Back from doing a couple of errands. I saw a driver with only the driver's side windshield cleared of snow. The rest of the car was covered in snow. What the hell is wrong with people?

Please remember.....This is not a happy time for everyone. Many that work in restaurants and retail have to deal with horrible customers, many are alone for whatever reason and there are those that have been discarded by friends and family. Take time to be kind, even a little bit

Councillor Tim Tierney is wrong about ‘Chronic No-Voters’ in his Ottawa Citizen Op/Ed on Saturday.
His opinion would be easier to take seriously if the comments weren’t coming from someone with a 15-year track record of being a reliable yes-man for every budget. 1/21

I figure the best thing Ontarians can do at this point is try to ignore all the news of Doug Ford’s next four years worth of debacles and boondoggling and just hope there’s enough of Ontario left in 2029 to start rebuilding.

$500M in public money went to Algoma Steel and now 1,000+ jobs are gone. The Liberals say they support workers, but this is what happens when their bailouts reward corporations instead of families. We need federal projects using Canadian steel and stronger EI for workers who get left behind.

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

We ask city staff to put together budgets, but they are working with scraps.

Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.
But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.
They are still worth getting.
Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.
