I don’t know why the @en.ottawa.ca allows builders to block sidewalks on a busy street like Parkdale.

Friends and colleagues of Tim Cook gathered at the Canadian War Museum Friday to remember a great historian and a great guy who did so much to preserve and share Canadians’ stories.

This is the second black legged tick I’ve picked up this week in Frontenac County. It went for a little stroll after I detached it. Then I dispatched it.

My last byline in the Ottawa Citizen print edition is this Page 1 story about the 1980 “Canadian Caper” during the Iran hostage crisis when Canadian diplomats risked their lives to help six Americans. What a sad betrayal we see today of the long-standing Can-Am friendship. #ElbowsUp

Thomas Simpson and @ontarioliberal.bsky.social need to get out and start cleaning up these signs all over Ottawa Centre.

I took a photo of all the houses displaying Canadian flags that I ran past today, Feb. 15, the 60th anniversary of our red Maple Leaf flag.

It was five years ago, Feb. 5, 2020, that I started taking regular screenshots of the Johns Hopkins “Coronavirus tracker” website. There had been 494 deaths. It’s now estimated at over 7 million.

A beautiful skate home tonight on perfect ice on the Rideau Canal Skateway. This the Flora MacDonald pedestrian bridge. I love its lighting design.

Wow. Serious error to elect to transfer to the bus from the LRT at Tunneys instead of walking the 2 km home. I’ve already waited 20 minutes and see now it’s another 28 min until it arrives.
