There sits my lonely door waiting for a candidate to knock. 50 days till voting day and I have had a total of one candidate to the door . This candidate was running for Council. I have seen no candidates for Mayor or School Board Trustee. Social media is great but nothing beats the door knock.

I volunteered as an NROCRC board member last night handing out popcorn at a movie night in Craig Henry Park and it reminded me that the best part of being a City Councillor is building community . Sometimes that purpose gets lost in election campaigns.

The performance of Tenacious Little F*cker in the Ottawa Public Library continues to amaze me and warm my heart in equal parts . 5 copies in the collection. Consistently, holds in the double digits. The book is borrowed, read and talked about. And we need to talk about survivors and their families.

I just finished this book by @bobbyrae48.bsky.social . It was written a few years ago which is a pity because I would have loved to read what he thinks of the world currently and the various new players since he wrote this fine book. Interested in politics read this book . It is a must.

Some of the many speakers expressing thanks for the work of so many volunteers who collected thousands of lbs of food as part of the Ottawa Summer Food Drive . So thankful for NROCRC being able to participate in this amazing initiative.

There appears to be a disconnect in this park in my community . Perhaps removal of the “convenient by the bench old style garbage can” might promote use of the new recycling station. Amongst all this talk about infrastructure renewal don’t we want nice parks?

Keith Egli @kegli.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
It seems that there are still 4 incumbents who have not filed as candidates . I believe all 4 have publicly said they would be running. Could they be reconsidering ? Why aren’t the same folks who were upset about the Mayor not filing right away not concerned about this ? @evanhpotter.bsky.social

I found out on the weekend that I sold a copy of Tenacious Little F*cker to someone in Australia. They purchased it off of Amazon. So if you are curious about the book but don’t live in Canada there are options . 😁

Keith Egli @kegli.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
No I am not running again but I did come across this gently used fridge magnet while sorting stuff for the upcoming give away weekend . A bit like a time capsule find 😄
