Starting a so-called progressive mayoral run by beefing with the most progressive councillors in the city is certainly a choice.

Any chance the Orleans YMCA will be open as well?

Wondering where we can direct folks to stay warm this weekend in the east end of Ottawa. @lauradudas.bsky.social @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social
any advice?

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there

Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

Carney isn't just failing Canada, he's failing the world. If we don't stand for democracy and a rules-based international order, why would any other country come to Canada's defence when we need it?

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women

🧵

Imagine the response in any other workplace if you called your colleague names in the middle of a meeting. A public apology for such childish behaviour is warranted @timtierney.ca.

This morning, Mayor Sutcliffe held a press conference outlining the modified Lansdowne 2.0 recommendations before city councillors or the public had access to them. That’s unacceptable. Transparency and respect for Council should come before media rollouts.

Pleased to be with @glengower.ca at @otttransitriders.bsky.social event tonight featuring @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social. We used to have one of the best transit systems in North America - these folks want us to get back to that!

Charlie Kirk was a champion of free speech and anyone who says otherwise will be fired

I agree with a lot of what you’re saying, but given your highlighted importance of Pride, do you not think it’s reasonable to call on the mayor to apologize for boycotting Pride last year?

Govt intervened way too early in the Air Canada strike, and it's caused chaos. If the strike had been allowed to play out for days, pressure increases on both employer and union to bargain. Instead, AC ran to govt to put their thumb on the scale, and now the natural balance is skewed

CUPE's Mark Hancock is prepared to be jailed for defying the Carney government's back-to-work order to force Air Canada to negotiate with flight attendants

"If it means folks like me going to jail, so be it...Our members want a solution here, but that solution has to be found at a bargaining table"

Would be interesting if feds just announced now they will enact legislation requiring flight attendants be paid their hourly wage for all hours worked.

Both Tories and NDP have already said such a law should be passed. Only Liberals resisting.

How would that affect the dispute?

#AirCanada

“The Liberals are violating our Charter rights to take job action and give Air Canada exactly what they want — hours and hours of unpaid labour from underpaid flight attendants, while the company pulls in sky-high profits and extraordinary executive compensation”

BREAKING: Jobs minister orders Air Canada flight attendants back to work Air Canada flight attendants have officially begun their strike after failing to reach a deal with the airline, the Canadian Union of Public Employees announced Saturday morning.

Reminder that the strike is about a women-dominated workforce doing unpaid labour while executives get huge bonuses. Carney's Liberals are exactly who we warned they were.

Teachers, journalists, healthcare workers, and academics have been fired or suspended for expressing pro-Palestinian views. Some workers and students have been added to public or private blacklists (Canary Mission) for pro-Palestinian activism

Today and every day, believe survivors.

The system is beyond flawed when several men tell several different stories and communicate they need to “get their stories straight” before an investigation and cannot be questioned on their own actions or reliability.

conservatives: let’s cut important crown corporations

liberals: let’s have important crown corporations *cut themselves* we are much better

People who feel bad for JD Vance’s kids as family gets booed at Disneyland. I get it, but better those kids know now what their father is about. Other kids are watching their parents get shipped off to gulags.

Something particularly gross about a white man telling a woman her experiences and perception of safety and danger aren’t real.

Yes the limitations to City Hall access are problematic but help society tackle the real issues - violence, misogyny - rather than blaming politicians trying to stay safe.

I expected to be disappointed by Carney.

I did not expect to be this disappointed this quickly.

Respectfully, the OPH website says nothing about places that will be open 24/7 or where people can safely spend a night if they don’t have air conditioning.

Feel like I’m just yelling into a void trying to get answers about cooling centers in Ottawa for tomorrow’s heat wave. People will die without access to temperature-controlled spaces and our city has advertised nothing.
@ottawapublichealth.ca @lauradudas.bsky.social @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social

What’s the plan for people to have temperature-controlled places to sleep? Will 24/7 cooling shelters be available?

Not sure this is an effective rejoinder to the charge, implied and explicit, of being a bitch

The Free Speech Administration throwing down arguably the biggest sledgehammer against free thought and association in my lifetime.
