Tell Doug to visit the Hematology depts at the Ottawa Hospital to find out about STEM. I'm day +9 of my stem cell transplant.

Doug Ford thinks teaching English, French, history, social studies, civics and phys-ed is a “ radical left-wing wacko” idea. It's no wonder our education system is underfunded. #onpoli #onted

Come work with me! My department is hiring a Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Environment and Security! Posting here (and let me know if you have any questions about applying): uottawa.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/uOttaw...

Not that anyone would ever have accused FIFA of integrity & a commitment to human rights. But this desperate flattery of a man who promotes racism, embodies sexism, despises refugees, lifts up hate & eviscerates international law? A new low.

When the waters recede you realize nobody actually knows how to do the work any more; more importantly, nobody values any work by anybody. Which is the bigger point: AI isn't a tool to do work, it's a tool to make workers irrelevant, a trojan horse promising work when it's all about destroying it.

No comparison..he is much sleepier, less coherent than "Sleepy Joe". Time for a home Trump.

"legally shaky" is working really hard here.

This beggars belief, imagination. What at farce. #Fascism #Propaganda #FIFA

Post-menopausal bleeding is cancer until proven otherwise. It is also one the four most common cancers in women. Listen to White Coat Black Art on Sat Dec 6 at 1:30pm ET to hear me speak with @nightshiftmd about uterine cancer and wait times for gyne surgery in Canada. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

25.7% of Ottawa households experienced food insecurity in 2024. Food banks are amazing, but should not be seen as a permanent solution. glengower.ca/notebook/not...

So the Vampire of Sankt-Peterburg is ramping up again, huh?

Trump is experiencing "be sure that your sin will find you out" and I couldn't be happier for him.

This scathing Globe & Mail article on Lansdowne 2.0 touches on every concern that I and 9 of my Council colleagues raised about the massive risk now faced by taxpayers. The entire country is now aware of our folly. Remember this for the 2026 elections. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

"But to call the crime femicide — a sex- or gender-specific term — is in fact a radical rethink in a climate of neutrality that too often masks the disproportionate burden women and girls bear for some forms of male violence."

Mark your calendars. If you own a well and are impacted by the current low-water conditions this upcoming virtual info session is for you. Join local conservation authorities and some #OttCity departments via Zoom on Monday, Dec 8 to get updates on the current situation. https://bit.ly/4pNPyuU

The external costs of motor vehicles that are not paid by users (including subsidized parking, but also roads, collision risk, and pollution) make up 32% of the costs of driving. 😱 From @toddlitman.bsky.social

The fact that we even need food banks if proof that society has failed. The fact that almost 26% of our residents need them is beyond a crisis. If this isn't an argument for UBI, then I don't know what is. The system is failing.

So does this mean our police force can’t deal with this? Who will these private security officers be accountable to? Who’s advising the Mayor?

It's true then. It's true now. People in the position of economic power, burn political democracy or make it so convoluted, so they can continue to exploit and retain their privilege in the system. And it's hard, when you have no wealth, to fight back - so the process continues.

Wouldn’t a million bucks invested into housing supports actually help with the underlying issue, or does Sutcliffe only have money to when it’s being pumped into private business’ pockets?

Why not invest in helping not to need them? If (when) I get knocked off my bike having a paramedic get to me in good time doesn't make me 'safer'. Are you familiar with the bow tie concept for risk management? Look it up - you spend a lot of time considering the right hand side!

It’s not the security that needs to be addressed first - that’s just a band-aid. It’s providing more meaningful supports to the people who are homeless and struggling with mental health issues or addiction (or both) that we should be prioritizing.

Methane is harming our health today and the planet that future generations will inherit tomorrow. Canadians want to see this addressed, when will our government step up?

Yes, it’s been paved and has street lights with graffiti. There’s a pedestrian path to the bridge now, with a gate. The old train tracks are still there too, in case Gatineau ever allows a train station on their side of the river. There’s sometimes a homeless camp in that area too.
