Born and raised in Ottawa. Supporting active transportation, transit and smart development. I fear for the planet.
this moment in Canadian politics reminds me of Mulroney finding out the consequences of stocking his cabinet with Quebec separatists.

Something that doesn't violate Bill 60: modal filters. They make the entire street much safer to bike on without actually removing any motor-vehicle lanes. Use them more!
Also, putting a contra-flow lane on Percy Street won't violate Bill 60 either. Combine that with modal filters and: fietsstraat🤩

Not the same fan experience, but the Canadian Olympic curling trials currently being played in Halifax makes for some compelling sports TV viewing as well.

As tradespeople, we have transferable skills.
We can do the exact same work we do on pipelines and O&G facilities at hydro dams, nuclear plants, on windmills and at solar farms.
Give me some work where I don't have to compromise my ethics to make a living.

It’s one more reason that I’m advocate for a re-think of Ottawa’stransportation plans, centred around the transformation of CN Rail’s Beachburg Corridor into a major east-west transit corridor connecting our city’s strategic centres and intersecting existing transit lines. 3/
