Absolutely gutted. #Lansdowne
All this money being spent to bailout the rich while OC Transpo is cutting routes and a record number of people sleep outside in #Ottawa each night. How is this responsible spending? It's not even ethical.

BREAKING: “It was a mistake to open the Greenbelt,” Premier Doug Ford said, adding that the land opened to development would be returned to the protected area — which he says he will never touch again. #onpoli via @EmmaMci @fatimabsyed thenarwhal.ca/ford-reverses-…

Ontario Auditor General Bonnie Lysyk just dropped an explosive 95-page audit of the Ford government’s decision to open huge swaths of Greenbelt land to development. Turns out, developers influenced those cuts — and non-elected political staff led the way. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-greenb…

“Student charged in University of Waterloo stabbing police say was hate-motivated”
This is the consequence of rising anti-trans hate. This is the consequence mainstreaming anti-trans rhetoric.

Trees. Mature trees. Beautiful, carbon-absorbing trees. Cut down by the City. For a parking lot. This is Ottawa in 2022. Not so green or climate conscious. Makes me sad and angry. Think about who has supported Watson in these decisions.

We are closing early tonight (Friday) at 6:30pm and staying closed over the weekend until Wednesday Feb 9th🤞. One of our staff was physically assaulted on their way to work today, blocked on the sidewalk by two men and shoved to the ground for wearing a mask.

"my solution is stop trying to claw my way back to life before or to buy into the belief that aging is a collection of achievements I’ve yet to make. Instead, I will give myself the luxury of dipping back into what I thought being a grown-up once was" @annetdonahue is so good

Isn't there a state of emergency in BC? Isn't @JustinTrudeau @BillBlair sending military to help rescue people in BC? Why is @rcmpgrcpolice sending deployment of armed RCMP to forcibly remove Indigenous peoples fr territories in violation of Indig, BC, Cdn, & int'l laws? #cdnpoli
Roughly 50 RCMP officers moved into #Wetsuweten @Gidimten Clan territory today, arresting 15 people. One person, a journalist, was released without conditions. Story to come in @TheTyee. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

In the middle of a climate emergency, as highways & roads are being washed away & entire communities are being flooded and evacuated, the Province has chosen to send busloads of police to criminalize Wet'suwet'en water protectors and to work as a mercenary force for oil and gas.

Since we want to lie to the public. This is how the surveys and budget consultations went. This is a screenshot taken from the @OttawaPolice and OPSB consultations. This is how bias information is gathered to legitimize policing presence and strategies. 1/2
NEW: As community members and some councillors call on Ottawa police to freeze spending in 2022, a new survey suggests a majority of Ottawa residents want to increase funding for the police service next year. #ottnews

statistically speaking what percentage of the CEOs and heads of state making net-zero by 2050 pledges will be dead by 2050

I actually really encourage settlers to donate whatever they make on the 30th from their paid holiday to Indigenous groups in their area if you can afford it. Why is it that you get a paid holiday while our families still grieve our loss of languages, culture and family?

Normal people are not watching the transit commission meeting. Talk to your friends and family about the Watson Club. They may have heard the LRT is bad. But they don't know that Jim did this to us. Help them to know.

Wow -- about 20% of housing stock in Canada is owned by large corporate holdings (like REITs). 20% of Canadians' landlords are a corporation. God that is such a crisis.

Heron Gate's new 'social contract' between the developer and city promises 20% of the new units will be affordable housing.
But the developer's definition of affordable is based on city-wide median income, currently at $109,500.
