Picture collage of kids on bikes

We’re fighting for our children. They deserve a safe cycling environment to:

Get around on their own steam
Go to school, the library
Go for a fun ride with friends

Earlier this year, I met a Croatian journalist who was in the US doing a piece on America’s politics and I asked her what surprised her. And she said, “What you all call the far left is just being normal.”

As women's hockey climbs to new heights, the City of Ottawa says think smaller | Opinion PWHL executives Jayna Hefford and Amy Scheer write that it's not too late to change the story on Lansdowne 2.0.

Lansdowne 2.0 doesn’t give Ottawa what it needs. The plan is built around the limits of a public-private deal that leaves the city with hundreds of millions in new debt for a project that won’t serve residents well.

“For years, facilities were designed around men’s schedules and men’s teams. Women were told to make do. And now, just as women’s hockey has earned the right to think bigger, the city is planning to think smaller.”

Lansdowne 2.0 is a bad deal for Ottawa on so many fronts.

Rent is high. Groceries are impossible. But instead of taxing billionaires, the govt is pushing Bill C-12 to deport workers.

Syed Hussan explains how migrant blaming is a strategy to distract us.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

An X-ray style image of the skull of Donald Trump, the current President of the United States, depicted in profile view facing left against a black background. The transparent cyan-toned cranium reveals a small, rounded brain-like mass centered inside the head, connected by a thin stem-like structure extending downward toward the spine. Long, flowing blonde hair frames the sides and top of the head, with subtle wispy details. The jawline and teeth are visible in glowing white outlines, emphasizing the skeletal structure, while the overall composition focuses on the eerie, ethereal transparency of the anatomy.

A massive ego is often the hallmark of a tiny mind.

BREAKING! Lifelong grifter and conman who just held a $1,750/plate fundraiser donates $14 worth of groceries to food bank; makes sure his private photographer is there to record his unbridled altruism.

Israel’s Irregular Warfare Paradox: Reconciling Precision Abroad and a “Killing Field” Next Door Israel’s irregular warfare paradox shows how surgical operations in Iran and mass violence in Gaza are reshaping its global image and fueling regional instability.

The War on Terror taught us that tackling violent actors with purely kinetic action does not work. It has never worked during the Arab-Israeli conflict. On the second anniversary of the #October7thMassacre, Israel ignores those lessons at its own peril. irregularwarfare.org/articles/isr...

All valid points, and that’s without mentioning the Ottawa Charge once.

Comment Donald Trump a mis la main sur TikTok aux États-Unis

Auparavant en croisade contre l’application, il est aujourd’hui en passe de s’entendre avec Pékin pour contourner la loi américaine.

Trump Administration Supports Attorney General Ken Paxton’s Lawsuit Against BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard for Illegally Manipulating Energy Markets The Trump Administration’s Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) have taken legal action supporting Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit against BlackRock, State Street, ...

Trump’s Tylenol-autism claim isn’t science, it’s market-moving corruption: attacking a company widely held by funds he’s already vilifying. By using public health fear to damage Kenvue, he blurs policy with personal vendetta, raising the specter of corruption & abuse of presidential power.

Justin Ling: Mark Carney needs to stop placating the mad king and actually fight Trump Expecting a reasonable deal from the U.S. president is a mistake.

As we enter the fall, there's no use pretending that things are normal any longer. The rest of the world needs to stop placating Trump and start challenging his rogue government. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

We need to get the language right. #Israel's “deadly strike" on Al Nasser Hospital in #Gaza which killed 20 people including journalists from Reuters, AP, NBC, Al Jazeera & rescue workers is an act of terror-A Terrorist Attack. Attacking hospitals & killing civilians is a war crime.

I pulled over and stepped out into the road to take a few pictures. There is no disguising how ugly this parking garage is or will be.

Dreessen: Ottawa has to shed its image as a town that doesn't like fun We have too many rules, too many controls, too much consultation and too complex a process. We’ve engineered the spontaneity out of our city.

Successful cities let stuff happen; less paperwork and more independence to just let things be. bit.ly/3bqTq4c

An American corporate conglomerate plans to get paid billions of Canadian tax dollars to dump a million tonnes of radioactive waste in an earthen mound beside the Ottawa River, and bury the radioactive remains of two reactors beside the Ottawa and Winnipeg Rivers.
WTF?

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen.

2 children struck by vehicles in separate incidents Wednesday: Ottawa police Ottawa police say two children were struck by cars while riding two-wheeled vehicles in separate incidents on Wednesday.

A woman died last week after being hit by a truck near City Hall, now two children were hit - when is this going to stop?

We need Vision Zero now not Vision "20% less cycling deaths."

Shame on our Mayor and council who allow this to keep happening.

Hersh: Free Transit isn’t just possible, it’s popular Mayor Mark Sutcliffe boasted that Canada Day had record-breaking ridership on the LRT Line 1. He forgot to mention OC Transpo was free.

Transit is an equity issue. ottawacitizen.com/opinion/sam-...

Some Barrhaven commutes are now so long OC Transpo charges passengers twice | CBC News Riders sometimes board their final connection after 90-minute transfer expires, a reality their city councillor is calling "unacceptable."

It’s like the Onion wrote that article.

“…He said he's confident that as OC Transpo staff review the problem, common sense will prevail….”

Today, I watched the driver of a pickup swerve into the bike lane to pass another driver in an intersection, then honk at the other driver for slowing to turn left, then cut someone off to reel back into the driving lane. Tomorrow, going to a memorial & rally for someone killed by a pickup driver.

Demetrios Nicolaides, Alberta's Minister of Education and Childcare, will require all school boards to create or update policies to restrict books the province deems sexually explicit.

Alberta bans ‘sexually explicit’ books from school libraries, restricts materials about puberty, menstruation https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta/article-alberta-goes-through-with-banning-sexually-explicit-books-under-new/

If you simply teach it "If you see something, saw something" with no other analysis, then privileged people don't differentiate between feeling uncomfortable and feeling unsafe and call the cops on people for merely existing in public.

Thank you so much for what you do, I’ve taken your workshop and learned so much. But, wow! I’m sorry that you have to deal with that level of “insert your adjective of choice here”, it must be exhausting.

Exciting! This cone has been here for 3 months, with an ever expanding sinkhole. 1/
