@ClimateNate @centretownbuzz It's not just Ontario that isn't interested in improving Ottawa transit. City council isn't helping either, just encouraging cuts. Even before the 2008 strike politicians were uninterested in OC. It was badly run too, but I see improvement with our new manager.
An interesting twist in the story is Public Health's unawareness of the MMR vaccine shortage, leaving concerned travelers to discover the shortfall on their own. What does this say about our state of readiness for emergent public health challenges?

Saying 'no' to funding transit because ridership needs to grow first has everything backwards. Ridership will never grow as a result of cuts and under-funding of the system. It reinforces a downward spiral.

@Biff_da_Bear @CarlingtonHill Absolutely. Cities evolve, and so should the architecture of a community; there’s a strong argument for preservation of existing buildings due to embody carbon, but there’s also a balance to find with what’s preserved and if doing, so makes sense. 1/
@Toon_Dreessen @CarlingtonHill @centretownbuzz Totally - the bible church “preservation”ended up creating dead space and completely unsuitable for a retail space. Another bad example on Bank St. Is the Bank building stuck onto the corner of Massine’s grocery store. They could have built around it and made it an indoor cafe.
@Biff_da_Bear @CarlingtonHill Yep, and that kind of thing can be good, but can also border on Foss autism where all that saved is the first 8 inches of brick. The worst example of that was the metropolitan Bible church on bank; check out current addition of @centretownbuzz as well centretownbuzz.ca/wp-content/upl…
Okay wow. Scott St between Holland and Hinchey is now completely inaccessible to people on bikes. The south side bike lane isn't finished, the north side is torn to shreds, so you either ride with psycho drivers, or ride on the S side sidewalk. -15/10 thx I hate it. @ottawacity
@JulieSLalonde Perhaps it’s time to recognize that, especially (but not only) from a customer service standpoint, self-checkouts have been an unmitigated disaster.
@JulieSLalonde Getting extremely frustrated at the Loblaws closest to me. I arrive by streetcar and have to walk to the furthest side of the building to enter, no longer have baskets (which help me know how much I have to carry home) and self-checkout is malfunctioning constantly. Car-centric.
Mayor @_MarkSutcliffe on one of your early runs through Ottawa, count the folks sleeping on sidewalks or in bus shelters. My count this morning was 9 along Rte 11 between TP and Parliament. These rough sleepers aren't hidden homeless. #OttPoliFailure

For safety, continuity, and clarity, all cycling infrastructure in the Netherlands features a top coat of red-tinted asphalt. Not only is it far more durable than paint, it acts as a visual cue that—no matter where you are in the country—red means bikes. fastcompany.com/91015482/why-t…
A Walmart and its parking lot can easily cover 44 acres of potentially productive space. Downtown Sylva, NC hosts businesses with a value per acre worth over 10 times as much as an average Walmart in the area.
@SjamieIt Yes, exactly. The Court ruled expressly that this protest was NOT a peaceful assembly protected by the Charter.
@PaulChampLaw And is this not ruling that it was NOT a peaceful protest, that protesters had no right to blockade downtown Ottawa with massive trucks or block local residents' ability to carry out the functions of their daily lives?
The Emergencies Act was unnecessary and the chaotic and unlawful Convoy protests in Ottawa could have been ended using other laws. I said that in Feb 2022 and it remains my view. But to be clear, this judgment is not the vindication that Convoy supporters believe it is.

We no longer require April Fools Day. Every day on the internet is a confusing ordeal of bollocks and mistruths and life is now one giant shitpost so let's just calm down and go have a nap or something.
Glad to see my colleague @DavidHillWard3 is trying to push new ideas for pollinators. I’d be happy to work with him on my proposal to plant pollinators/wildflowers/micro-clover along medians, instead of costly and climate unfriendly turf grass. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
And in case you hadn’t heard, the Coles book store in Billings Bridge, including the old school yellow sign, closed for good over the weekend. They’ve been here since the 90s. You can visit them at the Indigo at South Keys or Gloucester locations. 😐
Rfp update: scored 89/90 on technical score. Ranked 8/24 overall. Why? Fees. We lost out to 5 large multinational/multi-office firms who can, I guess, afford to throw 50% lower fees into the pot, screwing over medium sized practices trying to keep the lights on. I hate it here.
@modacitylife The irony being that some asphalt suppliers can supply the red binding agent as a carbon / pollution absorbing material, and that this isn’t used more widely in other countries. It’s more expensive but given the need for visual indication of bike lanes to make this work, it’s…
@AureliaCotta @MarkBourrie @ICGardner @BjhBrian @OTTAWAPAca Yup. And no way was Ford going to rescue him. Ford had a few angles to play. And he played them. He blew out of town & went snowmobiling.
@MarkBourrie @ICGardner @BjhBrian @OTTAWAPAca Look up every Ottawa citizen story on Sloly and how he was treated by the OPS prior to the convoy—when someone told me, I didn’t believe it at first, but the level of racism and abuse and pure refusal to follow commands as the Chief was gross. The convoy was the last straw
@tylermeredith The declaration (ratified by by Parliament) lasts 9 days, peacefully ending a spate of lawlessness throughout the country. The PM then testifies before a federal commission and the govt's actions are judicially reviewed. Only in Canada is a federal govt so effectively kneecapped
@tylermeredith I am consistently amazed by the gall of people who did not live in downtown Ottawa during the occupation thinking they have a legitimate opinion on the matter
This is a big security issue. I hope folks are on it and taking it seriously. And Danielle Smith needs to be called out.
Appalling. Danielle Smith encouraging American right-wing rage farmer with a massive base to attack a Canadian politician. UnCanadian and dangerous.
I mean...the Province kinda has to say that, no? Otherwise, its a full admission that both Rouleau and Mosely were correct that Ontario allowed a legal protest to spiral out of control by failing to use the ordinary laws on the books #freedomconvoy #EmergenciesAct
Ontario's support for Ottawa triggering the Emergencies Act to end the convoy blockade remains unwavering despite a federal court ruling it was unconstitutional, says the deputy premier. trib.al/G89oLwb

The Airport's line that the 10 acres of Hunt Club Woods have to come down for safety reasons is a prime example of their neglect of these public lands. They ignored a Council motion to discuss this matter. Their own Board members confirmed this wasn't even raised with them.
@ArielTroster @JLeiper @KichiSibiWT Pro-cycling councillors should have asked from the start. For $30 million no one asked? How about councillor of the ward?
