One fun thing is that Diana Matheson was there and I was just screaming “HOW COULD YOU DO THIS??? HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN IN YOUR LEAGUE???”

Since I'll be paying for Lansdowne 2.0 instead of ending homelessness or funding transit, and since stadiums are public good now, I very much look forward to attending all events there for free and I will expect regular cheques in the mail with profits from all the new retail and condos.

@glengower.ca Hey Glen! Breaking my social media sabbatical to say that I think Lansdowne 2.0 sucks the big one. I don't know why we're concerned that OSEG isn't making as much money as they would like. Looking forward to 3.0 when 2.0 doesn't live up to expectations for them.

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

Thinking about Lansdowne 2.0 and wondering why the city would even want to own and operate a dumb stadium because like, cities don't own stadiums! But then I checked and... they do?? Sometimes???

if landsdowne 2.0 is a public space for public benefit then i expect all events to be free and for it to be available for ottawa residents to rent/access/use.
Mayor arguing that Lansdowne 2.0 doesn’t meet to make money is a framing I wasn’t expecting. Good on CBC for pushing that this isnt like a library or transit that is a service. Mayor pushing that this is public space for public benefit 1/

"Saying 'the top of the third' and 'the bottom of the third' implies a middle of the third."

A fietsstraat is a Dutch street design where bicycles have priority, and cars are considered “guests.” The layout encourages safe, calm traffic by giving bikes the main position on the road, usually with red asphalt and clear signage.

It's been 25 years since One-Big-Ottawa was imposed on us. The world has finally taken note: this thing doesn't really work for urban or rural residents. I wrote about why and what's next.

The inevitable denouement of car culture: lonely guys talking to an AI woman as they sit in soul-crushing traffic on their way to a desk job behind the wheel of a vehicle they thought would make them cool and could survive the apocalypse.

While I love the O-Train, I think it's fair to say that its construction and implementation has been a hot mess, so I don't hate the idea of the city offloading its future expansion and operation to someone else. Unfortunately, the someone else is Metrolinx. youtu.be/e8mLZ7EE81I?...
