Seeing the City still on Twitter is embarrassing as a taxpayer, btw. They pay for that crap.

Most are there because they think their follower counts matter. Its pure ego. People with 10k followers and 10-20 engagements on their posts still think the 10k is a real number.
Clinging to your 15 minutes, clueless.

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.
Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.
Delete your account.

It’s really fun to spend years working with residents and city staff to move important projects along and then have the provincial government just cancel everything due to toxic populism.
If u care about better cities for people in Ontario Canada, please pay attention to what Premier Ford is doing.

There are two speed cameras on Walkley Rd between Bank and St Laurent that were installed in 2024. In 2022 that stretch of Walkley had 34 collisions with injuries. In 2024, after the cameras were turned on, there were just 4 collisions with injuries. Speed cameras work.

Tremendous to hear some veteran Ottawa city councillors argue that Lansdowne 2.0 is needed because the previous overhaul that they voted for is crap.

Part of my certification as a rail traffic controller involves rotating to overnight shifts a few times a year. That's my week this week. From the hustle of running the afternoon rush to managing maintenance activities and track permits. By Thursday I'll be a zombie.
