There are two speed cameras on Walkley Rd between Bank and St Laurent that were installed in 2024. In 2022 that stretch of Walkley had 34 collisions with injuries. In 2024, after the cameras were turned on, there were just 4 collisions with injuries. Speed cameras work.

Some dink in a pickup just spun his tires by the former speed camera on Jeanne d'arc in front of Terry Fox elementary.

Substandard picture quality for Leafs games this year too, so far. I can actually see them play.

When asked about skipping COP30 and the implications of upsetting and disrespecting a Brazilian people, Trump remarked "Wow. How many is a brazilian?"

From-scratched a vegan "turkey-dinner styled" roulade this evening. Mash. Broc. Beets. Gravy.

Turned out awesome.

I think long and hard about the layers of management and bureaucracy he left to insulate users of the system from everything from communications to being a part of the planning process.

I miss the mom-and-pop feel of what I joined in 2000. Its all SOPs, cityspeak, and teams meetings now.

Tremendous to hear some veteran Ottawa city councillors argue that Lansdowne 2.0 is needed because the previous overhaul that they voted for is crap.

Had to do the same recently. Realized how much better it was to tuck it into my passport than to carry my phone and open my screen 90 times for the gambit at CDG. I may just keep printing them.

When the City of Ottawa asked for help from Federal Ottawa re transit, I don't think reducing demand through slashing public service jobs was what they meant.

One of the highlights of my visit to South Africa was a bike tour of Soweto (www.sowetobackpackers.com ), an area on the southwest side of Johannesburg.

This article is a great read.

Part of my certification as a rail traffic controller involves rotating to overnight shifts a few times a year. That's my week this week. From the hustle of running the afternoon rush to managing maintenance activities and track permits. By Thursday I'll be a zombie.

I have never enjoyed an MLB team more than this year’s Toronto Blue Jays team. At a time where domestic and world news hammers you down daily, they have provided me and my family with endless optimism and spirit. It doesn’t matter in the big picture but then again, it’s also everything.

NEW- We’ve discovered 7 concerning issues with the new information on Lansdowne 2.0 released by the city just one week ago-

1) $17.4 million per year (not $4.3 million) is being carved out of Ottawa’s Budget until 2070 to pay for Lansdowne 2.0 debt ($696 million in payments).

Dodgers are supposed to steamroll the Jays.

Let us have the little victories! πŸ˜€

Go Jays!

Looks like the province is walking back the most egregious change that they were proposing on tenant protection.

Eroding tenant protection is unconscionable, especially in this economic environment: low vacancy, high rents, looming recession. Housing is a human right.

Over the last few years, I've backed away (mostly) from eating meat. There are various reasons, but a big one is that I love animals and think the way they're mass farmed and executed (processed) is abhorrent.

This discussion on the truckers subreddit tonight was something...

Its amazing the disconnect between animal parts in packages and the process of how they got there. Vegan now. I used to truck cow hydes from one of these hell holes in Idaho. The people working there are damaged. The smell is awful. The vibe is horror.

Trump, angry that Ontario aired Reagan's speech during the World Series after his first tantrum, will now punish (checks notes) *the American people* with higher costs.
