Kicking a tail light out is definitely out of the question
If you filter past ICE at a red light they can shoot you because you threatened their automotive supremacy

I haven’t gone to look at Riverside and Bank yet while they’ve been doing this. Are we going to get another Meg Dussault death?

Lansdowne disaster will result in injury or death for a pedestrian or cyclist. A thread of traffic of heavy equipment. A driver almost rear ending someone, then honking at them, then not looking for pedestrians to the right @shawnmenard.bsky.social @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social

Need motivation to train for the Camino Santiago? Try taking transit in #autowa This the The Way.
Yesterday on the way home from a long city council meeting, I saw that my bus wasn’t going to come for 40(!) min, so I walked. Not everyone has that option.

I believe that you deserve compensation for being left out in the cold. And we need every option on the table to get OC Transpo moving again.

There can be some gatekeeping in the cycling community so just remember that when it comes to biking there are only two rules: Wear what you want. Ride what you want and don't let anyone tell you differently

They probably had special constables at the gates giving them tickets because their transfer window had closed.

I find OC Transpo’s train failure a spalling #ShowMyselfOut

This is the second physical attack on a Democratic Member of Congress this week. The other was Maxwell Frost.

If you have to stop quickly, that block of snow is going to slide and obstruct your windshield and put you and anyone around you in danger. Your windshield wipers will also likely break in your futile attempt to remedy a situation you caused.
Also clean off your car and if you can't do it yourself, ask a neighbor, friend, or coworker. There is no excuse for driving with an obstructed view or a giant block of snow on your roof.

Imagine if your car only started 37% of the time when you went to take it to get to work in the morning.
Our cancellation tracker now can filter for peak periods. This is when most people experience the system, and when most cancellations occur

This morning:
On the 15: 63% of trips cancelled
On the 5: 56% of trips cancelled
On the 41: 48% of trips cancelled

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Person struck by a driver inflicting serious injury, the first tragedy of 2026. We expect this person, their family and community, have a life-changing road to recovery. We know that Ottawa has a road safety policy of accepting tragedy as inevitable. This tragedy is an outcome, not an accident.
