Name a quote from The Simpsons.

For us urban dwellers, it's the end of the day that matters. Give me the light then. I used to go to school in the dark in Alberta, and it would still be dark well into my first class. I'm fine, everyone else will be, too. and besides, it starts getting light an hour before sunrise. Not right at.

Me, too. I'm also not a morning person. Many people aren't. I resent morning people deciding the schedule for the rest of us. People also don't realise just how early it would start getting light in summer if we were on standard time, which is before 3 am....and before my bedtime.

We have the money to solve this many times over. What we don't have is the political will or desire. I'm scared to think how may people they'll have to feed next year, and how close are we to the point we can't provide the meals to all who need them?

I've lived in a town almost half the size of the amount of people served today. That blows my mind. We need UBI and affordable housing immediately.

Honestly, I think it's a disgrace they had to serve that many. It's a sign of a failed system. The fact that so many need the mission is horrible. A country as rich as Canada claims to be should have no need, as everyone should be well fed, and well housed, and all other needs met.

The quote about the best argument against democracy is 5 minutes with the average voter keeps proving itself to be true. There's such a disconnect, people don't pay attention and don't realise cause and effect, let alone understand jurisdiction. Ottawa is not better off than 4 years ago.

For those wondering, CBC Ottawa will also have a Mayor's Debate on Wednesday the 21st of October, one week after CTV's. CBC's will air at 7 pm.

The same people who don't want to fund transit are completely fine with Sutcliffe's bailout of Lansdowne. Half of them don't go down there anyway, and would rather watch the CFL on tv in their suburban homes. You are right, though, and a lot of people have been protesting the bailout.

It is definitely a top issue, the problem is the electorate will vote to continue it's neglect, along with the rest of our infrastructure, because people here don't want to pay for anything.

Canada wins on Penalties. 4-2 Ottawa Rapid's DB Pridham sends her penalty home, but it was AFC Toronto's Kaylee Hunter wins it. The Northern Super League players really elevated the play after they were subbed in.

I know that American television channels also won't show it, I believe there is a law in both countries where you can not show an actual death (fictional is different) on tv. I don't understand why anyone would want to see that anyway.

It should be blocked from viewing in Canada. We all know they won't block it down here, but we can't let sick people here who may want to watch it have that desire satisfied. I'd like to see other countries block it as well.

I am hoping that the livestream of the execution will be blocked from viewing in Canada. I wouldn't watch it, anyway, but those here who do shouldn't be given the satisfaction of satisfying their sick desires.

civilised countries don't have executions and they certainly don't broadcast them.

Why the heck hasn’t the Byward Market been fully pedestrianized yet: George St, William St, Market Sq St; York St converted to pick-up/drop-off loops; parking garage converted to open plaza with benches, busking, planter boxes. And yes yes, retractable bollards to still allow off-peak deliveries.

This really is a case of first world problems. When we saw this on the news last night, my wife said she would gladly have taken what was offered in exchange. When you travel, there are always risks, whether it's climate change, political or something else. Must be really nice to afford a cruise.

It's good that they can make so many meals, but it's horrible that they have to make so many. In a country that has Canada's wealth, there shouldn't be a need for the Ottawa Mission.
