Listening to former PM #JeanChrétien on #CBC The House and thoroughly enjoying this segment (so far). Many “Come on!” Or “All that jazz!” and humbled-minded “I did my best!” #cdnpoli needs more of his wonderful thoughtful service-focused political mind with respectful use of “Madame” to disagree

Copper wire theft is a #BusinessContinuity concern amongst #CriticalInfrastructure owner / operators. Harden your operations, ensure proactive security, be #prepared to respond to avoid escalation into your #CrisisManagement system.

Another #european country issued updated personal #preparedness planning guide: www.bbk.bund.de/DE/Home/home... Now includes war as one of the threats. Interesting how #germany links civil protection to civil defense to overall defense. Being prepared is reasonable for many plausible situations!

Well then…i have done nothing to improve the sell-ability of my vehicle, and now the offer goes up: “Good news - the market value of your car went up to $5,215. See offer: clt.ch/******-*****. Let me know if you have any questions! ****** from Clutch” Ummm…no thanks: asking price remains $11500K

Pro tip (well, not a pro): if you feel sick, are sick, or feel like you are starting to get sick (you know that feeling in your own body!), then stay away from the workplace! Been noticing a lot of slippage in the workplace. Lessons-learned? Me thinks not!! 🤬 This is a #BusinessContinuity concern.

Cyber people realize paper plans are needed in case of cyber attacks. #BusinessContinuity / #CrisisManagement pros say ”hold my 🍺 “ www.bbc.com/news/article... What is old (in continuity response) is new again!

It would be quite a move forward if #ontario Parks permitted all of the roofed accommodations (and specifically the permanent cabins like at Brent and Kiosk) to accept dogs. Charge significant cleaning fee and high damage penalties to prevent damage / abuse. Supports increased inclusivity! #camping

Quite concerning listen to this morning’s #ottawa #CBC #OttawaMorning interview on self-driving car in #kanata : Entire convo about safety was for vehicle occupants versus safety of other road users and that includes pedestrians! This is the tech that needs to be regulated!

The only reason that there is any sense of a ceasefire (it is not a peace plan!!!) is that his son-in-law’s billion dollar “gifts” into his real estate schemes were at risk of being pulled away due to the provocation of having his benefactors’ country being bombed. #FollowTheMoney / #GoldenRule

Hey #ottawa : it's (finally) raining! Hearing lots of stories of rural homeowners with dried-up / low well water levels needing to get fracked or having pipe being extended. Here's hoping that we get more long steady rainfalls between now and when ground freezes up ...otherwise, we might be f#$%@d

Why I have had it with smokers (tobacco and weed). How is it that smokers think that they can just light up wherever the hell they want to, and that at the expense of non-smokers? Case: 10 or so people enjoying peaceful, fresh air of provincial park at boat launch, and 1 person lights up!

King T is so petty that he is likely threatened simply by @gavinnewsom.bsky.social and the Governor’s coiffe (as seen in this #CBC article - www.cbc.ca/news/world/c... ) Seems every day, we here in #canada , keep reading about yet-another loss in your Courts system for your Buffoon-in-Charge!

Hey #ottawa Anyone looking, or knows someone that is looking, for a used minivan ( Honda Odyssey; 8 passenger) for a decent as-is price? Check out my #AutoTrader listing as a private sale : www.autotrader.ca/go/19-132030... Yes…new stage in our lives!

just read @jojofromjerz.bsky.social "Temu Patton and Deck-Stain Quasimodo Do Quantico" : chilling and sickening! but also effing stupid from a let's-stack-all-of-leadership-into-1-room-step-away-from-massive-succession-planning-catastrophe ! Eesh!

Too good to not share to #BusinessContinuity / #CrisisManagement pros in #canada for #Cyber Month. Of particular interest: www.cira.ca/en/canadian-... eh! 🍁

"We are a stone’s throw or a plane ride away from whatever infectious disease emerges next" Is your workforce ready to accept vaccine mandates in the future? If not, then what? Is #pandemic #risk still shown in your risk universe? #CrisisManagement exercise scenario: 💡 nautil.us/our-dark-unv...

It’s official: Apple sucks! Caught in a loop to change pswd Also it questions my pswd scheme that adheres to good cyber/pswd hygiene Yep…Apple sucks!

Auto correction on this mobile device really sucks! Such a productivity time suck ! Thank you Mobile Device Overlords! Our future is blight 😜

Hey listen up: I have a mass notification / #CrisisManagement #exercise coming up and I do not want any conflict with this Rapture BS. Ok? #preparedness

Are your #CrisisComms plans ready to adapt to a fool being able to spout total BS on a global scale? How ready was parent company of #Tylenol to handle total mis/dis-information scenarios? King T is more about ‘rage farming’ than anything else. Empathize with #CrisisManagement pros there ✊🏻

Does CBC, CBC News or CBC Ottawa have any organizational presence on this website/bluesky ? They seem to still support some other social hellsite whose letter lies between ‘w’ and ‘y’ which is apropos to ask why! 🤔 For CBC radio in #ottawa only feedback given on email, text (6132886900) and ph

heads-up #ottawa - www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic... read the article: good measures are in place for this protest; they are not looking to clog up the entirety of the city!

www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art... Wonder if #ottawa / @en.ottawa.ca would do this? Or is this a power that comes from #ontario traffic act?

Would be interesting to see if this attitude toward ”saving” money would apply in #canada by avoiding to turn up the heat

“… high levels of food self-sufficiency, strong institutions and a culture of cooperation, may not work elsewhere. … our experience offers valuable lessons. Preparedness must be proactive, inclusive and deeply integrated into national strategy.” Go #Finland www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Learning how to use a chainsaw - www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... Seems like something a civil defence force would learn as a valuable skill. (not certain if they are on here but a key message that Eva Cohen from www.civilprotection.ca/eva-cohen has advocated for years!) #preparedness

#CrisisManagement pros across #ontario take note : Declared Emergency Leave - stlawyers.ca/blog-news/de... How to protect your employees and your employer’s #BusinessContinuity

Paid for on-street parking in #westboro in #ottawa . This is good! Though delivery-app drivers do not! @en.ottawa.ca to consider for this high-use area: Why is on-street parking rate of 0.25$/5 minutes the same as the parking garage? Street parking should be viewed as “premium” and cost more!

Guessing “Scent Free Workplace Policy” has become a forgotten thing. Visited a peer’s workplace in #ottawa and holy crap the mixture of everyone’s choice fragrance/ perfume/ cologne / … was quite overwhelming! 🤢 And I am not scent-sensitive so I could just imagine how it is for those who are??!!

Live à Lost River: ce festival unique me semble fantastique! liveatlostriver.com

Read this! Like, read this now. Or read it again while bearing witness to today's #history such as in #Ukraine and US!

TIL about French Simpsons! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... but will it continue???

“We are using money for the wrong stuff” True then; true now! True there; true in other countries, including here in #canada . Carl Sagan used the words of those that wanted to divide, like “dole”, against them! Brilliant!

A tunnel in #Kanata for 28.5M$, really? And 2 years to build??!! With bike lanes too (not sure what they’ll connect to though)? Lets see how #ottawa pulls this off www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

“Stand up against street harassment!” Lead by @julieslalonde.bsky.social : - learn how to intervene when you see harassment - talk about what harassment looks like - how bystander intervention can help: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct #BusinessContinuity pros: promote to workplace✊🏻

what energizes and focuses these 2 individuals? which of these 2 individuals would you like to have recognized for their energy and focus? hmmm....🤔

www.cbc.ca/news/politic... Beyond humiliating to peoples of Gaza, this airdrop is simply reflective of lazy diplomatic effort by #canada to do something from humanitarian view. Uncontrolled airdrop inside region on brink of famine is attempt to make us feel good that we at least did something.

anyone in #ottawa know why this location is blurred in Google Maps - maps.app.goo.gl/abzLyithqzEn... tried it on desktop and mobile and I get this black-out mark. ???

TIL 'Accident Benefits' in #ontario for cyclists injured in crash with another vehicle. Important information in link to be aware of benefits to fast-track the start of your recovery. Thanks @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social #BikeSky

#ottawa drivers seem to have innate ignorance to stop-lines at intersections! Rolling past the stop-line puts the vehicle in the path of others using the intersection reducing safety for all, specifically pedestrians and cyclists. Also other vehicles that are turning need that space to do so safely!

"All things Line 1 East" ... including a new airport in the East End??? I hope that they build it better than they built that image to move people in #ottawa #otttraffic 🙄

Without lightning we would not have thunder. Other than the clapping sound of thunder, what are the possible damage due to thunder? When lightning strikes / occurs, damage is possible. Time for name change from ‘thunderstorms’ to ‘lightning-storms’. Who’s with me?

Observed in downtown #ottawa yesterday: Dude getting all worked up for late-to-arrive ride-hail…all the while 3 licensed taxis are sitting at curb waiting to take next fare…right next to dude frantically yelling at mobile! Pretty certain that those licensed taxis would have gone to his destination!

I’m guessing that mains power are not being restored as per time offered by Hydro One ! Ride it out safely everyone around #ottawa

Is ‘Happy Gilmore’ really # 4 in Top Movies in #canada on #Netflix ? Or is the algorithm playing games with my mInd? I call BS!

Hey #ottawa : intersections are safer when drivers respect the stop line, and you leave space between vehicles. When pedestrians are forced into intersection, or to wiggle between nose-to-tail vehicles due to not respecting the stop line, pedestrians risk increases. Do better #autowa !!!

Hey #ottawa : register to get emergency alerts from @en.ottawa.ca #preparedness

Hey #canada : if UK can do it, so should / must we! While we're at it: eliminate #FirstPastThePost outdated system. Just do it! They take Civic classes in high school; now let them exercise that responsibility...before they forget about it and have system begin to disenfranchise them! 🤔 #cdnpoli
