If someone chooses to live in a smaller home in the inner city in part to avoid a long commute, they generally don’t pressure society to build them a bigger house with more stuff. So if you choose a bigger stuff-filled house in the suburbs, don’t expect society to build you a fast car commute.

This is a rebuilt intersection, at Richmond and Golden. After last night's rain, it's flooded and a mess. Ottawa appears to not care about pedestrians. @jleiper.bsky.social @toondreessen.bsky.social

Good morning to Habs fans and Habs fans only 🌞

By the way if you haven't seen it yet the Gazette has been redesigned and it's a brilliant job. Have a look for yourself. Very handsome and very readable.

Good morning, Ottawa.

If tis isn't @gailsimone.bsky.social bait, then what is?

I'm not sure if we still hold the title, but we've got a pretty big ball of twine up here in Minnesota.

Obvious @gailsimone.bsky.social bait.

It’s Monday and your coworker says, “Did you hear about that Air Canada crash?” Do you respond with: A) yes, how awful! B) yes, it was the first fatal accident in a long time! C) yes, they hadn’t had a fatality since 1983, which was the fire that killed Stan Rogers Anyway, I said the weird one.

Let's not get @jacktodd.bsky.social too excited, but Caufield is on a pace to score 50... He'd be the first since Stephane Richer in 89/90...

One of Lowell Green’s moves was to tell his listeners to bombard certain targets with phone calls. Mostly city councillors, sometimes other levels of government, occasionally others. Once in a while it was the Citizen—he’d urge people to call and demand why X or Y story wasn’t on the front page.

Here's @scalzi.com calling out @gailsimone.bsky.social . No possible way for this to end badly.

First time to see a show at the Gladstone last night; what a great theatre and production! Really enjoyed it, had a fabulous time. #OttCity

Always fun when your bus and backup both leave early, so you wait for the next one which is cancelled so now you can just wait for the next and question the life choices that leave you for a half hour at an @octranspo.com stop. @occtranspo.bsky.social

I set up a recurring donation to Pro Publica for the same amount.

Not wanting to jinx anything, but the Habs haven't had a 50 goal scorer since Stéphane Richer (36 years ago). But there's someone who may be on the cusp this season... @jacktodd.bsky.social

Well, it’s in the paper, so I guess I’m actually running! Really enjoyed speaking with Charlie Senack at the Kitchissippi Times #ottnews

MEMO: OC Transpo has identified a new issue on O-Train Line 1 involving cartridge bearing assemblies (CBAs), where “spalling” (metal flaking inside bearings) has been detected on some trains. As a result, trains with over 100,000 km on these parts are being pulled from service for replacement. (1/3)

I’m in Davos, Switzerland, to secure new trade and investment partners for Canada. Because Canada has what the world wants — we’re an energy superpower and a reliable trading partner, with the most educated workforce in the world.

My 1609 bus. No show. Not cancelled, just disappeared. Was on the app until it wasn't. This is why people drive instead of trusting @octranspo.com , right, @occtranspo.bsky.social ?
