Much of the wiring for the lights on the Chief William Commanda Bridge has been removed by vandals. I hope this will be the impetus for the @en.ottawa.ca to work with the @gatineau.ca to ensure this is a year-round #activetransportation connection between the two cities- more🚲🚶‍♀️ traffic means more 👀

Stephen Harper says the US is a "hostile" regime and Canada must urgently reduce its economic ties and hit back with counter tariffs. He says business leaders are fooling themselves if they think things will go back to normal. When I find myself in the same trench as Stephen Harper it's serious.

For sure, the sad state of our public transit system, partially due to inadequate funding, must be a major election issue for #Ottawa. But I hope candidates won't forget about our🚶‍♀️🧑‍🦽🚲 system - the BACKBONE and feeder for the public system. It needs to be SAFE and accessible year-round. #visionzero

Such great news - keeping LeBreton Flats focused on being a pedestrian-focused development!🚶‍♀️🧑‍🦽🚲 This is one of the three new projects in the middle of Ottawa that have this focus. The two others include Gladstone Village and Confederation Heights. #Ottawa

We often hear from people about the lack of bike racks at their destination or people wanting advice before emailing their councillor to ask for racks to be installed. Here’s our take on it. 👇 bikeottawa.ca/2026/01/26/b...

Why buy defense capability from a country that threatens Canada and have to rely on them for any upgrades or repairs? Instead, we could buy the Gripens from a friendly EU country and build an avionics industry that would support Canadians for decades to come! 🍁👍 #CanadianSovereignty #canpoli

I mean, it's cold in #Ottawa, but then there's cold. 🥶 Stay warm out there #Winterpeg! 🌴

As someone who used to travel to the US for work, I was thinking just this: now is the time to cancel Nexus and get US Customs and Border Protection officers off of sovereign Canadian soil. There just isn't the need to make it easier for Canadians to travel to this country. #canpoli

Hi @helps.octranspo.com The time boards still don't seem to be displaying at Mooney's Bay.

We have already broken up with you. Please stop calling. - Canada

We are ok with this ☺️🍁

Also, drivers ignore the "right turn on red." So that advanced pedestrian signal is not doing what it should.

Conditions are excellent today! (And it's warm!)⛸️ #ottskate

The intersection at Prince of Wales - Preston - QED needs to be a pedestrian scramble. 🚶‍♀️🚲🧑‍🦽🚦 Even with the new intersection/Trillium pathway configuration, drivers turning right still presume they have the right of way.
