Be a friend we're all in this together!
One way or another we will beat this, as long as we can stay respectful and united together.
If we give in to the chaos of this circus, it will be extraordinarily hard to stop the change.
Support each other and endure.

I think this weekend I'm going to migrate over Occasional to the new server. After 7 years of paying Bezos/Amazon I'll be finally free! 1.9k to run that website for the last 7 years.
Now I can finally do cool, computationally expensive stuff.
That said. Any features anyone been wanting?

The most pressing matters of our time. A manufactured problem, to appease 1 group from the 4 listed. Which he is going to rail road like Lansdowne.
Sutcliffe: “In a few months we’ll be considering a new bylaw to protect religious and cultural spaces, hospitals, schools, retirement centres. From protests that harass residents.”

Offloading the LRT saves us money, but distances and muddles our chances at any form of accountability. Just ask Toronto how great the Ontario Government is.
It is starting to feel that people might just want to get the lead anchor off ones neck.

It's tough to overstate just how bad the vibes are among OC Transpo users right now - you can feel the frustration, distrust, and exhaustion on the station platform.
Stopped train on Line 1 disrupts commute as service runs at reduced capacity
Stopped train on Line 1 disrupts commute as service runs at reduced capacity
Platforms on parts of O-Train Line 1 were packed with passengers after a stopped train disrupted the afternoon commute on the light rail line that is already operating at reduced capacity due to another issue.

Its ironic that this same headline was said about horse, horse and carriage, then the advent of cars - as the massive amount of pedestrian deaths followed in each of their wakes.
Now as air travel becomes more privately accessible, death comes to stalk the land again.

@helps.octranspo.com please be sure to answer this question. As @octranspo.com knows, Route 82 ranks in the bottom 5 of all routes when it comes to service delivery. Its riders deserve more info.
Hi @helps.octranspo.com
Is there a reason the 82 isn't being tracked on the Departures board at all at Tunney's Pasture?

A reminder of this great (at least I think so) pulse of the city feed.
I did a little pruning of a few people that don't post anything related to Ottawa, or post with extreme frequency.
It's open to all from #Ottawa but I'm trying to keep it useful as "the pulse"

There's no way we're retaining people with this level of service @glengower.ca - OC reliability numbers are fairly meaningless if we subject people to traumatic experiences.
We can shrug it off, but those that experience it, have it burned into memory. It's not soon forgiven or forgotten.

Well they said the train coming into parliament was out of service, but it's full so we got on. Now it's sitting. More getting on. Sign says next train is only to Lyon station. The next two 12s are cancelled. And my sister said two 11 in a row also cancelled.

As I routinely say, the over 45k Canadians that died in World War II, or the over 407k Americans - didn't die so fascism could come home and roost. We must all do our part to ensure it has no home.
