Caught the snowbirds from the Ontario side of the Ottawa river last night. Iconic. Will be a few years before they perform again. 🇨🇦

Passing a cyclist on the bike path beside the 174 with my fat tire ebike. Its a pedal assisted bike, I use it to commute 30kms many days. Me: "Nice day for it!", smiling. Him "Yeah, but you're cheating." I didn't even know I was racing.

Lowest expectations I've seen in years for my Leafs. One of the better rosters I've seen in years. This is going to be a fun year for Leafs fans.

Maybe I'm getting old, maybe I'm cynical. In my 50s, working with twentysomethings, training them to navigate a high demand, high stress job. The amount of AI these young adults are using to do basic things like write emails and learn processes is astounding to me.

Oh, man. Because of Ottawa's extreme weather yesterday, Cornerstone Housing for Women suffered a flood. It's taking major resources, human and financial, to deal with the damage and keep women housed. They're asking folks to donate, if they can:

Leafs fans are not upset that Mitch Marner is ripping it up for #VegasGoldenKnights this playoff. Quite the contrary. Happy he's found his groove. We were upset that he couldn't do it here when we really wanted him to.

Listen up: I am one of those rare sex assault victims who actually took the guy who did it to court. It was a local scandal that put my initials on the front page of the local paper (not my whole name because I was a minor). You have no idea what happens to women on the stand or in the press.

Hey #ottbike Innes rd between Jeanne d'arc and Orleans blvd is a mudbath of potholes and people who literally want to kill you. Just wanted to go from Convent Glen to Canadian Tire. This city is trying to kill pedestrians and cyclists.

With rapidly rising energy prices, now would be a great time for Canada to remove the GST on bicycles and cycling safety gear. Maybe no GST on the first $2000 of the cost of a bicycle or $3000 of a EN/UL certified E-Bike? Doing this now would capture the start of the warmer weather commuting time.

Just heard that Brady Tkachuk also lost 3 teeth this afternoon in addition to Hughes losing 2 on that high stick. It's a crazy game of chance and self sacrifice. Brady lost his trying to get the chocolate out of the gold medal.

Ogilvie road had been a disaster for winter cycling this year. The bike lane is already pretty awful, but it's not cleared in odd places forcing me into squeeze situations, crazy potholes and sewers, and there's no other option to go from Blair to St Laurent. #ottbike

Super bummed... My bicycle pedal worked loose, and stripped all the threads before falling off on my way to work. Can't use a standard crank arm, I have to wait a week or 2 for a new one. I need my morning rides.

I lived this in Ottawa. How does a city transit service survive the reputational damage that is caused by poor decision making made without it's input in the planning stages? How does a city survive the 3P structure and associated loss of control that comes with 3P contracts?

No Canada, no USA in the gold medal game at the WJC championships. Pretty shocking, tbh. Both great teams. Sweden vs Czechia, also both great teams, but can't say I'm not disappointed!

Ken W @drivesincircles.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

Super crappy that we won't get a Can/USA WJC game this year. SWE just squeezed by the very gutsy FIN team. Great hockey. Here's hoping Canada 🇨🇦 can get by CZE tonight for a date with Sweden 🇸🇪. #worldjuniorchampionship

It was a year of exploration. Lots of riding. Rode over the Himalayas in India, camped and walked Iceland, rode the local forests and towns here in Ontario. New people, new languages, new places. Gonna do it again this year. Bring on '26.

Seeing fellow Leafs fans turn on Marner, and now Matthews... We cannot have nice things. Both goaltenders out. Big pieces on D out. And they're still hanging around. Take about 20% off the rage, fans. It's not that bad, and without 34 it's way worse.

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
