Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I don’t imagine the engineers and scientists who understand that SI refers to the Système Internationale (SI) of globally agreed units of measure (kilogram, metre, ampere, etc.) will be impressed. 001
Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Don’t overestimate your surveillance powers, excellent though they may be under normal circumstances. You will be so exhausted by eight o’clock that you won’t notice her inserting the knife in the plug socket. 010
Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Our son who had an interest in military history wanted to call our dog Rommel. We settled for Rex. 010

Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 13/03/2026I think Toad’s bathing suit is rather fetching, in the style of Captain Webb. I have been looking for a similar item for a while. 020

Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Thanks for the update, Councillor. That’s good news. Fifth Avenue is currently impassable, owing to a combination of snow banks and extra traffic related to the Charge game. 020
Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 13/01/2026Thank you for your leadership in promoting access to basic public services. It shouldn’t need to be this difficult. 040

Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 23/11/2025It’s a probability thing, but often lacking in clarity. Try getting a definition of “the area”, for example. Local radar is your friend. 000

Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 13/08/2025Come on, Jim. West Brom would take at least a point from Chelsea over two games, so erratic are they. 110
Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 28/06/2025Great initiative, although I do have concerns around Riverain Park: the geese there are already pretty aggressive when sober. 020
Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 28/06/2025I too wish such measures were not needed, but we do need to ensure the safety of our city employees and elected officials. For what it’s worth, I was at City Hall this week to get a new health card and the new security protocols (metal detector/ bag screening) were not onerous. 031

Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 23/05/2025The abandoned Hotel Grand Cerf in Alençon, France. Left empty and unmaintained for close to two decades, apparently as a result of a dispute between the owner who wanted to convert into a casino and the town council. @abandonedplaces.world 160
Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Agreed. Much better in many ways to provide people with supportive housing than locking them up unnecessary. 140
Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 05/05/2025We use this bridge regularly. It’s been a tremendous addition to our cycling network. Its value is clearly demonstrated by the fact that we’ve never been on it alone 🙂. If we could keep it open year round it would be perfect. 030
Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 19/04/2025I’m conflicted about this. The original was so perfect, a sequel after so long is likely to be disappointing. Here’s hoping not! 000

Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 08/04/2025My riding is Ottawa Centre, predicted to be a safe Liberal seat, with the CPC in second and NDP in third place. I assume that the predictions are based on national trends and don’t take account of local conditions. We have a highly popular former local NDP MPP running, who is sure to be competitive. 000
Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 16/03/2025How about a trip to the laundrette? You could spend a fortune on a drier and meet the most interesting people. 000
Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 11/03/2025If I remember correctly, damage is proportional to the cube of the axle weight, so damage goes up quickly with vehicle size. 010
Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 02/03/2025If the PM has to formally ask our overseas monarch to speak on our behalf, is a vote of Parliament required? If not, I have a pen I would gladly lend Trudeau. 000

Meanwhile, the third-place party won over 500,000 more votes than the second-place party. First-past-the-post is broken. It’s time for proportional representation. #onpoli 25630

Phil Lightfoot 🇨🇦 @plightfo.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Our dog found a hot dog bun in the arboretum one day. He searched that spot every time we walked by for years.
