨🇦 can get by CZE tonight for a date with Sweden 🇸🇪. #worldjuniorchampionship

Just need Tavares to get a filthy one, because fuck the Islanders. #Leafsforever

421, all-time Leafs leader in goals. This fanbase doesn't deserve Auston Matthews. #Leafsforever

Canal skate today. Ottawa Canada.

It was a year of exploration. Lots of riding. Rode over the Himalayas in India, camped and walked Iceland, rode the local forests and towns here in Ontario. New people, new languages, new places. Gonna do it again this year. Bring on '26.

@rogersherman.com Happy New Year Rog. Hope this year is wonderful and prosperous for you, your family, your health, and your hockey team.

#WJC #IIHF 5 and a game for a hit like that is a travesty. #hockeycanada vs #latvia

My winter 2 wheeler. Had no idea how much fun pedal assist could be in the snow on my way to work.

A mass shooting in Australia is news. A mass shooting in America is Saturday. It's the guns, people. It's the guns.

Seeing fellow Leafs fans turn on Marner, and now Matthews... We cannot have nice things. Both goaltenders out. Big pieces on D out. And they're still hanging around. Take about 20% off the rage, fans. It's not that bad, and without 34 it's way worse.

Feeder is hoppin' this morning.

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
