Imagine #OttCity as a better #PlaceForPeople: take away the NCC bike paths and MUPs and what do we have? Some painted lines (most not winter maintained) and a couple of kms of barely protected bike lines DT. Sure, lots of recreational paths in suburbs but how does that help get ppl to work/school?

Canada would have been better off saying nothing. You can detest the regime in Iran without supporting chaos. www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

Channel 12 reported that Trump and Netanyahu settled on this course of action during the Israeli PM's visit to Washington on February 11. That suggests weeks of negotiations have all been for show. www.mako.co.il/news-militar...

The funny thing about war is that it develops its own momentum and can veer off into unintended consequences very easily.

The dangerous thing is that Trump doesn’t realize this - and doesn't plan for it.

CNN is saying the Iranian attack happened after Trump β€œlost patience with negotiations”.

I don’t believe it. The negotiations were cover. This was always the plan. The scale of the military buildup showed that.

Suggestions?

As with ISIS in Iraq the consequences of regime change with no plan after the fall take on a purpose all their own.

There is no time to waste.

Canada is the first non-European country to be granted membership in SAFE. This is unlocking new export markets abroad for producers across Canada’s defence industry and better equipping our military with the resources they need.

Earlier today, the same councillor tried to stop me from finishing my sentence at a council meeting. On the same day he wore a pink shirt to supposedly combat bullying.

This is conduct unbecoming of the chair of a city committee.
