anyway that we can get proper traffic lights with pedestrian advanced signals, longer left-turn signals and maybe some coordination with adjacent intersections for the following intersections in #ottawa:
Campeau and Terry Fox in #kanata
Riverside and Hunt Club (northbound Riverside to westbound HC)🤞

In the “Before Times” always appreciated the sidewalk “sculptures “ that the City created by simply ignoring the benefit to all for having cleared sidewalks
By sculptures I mean random piles of snow allowed to harden and narrow use of sidewalks.
Both Elgin and Albert taking top prizes back then!

or how about...ask another actual person/parent that has gone through this such-novel experience in life.
like come on: is he just being a consummate salesperson afraid of the investors thinking that he would not trust the AI with his child's well-being 🤔

you know another "high-risk driving behaviour"? Speeding!
you know what contributes to changing people's behaviour (reactively though!)? Automated speed enforcement cameras!
you know who doesn't believe that? Yep, a guy called 'Doug'!

Ah but Tech Savants (aka Snake-oil sales people!) will turn this around and sell you on the benefits that AI will save you so much time and make you so much more productive that you will in fact have more time to learn how to sew that effing button back on that crappy shirt made using AI machines 🤬

"defining "affordable" is critical": Yes!
Too many people (incl. politicians at all levels) throw term around with few challenging them to define it!
No more political-bromide on this topic unless it is easy to understand.
Local candidates in #ottawa : be ready to answer that in next election!

As you noted “This was a scurrilous ad hominem attack on the integrity of City Council colleagues”.
Bringing up the past on a matter of political integrity was entirely fair play on Troster’s part.
Ugly week in #ottpoli : yep.
Integrity-point awarded to Troster: yep!

As QC is in play, will #canada throw away agricultural supply management during trade negotiations in exchange for economic benefits (if any) related to this portion of the new defence strategy?

Wow! “Mixed reactions”
Then it must be the correct solution to proceed with.
Placate one group as expense of another; piss off same group for benefit of other!
Or…perfect is the enemy of good!
Just do something!

#ottawa must not be bamboozled into forgetting what corruption looks like.
Aside from this: OPS must focus and deliver on core policing. IMHO acting as a flag person at a construction site is not core to their training and professionalism. Might be peanuts in the budget but it’s a start!

When you let the fox enter the hen-house, what do think will happen?
Fox: we can open the fence right here so that I can access the farm safely, avoid injuries, and be able to chase away the Rats more easily and protect the eggs.
Fox: Must have been the Hawk that got that chicken! 🤥

Who chooses these totally random, unrelated pics to actual news article?
Got hacked?
Get a hug! and cheering!
Not a fan of his...but Jivani's photo would have been best for this incident's article.
Be pissed! And direct some of that pissi-ness to those who held your PI in-trust (or lack thereof!)
