👏 The Guardian. Nailed it. This is the correct headline. Any other headline that attempts to waffle on who is to blame for the shutdown is being disingenuous.

You were even told when they were ‘coming soon’.

That this even needs to be reiterated … pedestrians in this city are so screwed.

🫡 RIP.

“… this was part of an annual family day event for the Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment (AETE).” Maybe next year it’s a flight simulator instead? www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

The military helicopter making multiple low flying passes over the Glebe this morning is not at all distracting 😬

Hot tip: always carry some cash with you - especially if you have no choice but to shop at Loblaws today (and their credit/debit payment system is down).

Opinion | I'm a Republican Senator. If I don't let Donald Trump use the Department of Justice to frivolously prosecute his personal enemies, I'll be primaried by someone who will let Donald Trump use the Department of Justice to frivolously prosecute his personal enemies.

If he’d only done a better job of blending in with the curtains … thehill.com/homenews/adm...

This notion that we all need to sit in offices to be productive is so outdated and redundant. The folks pushing these return-to-office mandates will hopefully soon come to the harsh realization that they too have become outdated and redundant. People need to live downtown, not visit 9-5.

#Glebe residents: This Sat Sept 27 from 10-2pm drop off your used computers, TV, cables, phones, cameras (anything with battery or plug!) to #Glebe Kunstadt Sports (680 Bank St in parking lot)! Stop e-waste from going into landfills & raise $ for Heartwood House! Spread the word! ♻️

More of this in 2026 if the proposed budget directions are approved.

Expect more of this if the priority is keeping property taxes artificially low and deferring development fees.

McDonald’s maybe struggling a bit here with the marketing for their new veggie burger - I should hope your ‘veggie burger’ is ‘made with real veggies’?

Defer raising property taxes. Defer fees. Congratulations, you now have a home but, small side note, due to cash flow issues the city will no longer be providing any services.

For comedians around the world, the laughs often end as democracy fades

Biidaasige Park (meaning “sunlight shining toward us” in Anishinaabemowin) in Toronto is well worth the visit.

Shocking to no one that Ford’s plan to ‘give people more convenience and choice’ may ultimately end up giving people much less convenience and choice. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

🎉 Happy 6th birthday O-Train Line 1! 🎂🚊 Here’s to many more years of “world-class” rusting stations, falling concrete debris, service interruptions, replacement bus service, and the frisson of stepping onto your platform never quite knowing if you’ll get us to where we’re going on time! 🍾 ✨

What he’s admitting to here is that he doesn’t have the nous nor the mettle to step up and tackle these challenging issues head on so instead he’s chosen to run away from them like a coward and let the city crumble into ruin as a result (did he ever *really* want this job anyway?)

I am not allowing myself to think of the devastation of the parents, children, and families (😭) - but seeing enough posts in my timeline about the headlines and lack of agency given to the driver does have me thinking about him. His life has also been irrevocably changed. 1/4

*I* wouldn’t feel safe crossing this hostile intersection - it is for all intents and purposes akin to crossing a 4 lane highway - but sure, let’s send 8 year olds across it. What could possibly go wrong?

Hello, Dow’s Lake heron.

⚠️canal MUP west side closed between Bronson and Bank.

The City of Ottawa will no longer *pave over paradise* to install sidewalks in Ottawa’s Manor Park neighbourhood. Wut CTV? Look at the picture accompanying this post. Isn’t paradise *already* paved over with this wide road? Maybe add some sidewalks so that everyone can *safely* enjoy paradise?

Yo la tengo

“8 Ottawa neighbourhoods urgently need more trees. Here's where they are” And I live right smack in the worse off one.

Modest Mouse (Sleepwalking)

Any of u guys ever hear of this?

8 Ottawa neighbourhoods urgently need more trees. Here’s where they are (The twigs in tree cages along Bank Street are barely hanging on). www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Another Redblacks game and Bank Street is once again choked with traffic. I can walk faster than the 400 series buses that are caught up in the snarl.

Our latest Municipal Panel is out. RTO, budget directions and l’affaire Plante.

Pedestrian walking in road because cyclist riding on sidewalk because car parked in bike lane

In my experience the default setting for waiting (impatient) drivers is pissed - mobility impairment or no mobility impairment.

Me marooned with the only other introvert at the wedding sitting at the totally cool table.

Avoid and shop local, Ottawa.

PROTECT THESE TREE STUMPS AT ALL COSTS! 🫡

Is Barrymore’s open again you ask? Nah, it’s just a pot shop that’s opened up in the space that was The Aloha Room (the Centretown pot shop churn continues). Another downtown Ottawa landmark that’s been neglected so hard there’s probably no chance of ever restoring it to its former glory.

In 10 days, the Taskmaster and his Go-thick assistant return. Season 20 begins on Thursday 11th September on Channel 4 and on YouTube around the world.

A podcast meant to be watched on YouTube is not a podcast. It’s a video.

I'm already getting emails about other pylons. We decided to focus on just these ones in this story -- making one particular spot the focus. In this case, I'm told there was a "small cave-in" and the city hasn't started the repair work yet.

A tale of two pylons: Why these markers on Bank Street have been there for so long

Puffer jacket wearing people: it’s 18C. You’ve gone all in too early.

Exciting news for international fans of #Taskmaster! The new series will stream on YouTube only 1 hour after UK broadcast

What are the odds the 22 units set aside for affordable housing will be these redonkulous shoebox pieces of crap that seem to be the norm these days where the only placement for the sofa is directly next to the stove (aka not fit for families / multi-generational families).

Police say yep, Amalgamation Town was a bad idea - now give us more money suckers.
