There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Voting is harm reduction. We do not vote for perfection but for progress, step by step. If you have to pinch your nose while you do it, then do it. But "They all suck" is defeatist BS that only benefits the worst people in politics.

Kevin O'Leary to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social on Cross Country Checkup, rough quote: "The Canadian dollar has dropped 40% against the US dollar under Trudeau." Fact check: the CAD has dropped 34% from the 2011 peak, but just 4% of that drop happened under Trudeau. The big drop happened under Harper.

As a member of #ottbike I’m anxious for all the ❄️ and 🥶 to go away…but having the full length of the Canal open for so long has been a real treat. Bravo to Mother Nature, @NCC_CCN and the @NCC_Skateway crew for an amazing season. And yes, it was great for my 🏃‍♂️s!

The cellblock at the Ottawa courthouse is looking for donations of winter gear for formerly incarcerated people who are often released with nothing but the shirts on their backs. You can drop donations at the courthouse at 161 Elgin, to the attention of Sheri.

It’s frustrating when the real estate and development industries advocate for lower development fees without advocating for something better to replace them: either new taxing powers for municipalities or higher property taxes. Growth is not paying for growth. ottawacitizen.com/opinion/otta...

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Update | The Kichi Zībī Mīkan between Carling Avenue and Island Park Drive has reopened. I am posting this because the NCC does not seem to be on this social media platform.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

I’m having great difficulty right now seeing how our political system doesn’t devolve into violence.

Happy 🇨🇦 Flag Day! Especially to the patriotic photobombing ⛄️ who gave me an extra spring in my step for this afternoon long 🧊 🏃‍♂️.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Went out for a 🏃‍♂️…it was quite the slogfest including this incomprehensible section of Sussex where the plow operator at some point decided…nope…not gonna clear this section of the bridge 🤷‍♂️. I’d love to know why this 50m stretch couldn’t be cleared.

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

Was at the Igloofest finale last night in Montreal and my impeccably dressed enterprising raver colleagues found a delightful alternative to the slushy steps ❄️ 💪🏼 🤘🏼

Just saying, I don’t think I’ve experienced a perfect Winterlude day like today in DECADES. The Canal is packed and the ice couldn’t be more perfect for ⛸️ and 🏃‍♂️.

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Begging drivers to understand: when it's snowy like this, the edge of the road is unpredictable for a biker, so I need to be further out in the lane, and also I might need to move out to avoid some snow ridges or some shit so kindly give me the actual space to be safe and stop trying to lane split
