Only criminals attack the innocent. ICE agents abusing power should be arrested, and so should the man who gave them their orders.

I don’t mean this as a slight to Radley but driver entitlement is a disease of the mind. And I say that as a regular driver! Broken brains throughout the responses to this tweet

I think it was a huge mistake to make our society so car-dependent. But man. The Discourse today is a good reminder that when it comes to roadways policy, otherwise progressive anti-car people quickly become some of the most pro-carceral, anti-civil liberties people on the planet.

And here’s the kicker: Tierney’s vote, the mayor’s vote, and all the like-minded councillors always have the numbers. They win. Every time.

More info on the Habitat for Humanity project coming to Ward 9 that I helped make happen. 33 new townhomes might be a drop in the bucket when it comes to our housing needs, but for 33 qualifying families soon to own their first home, that drop is as deep as an ocean! www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/artic...
Ontario government, City of Ottawa partner with Habitat for Humanity on new modular homes

This is a large outage across much of Wards 8 and 9, affecting Manordale, Tanglewood, Crestview, Merivale Gardens, The Glens, General Burns, Carleton Heights, Parkwood Hills, and Fisher Heights. No info on the cause. Estimated restoration time 2:30am. I’ll try to get more info.

Cops don’t keep you safe. Cops don’t reduce crime.
Canadians deserve to be safe in your communities.
That’s why we’re hiring 1,000 more RCMP personnel and strengthening the Criminal Code — to help keep violent and repeat offenders off your streets.

We need to talk about Bill 9, Bill 9 and Bill C-9.

Are these "continuous improvements", or sleight of hand? Obfuscation, deflection, misrepresentation, whatever you want to call it. It's the pre-election budget, and someone's pumping the tires, but the tires have holes. That "hisssss" you hear is the sound of credibility leaking.

The Order of Ottawa holds up for recognition residents of our city "who have brought honour and prestige to themselves" through their contributions to the City. No doubt, Watson accomplished many things, but with such a tainted record of scandals & failures, how do you derive honour & prestige?

In doing this, he managed to piss off one of his own cabinet ministers (who promptly resigned), coastal First Nations, the B.C. government, the Green Party and the Bloc Québécois.

When much the City’s self-described “savings and efficiencies” include deferrals of capital investments as well as reduced fuel costs resulting from the elimination of the Carbon Tax, it’s more accurate to call it “cost avoidance” and “blind luck”.
