Warm Up The Guillotine

Conservatives don’t govern based on data, they govern based on ideology.

CTV Ottawa went to the trouble of filing a freedom of information request with OPS for this article, so perhaps CTV Ottawa licks less boots than you might think.

“Lock them up” is a decidedly Trump thing to say. Who do the convoyers fly flags for again? 🤔

Also: do you honestly think these workers would have been allowed to strike if PP had won the election? 🤔

"CUPE requested Tremblay recuse herself from chairing the proceedings. Despite CUPE's request, Tremblay will hear the case."

Weird assumption to make based on zero data but fill your boots, I guess.

Also - regardless of who they voted for… you have no sympathy for people who work a ton of hours with no remuneration? Weird.

OPSB (4 members are City councillors) governs OPS and is responsible in part for setting priorities around enforcement and the City’s expectations of police. If OPSB decided that HTA enforcement needed to be higher on the priority list, it would be.

Do we have any evidence that the high number of collisions we’ve seen this summer are due to cyclists (or scooter users, or pedestrians) ignoring stop signs and red lights?

Ontario is long overdue to make the Idaho Stop part of the HTA.

Is he asking you to attend?

I'll take obnoxious ringing over being passed in silence any day… especially on narrow paths.

The way that w'bound lane just ends halfway down the hill on Albert is an issue, even if it's only (and I used this word loosely) temporary. There's not even a detour for people to get to the gravel lane that gets you to the Pimisi MUP.

Dinging their bells is fine. It lets us walkers/runners know they're coming.

""Canadians have already sacrificed a lot in this uncertain economy…"

Apparently Hajdu thinks Air Canada staff aren't also Canadians who have sacrificed a lot… and that sacrifice includes countless hours of unpaid labour that Air Canada benefits directly from.

Should we start counting how many trees Sutcliffe has had planted so far?

That list of sponsors is deeply problematic.

My guess would have been "about to star in a reboot of The Odd Couple with Roy".

I'm stoked for your account of the ferry ride from Blanc-Sablon.

If Ford is going this hard at something as who-gives-a-fuck like labels on soup cans, rest assured he's doing it to distract from something major that actually merits an angry response.

Slightly diminish a band: About the Same as Ezra

Unless you're talking about heteros, I think you mean "Straits" 😉

a man is standing on the top of a green van . ALT: a man is standing on the top of a green van .

It's probably best leaving that sort of stuff to half-humans anyway.

Did a morning 5k run on the QE/Colonel By MUPs this AM. Was passed by 12 cyclists… only one of them rang their bell. #ottbike, you can do way better than this.

btw: the guy who rang his bell had a sign on his back that said "RING BELL BEFORE PASSING – NCC RULE". Props to him for trying to educate.

This is the LPC playbook whenever they’re in power and the CPC has a reasonable chance at getting into government.

I’m unsurprised by your thoroughness in describing the trip so far 😉 Thanks for sharing your experience ✌️

I’ve been wanting to drive to St John’s via Labrador by way of the ferry at Blanc-Sablon for years and now my jealousy over this roadie you’re on is cranked to 11.

Gotta love when conservative premiers throw shade at Conservative MPs whose only actual interest in these fires is as (in their minds) potential vectors to attack the federal Liberals.

Garner is shameless in her hyperpartisanship… and has been for a very long time.

New arena location would be equidistant between Pimisi and Bayview stations. Pimisi can handle e’bound riders and Bayview can handle w’bound & s’bound riders.

It’s about as good a location for transit riders as we could hope for.

Just saw a pedestrian almost get run over by a driver turning right on red. Driver was sitting in the crosswalk (looking left up Metcalfe), forcing the ped to walk into the street… and kept looking left as they started to move, only looked forward when they were a foot from the walker.
