“We need people to go into politics & not feel threatened. It’s about the health of our democracy because if you want people to go into politics, you can’t expect that they’re going to put up with this and their families are going to put up with it.” My take on security threats to politicians.

Pssst…anyone wanna buy a big red 🐄 for 4000 bucks? It’s not eligible for the storewide discount of course…but it’s awfully tempting if it does come down in price substantially 🤣

It is always suddenly about “green space” when people don’t want supportive housing or a shelter near them. This land is zoned industrial, owned by the hospital, and will be used to house and treat people recovering from addictions. I support this project 100% www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

So #ottbike and Reddit Ottawa came through big by reuniting me with my trusty winter bike that I thought was long gone around 7:00 PM last night. I've since deleted the original stolen bike post as Games Workshop's very own r/DetectiveMagicMan recovered it and alerted the world.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Voting is harm reduction. We do not vote for perfection but for progress, step by step. If you have to pinch your nose while you do it, then do it. But "They all suck" is defeatist BS that only benefits the worst people in politics.

Kevin O'Leary to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social on Cross Country Checkup, rough quote: "The Canadian dollar has dropped 40% against the US dollar under Trudeau." Fact check: the CAD has dropped 34% from the 2011 peak, but just 4% of that drop happened under Trudeau. The big drop happened under Harper.

As a member of #ottbike I’m anxious for all the ❄️ and 🥶 to go away…but having the full length of the Canal open for so long has been a real treat. Bravo to Mother Nature, @NCC_CCN and the @NCC_Skateway crew for an amazing season. And yes, it was great for my 🏃‍♂️s!

It’s frustrating when the real estate and development industries advocate for lower development fees without advocating for something better to replace them: either new taxing powers for municipalities or higher property taxes. Growth is not paying for growth. ottawacitizen.com/opinion/otta...

Czan and Christy: Ottawa needs a better approach to steep development fees
Ottawa’s current practice — repeatedly increasing development charges — is not sustainable and does not help create affordable housing.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Went out for a 🏃‍♂️…it was quite the slogfest including this incomprehensible section of Sussex where the plow operator at some point decided…nope…not gonna clear this section of the bridge 🤷‍♂️. I’d love to know why this 50m stretch couldn’t be cleared.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Begging drivers to understand: when it's snowy like this, the edge of the road is unpredictable for a biker, so I need to be further out in the lane, and also I might need to move out to avoid some snow ridges or some shit so kindly give me the actual space to be safe and stop trying to lane split

Godspeed to any #ottbike having to brave those ferocious headwinds today. I gave up once I got to Tunneys and 🚖 to work and 🚍 back to my 🚲. Going home wasn’t much faster because the violent eddying wind and slick roads made for a white knuckle ride back 😅

Basically 16 KMs of my 🏃‍♂️ today were in near perfect conditions and the remaining 4 KMs were a slippy slushy disaster. Thankfully we have the Canal this year because this 🏃‍♂️ would’ve sucked majorly!

Shout out to my #ottbike friends (and there were many!!!) out on the roads/paths today. For yours truly, the -16C was a rude awakening after 2 weeks of vacay. I roughly estimated about 2-3 dozen 🚲s out on Sussex/Mackenzie/Scott (although it dwindled as I hit Richmond going into Bells Corners). 🥶🚲👊🏼🤘🏼

Yes 🚍 in Ottawa can be awful; however, I've started using it after a 20+ year drought: 1. The pay by CC changed everything for me. Finally the friction of needing cash/Presto was gone. 2. Most 🚍s can be tracked with Transit (or other apps). The convenience of hopping on vs. Uber et al. is huge.
