@cbcottawa_mirror this is a ridiculous headline.

Pedestrians don't have fatal collisions.

This person was struck and killed by a motor vehicle which was ostensibly under the "control" of another person.

First segment of #Canada 's Alto High-Speed Rail line is going to connect #Ottawa and #Montreal.

The route is straight, flat, and connects 2 cities with a combined population of 6 million.

There are lots of level crossings, like the one in this video (showing not a high-speed train, of course, but a current Siemens trainset)...

Pilots not enjoying our weather today, I'd wager.

Careful out there everybody. I just got back from running an errand and nasty is the correct word to use.

Totally behind this petition to swap beet brine for road salt in winter — it’s a far friendlier choice for our waterways, soil, pets and cars. If we can reduce environmental harm with smarter winter maintenance, let’s do it. 🍁🌱

I saw the people putting up these posters today. Apparently there are six different versions. I told them good job. #Ottawa

“We whittled it down to seven themes so there would be juxtapositions and dialogue that ultimately would make our visitors think about winter in a different way.”

Frosty barbs on the fence from freezing fog in #ottawa

Frosty barbs on the fence from freezing fog in #ottawa

Now that the Ford govt is directly running the OCDSB with a "supervisor" instead of trustees, and replaced the director of education, they are pushing Google Gemini into schools. "AI resources for students" is at the top of the resource list in today's communication from the OCDSB.

https://www.ocdsb.ca/news-events/news/post/new-ai-resources-for-students

Of course, I have no way of complaining as a parent, since there is no trustee, and the director of Ed and Supervisor will hide like the fucking partisan PC cowards they are

Have I mentioned how much I love the #Ottawa Mastodon community? Cause I do. Early birb site vibes, but it’s November 2025.

That’s it. That’s my review.

Hey Ontario! You've heard of the disastrous Ford bill to destroy tenant rights, but did you know that Omnibus Bill 60 would entirely wipe out the ability of cities to right-size their roads by reducing lanes _at all_, not even just for bike lanes?

If you care about fewer people dying on Ontario roads, the environment and transit, or even just getting where you want to go efficiently (more lanes doesn't mean better traffic flow! Often, exactly the opposite via induced demand), you should care about this provision.

A friend called Ford's office this morning and the staffer answering didn't have any idea what provision they were referring to - that means not nearly enough people know about this proposal and are making it known that this is unacceptable.

Give your MPs and Ford's office a call, eh about Bill 60's threat to municipal control over their streets and transportation infrastructure, eh?
