Seriously? How is this landmark? City needs to stop changing its plans to allow loopholes and permits for more $$$ for developers. @ottawacity needs to maintain neighborhoods, not just do bidding of developers. At least double allowable height?!!

NOUVEAU : « Il faut faire plus », reconnaît le gouvernement de Justin Trudeau, deux jours après la diffusion de notre reportage sur la crise des surdoses et de l’itinérance dans la capitale canadienne. Un problème qui touche plus ou moins toutes les grandes villes du pays.
Extraits de la déclaration du cabinet de la ministre de la Santé mentale et des Dépendances, Ya’ara Saks :
« Notre gouvernement continuera à utiliser tous les outils à sa disposition pour travailler avec ses partenaires afin de mettre fin à cette crise nationale de santé publique, tout en veillant à ce que nos communautés restent sûres. Cela signifie également qu'il faut intensifier ensemble les investissements dans les soins de santé et le logement.
Nous continuerons à travailler en partenariat avec les parties prenantes, les personnes ayant une expérience vécue et vivante, les experts et les communautés Autochtones, afin de promouvoir des approches qui amélioreront la santé et la sécurité publiques et mettront fin à cette tragédie. Il faut faire plus, et nous travaillerons sans relâche pour aider les Canadiens » #polcan #canpoli #ottawa
Police investigating incident near Rideau Canal and NAC over August long weekend ottawa.citynews.ca/2023/08/0…
Who is supposed to be weeding/cutting weeds on this stretch, planted by Rideau Transit Group along LRT at King Edward off ramp from 417W? Many trees already choked to death. @PlanteSteph613 @ottawacity @ASH_ACS
SHIMADA #WorldJFigure @SkateOntario @SkateCanada Amazing jumps! Too bad we have lost footwork & other elements (0.5 sec Ina Bauer? Hold it!) It’s called “Figure skating,” not “Jump skating”. Maybe create a new sport? #olympics youtube.com/watch?v=J1OQwpEW…
An amazing show. A must-see !
Missed out on last week’s performances? I Forgive You is playing four more nights at the NAC this week!

@ASH_ACS @DandyYOWSeen @MathieuFleury FYI! Family Picnic in Strathcona Park on Friday. Hopefully won’t get permit. But if so, be aware & call @OttawaBylaw or @OttawaPolice if see illegal activity! ottawa.ctvnews.ca/ottawa-ask…
woman has a safety message for cyclists and pedestrians. @ottawacity cyclists complain of motorists vs them; but many need to be careful of them vs pedestrians. Seen many almost run over peds at stops. All must share & be respectful! cbc.ca/news/canada/london/af…
OMG! NOT AGAIN!
Why are @OttawaPolice actively working and communicating with people who are planning on occupying our city for a second time?
If it wasn't obvious to you already - the police don't care about you or your neighbours.

@ConsumerSOS Please get this out there. @fordnation is redirecting federal Covid supports to his sleazy re-election campaign.

Citizens doing what the police can’t. @judyatrinh @glen_mcgregor #RamRanchResistance @FossGregfoss @JLeiper @ShawnMenard1 @cmckenney
What is with the @OttawaPolice poster?! Their role is to enforce the law! And ensure the safety of the residents of @ottawacity @cmckenney @JimWatsonOttawa
My husband had booked an appointment, but had to wait over 2 hrs to get it! Why allow drop-ins when people have booked and the bookings are full!?! @HealthOttawa @ctvottawa ottawa.ctvnews.ca/mobile/no-…
Also, drop ins go in with almost no wait, while those with appointments wait for 2 hrs? @VeraEtches
If we can’t turn right on the red coming from Daly onto Colonel By near the Westin, why can’t there be a right turn arrow for us when those on Colonel By have a forced left turn onto Daly? @MathieuFleury @ottawacity @cmckenney
Take a listen to these beautiful poems from Sandy Hill residents reflecting on the pandemic experience. Wonderful project! They are accepting more submissions. Please share out to others @MathieuFleury @DandyYOWSeen @ASH_ACS sandyhillpoetrypro.wixsite.c…
