Caught a stand off between a (baby) raccoon and a (momma?) squirrel. Surprisingly, squirrel won (raccoon gave up). I think it was protecting its nest, and maybe some babies, higher up in the tree. #OttawaRiver

Too much? 😈

Massive street party in Budapest right now: huge crowds dancing, hugging, crying, and opening bottles. (Reuters)

In Trump's head if America is being nuked, first think people would think "I wonder how Dow is doing today."

The United States LOST 150,000 manufacturing and construction jobs last year.

Good question!

This reality check by Rebecca Solnit grabs you right from the killer first sentence. Do yourself a favor & give it a read.

Would love to know how the Liberals that want to ban teenagers from using social media feel about Mark Carney calling for AI in the classroom? “AI in education can meet every child where they are”

Because the little toddler narcissist needs his daily dose of daily adoration.

thenarwhal.ca/alberta-orph... Albertans! We're gonna be paying for these....

The Dream Team failed. Total shock. We sent two of our most mediocre real estate developers and a fraud. Who could’ve guessed this outcome?

no active shooter. Some dude with a replica gun #UOttawa #UniversityofOttawa

Just got the all-clear from uOttawa. No injuries currently reported.

Completely agree. I see on Facebook UOttawa only just shared the police report I saw 20 minutes ago on socials. But no other information

Omg 😲 The University of Ottawa says there is a “violent incident occurring on campus,” telling students to avoid the area and shelter in place if they are present at the school. “If a violent attacker is close by, be ready to run, hide or, if your life is in imminent danger, defend yourself..."

Even the New York Times is covering it. Still no real information from anyone www.nytimes.com/2026/04/10/w... #UOttawa #UniversityofOttawa

FWIW, here is the current view of Nicholas & Laurier You can see a few police vehicles on scene, but the street isn't shut down, cars, buses and pedestrians are still flowing through the area

And Global News #UniversityofOttawa #UOttawa globalnews.ca/news/1177410...

My son is in lockdown there now

On CTV now: www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...

Something going on - checked Reddit.

For those in Ottawa, the University of Ottawa is in lockdown due to a violent threat. Police are on the way

What's going on the UOttawa? My kid says he's in lockdown. No other info.

I know a lot of people have thoughts about this but I will say one thing: many men run for the same political office multiple times before they actually secure it. More women in politics need to do that.

this might be my favourite correction ever

I knew it was bad but really didn’t appreciate it was quite this bad as.ft.com/r/db911dd6-f...

Just watched the indie film #Bird, streamed on #Mubi. So good. Somehow I missed the buzz about it in 2024 when it was released. Definitely recommend. One of the best things I've seen all year. Great soundtrack too.

You know something has gone terribly wrong when 94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies while the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Hello?

The fuck is this shit? What is she getting out ahead of?

"In every conversation I have with employers -- from #mining and #construction to #energy and #manufacturing -- the message is consistent: 'We need more #skilledworkers, and we need them faster,'" says Dr. Dr. Larry Rosia, President and CEO Saskatchewan #Polytechnic #cdnpoli #labourcrisis #skills

"Resilience becomes a cover for neglect. Duty becomes a substitute for policy...disability supports must be strong enough to stand without family collapse. Housing, income security and community-based care cannot depend on unpaid sacrifice to function." BOOM! #CdnPoli
