Be a friend we're all in this together!
One way or another we will beat this, as long as we can stay respectful and united together.
If we give in to the chaos of this circus, it will be extraordinarily hard to stop the change.
Support each other and endure.

A very cool looking project. That's doable now and soon will be more doable in the future for us in Ottawa.
That's my hope that OC can eventually be a distributor of indoor Transit screens to all kinds of businesses.

Not the happiest of stories but a decent read. A reminder that prisons largely have taken up the role of mental health institutions. Not all of us function the same, nor do all of us get a proper starting life. Both critical to dealing with the mess that is life.

When I met Craig he was 13 and homeless. I still thought his life might turn around. I was tragically wrong
The long read: I knew he was running away from something. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered the truth

We're at 82% or so vaccination rate and declining.
Disinformation generates profit, but more importantly, it disrupts and strains government, allows radicalization, wastes money and ultimately kills people.
Our enemies exploit this. Countering this will be a critical fight going forward.

In remembrance. For peace is transient and conflict is inevitable, we must always remember the cost and the humans behind it.

🍿 I wonder what it's magically going to turn into next 🍿
The sidewalks under the Bank Street 417 underpass seem to be a magnet for random pedestrian obstacles. First it was the two seemingly permanent traffic cones on the western side (also pictured here) and now it’s a portable toilet on the eastern side.

I’m happy to say that we worked with the city and OC transpo to install two new bus stops on Main St at Centennial. They are temporary now and permanent next spring. This cuts walking distance significantly and better connects up with the General Hospital. #Ottawa #Ottcity

I'm sure we're going to get a lot of this today as the weather has changed.

A winterized unicycle... That's pretty bold. I wonder how that holds up on ice and bad terrain?
Good morning to the person who passed me on a winterized unicycle (?!) as I was walking to the LRT this morning.

A neat look at how television news is about to implode with the aging out of the boomers.
Online news is still popular, but I wonder if, this tracks how people get to the online news primarily driven by social media.
Still. I'm glad less people are getting their news from Twitter 😂

A reminder that in the most recent federal election most people still got the vast plurality of their news from mainstream media.
So, as much as fact checking is critical, just because something is a thing online doesn’t mean it has to be chased.
Serious issues matter.
