I also love Jordan Wilson for colour commentary and analysis. Great enthusiasm, and evaluation as a former player in the league. Some analysts focus on Controversial Takes, and it's annoying. Wilson focuses on the game he clearly loves.
Jenkins & Wilson both seem like good people too. That helps.

Meute is a German marching band who do electronica.
In fact they're the BEST German marching band doing electronica. 😂 Got to see them in concert last year, it was unreal.
Whatever music floats your boat is good.

Most modern country is awful. Throw darts at the dartboard of stereotypes for most modern lyrics (beers, girls, etc).
One modern bluegrass-ish band I love is Trampled By Turtles. A bit like Blue Rodeo. Here's a slow sad song of theirs.

I was journal manager of Canadian Field-Naturalist when we partnered with Biodiversity Heritage Library. BHL was great to work with. Make older issues freely available so they can be used. Win for authors, readers, the journal, and biodiversity knowledge. Great team at BHL!

That final game was ridiculous drama. I can't imagine the incredible highs and lows that Gagnon-Laparé went through.

She's wonderful. She shows us it's ok (great even) to have bright-eyed wonder about science. Her episode on the Taxidermy Championship is one of my favourites.

And sorry for all the questions, this is just interesting to learn how the system works in another Ontario city.

That's great that they're actually responsive!
How'd you learn that tickets came from your complaints? They share that info on the app?

Thanks. Do you find Ottawa takes action based on your 311 reports?

What is the mechanism for reporting bike lane blockages to the city of Ottawa? Is it futile?
I'm in Peterborough and I doubt the city would care.
