Be a friend we're all in this together!
One way or another we will beat this, as long as we can stay respectful and united together.

If we give in to the chaos of this circus, it will be extraordinarily hard to stop the change.

Support each other and endure.

Byward to the Bank!
The transit cost shall be blank!
Great coverage from Elina Ellis and Nyla McEwan at Capital Current about the issues with Bank Street and why bus lanes are needed if we want any serious chance of success for Lansdowne 2.0.

It's great to see so many different groups realize we need bus lanes!

Snow ending by 5:30 downtown. 5 at Bayshore. Earlier out west. 5:50 onwards Orleans.

The trailing edge should be fairly heavy. So expect a moderate dump around 5ish +/- 30mins

10-12pm is still forecasted for a lil snow, for the night hawks.

Imagine capturing every bad driver, speeder and stolen vehicle in each of these photos with full automation.

That's going to be the end goal 💪

I splurged a little and got myself some Blond/Light coffee. After drinking cheap mediums, and the odd smokey dark.

It's nice to be back. Some people hate a fruity coffee, but it's a nice change once in a while.

Yay. We're almost halfway through the pain tunnel.

The Occasional Heating Division wishes to inform you, it is operating as built

Please continue pressing buttons. We are gaining data for our ongoing study of the endurance of human suffering

We thank you for your patience as we maintain our tradition of delivering nothing, on time, without remorse
The heat is a lie. Pressing the button merely alerts OC Transpo operations centre so they can huddle around the CCTV feed and laugh at you while you freeze. They’re then compiled into a ‘Best Of’ reel for the City Council Christmas party because our transit suffering pleases 16 of them.

1. I got to catch a bus at 5:50am, So my commute is not 2 hours
2. Other people are generally not great, less so, drunk
3. Who wants to pay a lot of money to just stand around/be seen, and drink? (Aside from socialites)
4. We need 5 AM coffee/transit clubs ♥️

Bayshore apartments just had 8% just got approved (2.5 over), I mean how else are they going to recuperate the 8 million dollars that they put in to making the place look good, so they can sell more units?

If not to charge you into perpetuity for it.

They're going to write books on the level of corruption. Doug Ford puts out.

Now in a giant pork bill, they are looking to open the door for points to expire.

Points like gift cards, are corpo money up-front, but hang as an expansive liability on the books till the corpo defaults.

Boo Hoo 😁

Interesting. Looks like a slide in, as Jeff takes on the Mayor, If he doesn't, then it would be quite a kerfuffle.

Another reason not to worry about Russia's nuclear arsenal.

It takes incredible money to maintain your strategic missiles, and Russia has been looting and undermining the basics for decades. Let alone now.

So let's take a look at how the missiles are...
Russia tested its latest ICBM the „RS-28 Sarmat“ in the Orenburg region. It failed.

I wonder how many millions of emails they must get every year. They run the same PR campaign, every year, year after year without fail.

Just turn the GPS back on, or tell people it comes when it comes. Stop wasting our friggin tax dollars 😂
This is Ottawa – snow happens. And when it does, we get to work. In this month’s episode of #OttCity’s official podcast series, we OttaTalk about how the City responds when the snow starts to fall.
