SPOILER: This stretch of Bank is in desperate need of attention however this paltry initiative - as well meaning as it may be - will ultimately result in no noticeable improvements. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I really like the dock idea but I don’t care how many tests they do, you won’t catch me swimming in Dows Lake 🤢 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This required a study?

BREAKING: HAHAHAHA

Chancellor Merz for the win and a spat has kicked off between Trump & Musk. All and all another great Oval Office press availability I’d say!

A lot of Redblacks fans at Landsdowne about to get soaked.

Prove that you are making maximum use of available land *within* the urban boundary before expanding out. The City of Ottawa's addiction to sprawl and it's refusal to raise taxes to pay for and maintain the services and infrastructure for said sprawl is unmanageable. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

UPDATE - the comically narrow strips of grass along Somerset Street’s new sidewalk have disappeared! Looks like it’ll be bricks instead? This sidewalk renewal plan seems a bit … inefficient …

Meanwhile over on Sparks Street, some absolutely horrifying scenes for the tourists to have to process. A goose with a blue human hand? - no thank you!

Should've never built so many tiny floorplans in the first place. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

To be clear: Assaulting police officers and destroying property on January 6? Totally fine. Pardon them all. Showing up at an ICE Facility to demand due process? Criminal. The Republican Party is irrevocably broken. Vote all these idiots out.

New rule: a psychological examination is required before you are able to get your driver’s license. This examination also needs to be completed each time the license comes up for renewal.

These tiny strips of grass on the Somerset sidewalk renewal project are an insane choice. Its’s going to look like this for exactly 30 seconds before it turns to mud. Maybe plant some trees instead?

Excited that the Charge have reached the finals but frustrated getting home from Landsdowne is a nightmare? Blame this guy ⬇️

Kiweki Point (finally) opens today!

Convince me this isn’t the same opening riff … 18th Dye (1995) ⬇️ vs Arcade Fire Pink Elephant (2025) in the reply (also guess Arcade Fire just be pushing through the Win Butler sexual misconduct accusations?) open.spotify.com/track/4I9k0B...

This is Lollipop. She loves to play with toy balls just like any other dog, just happens to do it on hard mode. 14/10

On the Patreon AND Eastern time zone so listening to the latest Pappy’s Slamdown with #JoeSutherland and @dankackroyd.bsky.social (May the 6th be with you 😎) while all the UK folks be sleeping.
