I truly despise the Portage/Wellington intersection, even more so in the winter. Let's see if I get a reply from @en.ottawa.ca

![Extrait de la page Wikipedia de Fayard:
Prise de contrôle par Vincent Bolloré
En juin 2022, Isabelle Saporta, jusqu'alors directrice littéraire, est nommée au poste de présidente-directrice générale[29]. Elle sera licenciée moins de deux ans après, Vincent Bolloré ayant pris le contrôle de l'éditeur en 2023, et imposant Lise Boëll à la tête d'une filiale du groupe, les Éditions Mazarine depuis 2024[30]. Elle est alors préférée à Alexandre Wickham, candidat proposé par la direction[31].
Bien que l'éditeur demeure pluraliste[32], plusieurs observateurs notent l'apparition de personnalités d'extrême droite au sein du catalogue de Fayard, dont Jordan Bardella[32],[33],[34] et Alain de Benoist[35],[36], ce qui est analysé comme étant un signe de la « bollorisation » de la maison d'édition[32],[33],[34]. Cela s'accentue en 2025[37].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6boumvn3wateju66mi62zk7z/bafkreihiqwxpuhll5e6p4ufulnjj5icddq2o2wtkwxldfy44o4siesbxdy@jpeg)
Step 7: front brake, all is well here, just simple hex bolts

Step 6: rear brake. The included special bolt is too long 😭 I'm assuming a regular bolt would work just as well, but just in case, let's go to Primeau Vélo and get the right one.

Step 5bis: the bendy bit of cable housing that's supposed to come with the derailleur wasn't included (not too surprising, given I got it on Aliexpress). And it's a tight curve for regular housing. A good occasion to check out Primeau Vélo! For the front regular housing, easy to procure.

Step 5: rear derailleur on the frame. And look at those sweet details!

Step 2: bottom bracket. A bit of grease, easy to install. Got the right tool, too, but a 1/2" bit on the torque wrench is needed 😭
Off to the bike shop!

Ok, let's document this.
Step 1: seatpost clamp. No tools required. Perfect occasion to check colour match. I'd call that a success

The standards are just abysmal. This is what I saw at Corso Italia station a week ago. It's been open for a year, and nobody noticed/cared that the floors were switched on signage 🫠

After 3 weeks away, @en.ottawa.ca doesn't waste anytime reminding me of its mediocrity.

If I'm to believe Wikipedia, Canada's and China's consumption-based emissions are both lower than the production-based emissions, with both countries having 8% of their emissions due to exports.

ll aurait pu très facilement préciser son point de vue, ce qu'il n'a pas fait, et son comportement ressemble pas mal à celui d'un troll.
Quand il sort un post de ce genre, il est pas mal clair qu'il pense que ce n'est pas un problème politique.
