Not maintaining an asset properly and deciding they need to tear it down rather than fix it up... Northside grandstand much?

Imagine if #OttCity invested in e-bike rebate (say, $1000 per bike, x 1000/year); that’s a rounding error in the city budget but would lift 1000 ppl per year with better transit options; make income based; create secondary stream for youth; add cargo bikes; expand w/better bike infra and bike share

There was a great piece on Last Week Tonight a few years ago (obviously about the US but very applicable to Canada) explaining what a good Return-On-Investment taxes are!

Zero issues with it. No Matheson = no league.

But, you should though.

You're right, Wellington is a very important route, and cars hinder literally every other form of transportation from using it. We can be better than this.

In a speech before the United Nations General Assembly today, President Trump said climate change is a “con job” and climate scientists are “stupid people” — and he called green energy and immigration a “double-tailed monster” that is destroying Europe.

“I question the sanity of anyone who does not believe this is a five-alarm fire. They created a lot of false pretense with Stephen about money,” he says. “They didn’t bother with the pretense this time.”

Ensuring people can move about their communities and their cities without use of cars needs to be the cornerstone of any movement on housing going forward

This. #OttCity continues to make transit more expensive and harder to use driving more people away from it. Time to end the doom loop

On the evening of August 30, 2025 after taking a wrong turn somewhere near Albuquerque, Mayor Giuliani was involved in a motor vehicle accident.  He was flagged down by a giant male rabbit dressed up as an attractive female rabbit who identified themself as having witnessed a “moyder”. Mr. Giuliani remained on scene until a duck and a pig dressed as Old English bobbys arrived.Following this incident, while traveling on the highway, Mayor Giuliani drove into what he thought was a tunnel, but which turned out to be a painting on the side of a mountain.  Mayor Giuliani’s vehicle was crushed into the shape of accordion bellows, which emitted musical notes as they expanded and contracted . A flattened Mr. Guilini waddled free from beneath the wreckage, his enlarged teeth emerging from his mouth in the shape of piano keys.HIs business partner was promptly contacted, and he was admitted to Acme Looniversity Hospital, curiously under the care of the same rabbit he encountered earlier.That’s all, folks.F.

It would be really great if we made decisions based on actual evidence, and not just the feelings of certain premiers and mayors...

At some point, leaders need to lead by looking forward. The world isn't the same as it used to be. Instead of trying to put the genie back in the bottle, we can leverage opportunities that come with a decentralized city: stronger local economies, improved quality of life, cleaner air, safer streets.

The Pride Parade in Ottawa marches past Ottawa. A person holds a Palestinian flag in front of a banner in alternating black/pink background and text. The first message says "no Pride in genocide", then next, Stonewall was an Intifada" then "all of us or none of us".

I got home to a post by Capital Prode saying the Pride Parade was cancelled. It wasn't, the community was speaking with a different voice than the organizers.

@mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social didn't like the Palestinian solidarity messaging so he pulled an authoritarian move. Suck it Sutcliffe.
