weyoun7.bsky.social @weyoun7.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Collision between two motorists? Looks like an e-motorcycle, not an e-bike or bicycle. 100
weyoun7.bsky.social @weyoun7.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I just don't want other people projecting their anxieties about cycling on to me. I constantly (and obnoxiously) get told by non-cyclists to wear a helmet. I wish they'd just let me make my own decisions based on my own risk tolerance. I'm not putting anyone else in danger by not wearing a helmet. 060
weyoun7.bsky.social @weyoun7.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Investing more in rural Ottawa is the opposite of fair. It takes away from the people that actually generate that money and have needs. 100

weyoun7.bsky.social @weyoun7.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Yes, and I believe the new e-ink displays for the bus stops cost somewhere around $9k each. Also ridiculous... 100
weyoun7.bsky.social @weyoun7.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I agree 100% there needs to be fiscal responsibility. Which is why we can't afford to spend 100s of millions of car infrastructure in the suburbs, nor can we afford to expand suburbs. Not without raising taxes. Genuinely curious, in your view, how has the city been fiscally irresponsible? 120
weyoun7.bsky.social @weyoun7.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Either that, or de-amalgamate and let the areas outside the greenbelt see the real price tag of road widenings a and other car dependent living. 100
weyoun7.bsky.social @weyoun7.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Taxes need to be raised. Urban areas generate most of the wealth but rural and suburban areas expect the same level of services without being able to pay for it. This is not sustainable with low taxes. 240
weyoun7.bsky.social @weyoun7.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I wonder if lack of awareness is also a major problem? Anecdotal, but hardly anyone I've talked to in my circle even knows there's a municipal election. They probably don't even know which ward they're in, who's their councillor and what issues are under municipal purview. 120

weyoun7.bsky.social @weyoun7.bsky.social · 09/08/2026This is because most people in Ottawa are either unaware or apathetic about municipal governance.

Reposted by @weyoun7.bsky.socialSean Devine @seandevine9.bsky.social · 25/01/2026Awesome! Raising $375K at a gala to address youth homelessness is great. Of course, that's a fraction of what's needed to address the issue long-term. One way to double that amount would be an additional tax increase of 0.01875%, or $1.13 more per year for the average taxpayer. Food for thought! 4407
