Adam: Put the brakes on these calls for a new Ottawa ring road The city rejects it, but two local politicians have issued fresh calls for Premier Ford to OK a major bypass, says Mohammed Adam.

A ring road is not that. Council has rightly rejected this idea every time it surfaces.

We should instead invest in transit, which is in danger of death spiral.

“I asked chatgpt” Yeah well I took my love, I took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills

My bluesky algorithm is still a little funky - nothing besides books, cats, and politics. So it's not like it's wrong, but would like some more weird occult things, interesting space and science discoveries, and archeology stuff too!
