Does PM Carney not have any female friends he can appoint to things? I’m sure Wiseman is solid but it’s always ‘an old buddy’ getting the call.

Everything else aside, a veteran politician wrote a whole op-ed about how the failures of city policies he identifies are the fault of the people who, unlike him, vote against those policies.

Every single thing about this thoughtful thread from @lucyvanolden.bsky.social is bang on. Thank you. Tim’s opinion piece angered me in so many ways, so baseless and wrong, his “head in the sand” approach doesn’t deserve another moments thought. What concerns me more is Tim is positioned 1/

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

Journalists once legitimized Rebel news. We need to look in the mirror and be answerable for how we contributed to last night’s debate debacle. Read @caj defence of them. The Rebel and ilk were the same right wing agitators then as they are today. caj.ca/alberta-gove...

If you can access the Globe article please read more on this incredible Canadian patriot. I’m lucky to be working with the folks at the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards and Bob Ezrin is one of this year’s laureates. www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/music/a...

Why CBC continues to invite this quisling on its programs is hard to understand. (It keeps happening) Here is @kevinolearytv in Miami Vice cosplay with a shirt the colour of ringworm boring everyone to death with his ‘insights’ just like he’s doing on CBC radio right now.

Turns out @kevinolearytv will be on CBC Check Up later… No Canadian cares what this guy (who wears dubious white cringe suits at Mar a Lago) thinks! Dont normalize the drivel O’Leary spouts. He craves attention like a toddler and he’s not that interesting

Canadians are fuming and fighting back. As a side benefit we’ve also reclaimed the flag from the odious convoy co-opting . Let’s go Canada! 💪💪

Hundreds of citizens came out today to say yes to refugees in their backyard. The Mayor gave one of of his most impressive speeches to date. IMO. This was leadership, taking a stand in favour of compassion and inclusiveness on behalf of the majority of us.

The mayor and I often disagree, but he is rock solid in his commitment to welcoming newcomers and refugees and that is something I will 100% get behind. Today was important.

If you need a little hope in your step today… the majority of city council came out to support refugees. There has been much misinformation on what a sprung structure is and that is causing fear and opposition in Ottawa.

Today was about solidarity and getting the story straight. The Mayor MarkSutcliffe gave one of his strongest leadership messages to date IMO about supporting this. It was inspiring

The Ottawa International Writers Festival was sizzling listening to Carol Off. “At a Loss For Words” is a perfect book to help understand these dark political and social times. The crowd was on its feet applauding when she finished urging us all to find solidarity in the days ahead.
