I’m currently en route to San Diego. Upon reviewing my Cdn passport the US customs agent asked me about the purpose of my visit. When I answered “pleasure” they replied—and I’ll never forget his sinister grin or authoritarian tone—“Make sure to visit San Diego Zoo”. I feel so violated.
As this fundraiser for women fleeing violence was hosted on the two year anniversary the October 7 massacres was there any mention of the Israeli women who were bound, gagged, raped and murdered by Palestinians?
Would add the obvious, that being "resolution" of issues I documented in my OP apply exclusively to the garbage. The other signs of decay and neglect I documented are endemic of a City in an advanced state of managed decline and a population seemingly content with that fate.
Took 6 days... but success. Appreciate the levers you pulled, and along with my squeaky wheel calls to 311 it got done finally. This problem however has a repeat cycle of every few weeks for this particular location.

...in talks with the WH. Instead by blocking projects that would give tidewater access you effectively locked Canada into a continental market, where Gulf Coast refiners get our bitumen for below market price. Costing billions instead in lost revenue and thousands in jobs.
The irony of the chickens coming home to roost, tho. It was "progressive" and economically illiterate suburban and urban fools like YOU who attacked our largest and most strategically valuable export (O&G) and campaigned against tidewater access, that would've given us some added leverage...
Scenic and beautiful Ward 9 Ottawa. Come marvel at the miles of broken sidewalks with asphalt patches, gaze in wonder at our modern art installation "permanent pylons" and partake in the joy of community littering. Progress and Pride, we're Ward 9 @seandevine9.bsky.social !
I've done some of your homework already. I assume you're capable of doing your own work instead of relying others to provide for you. So sally forth, be inquisitive and consult multiple news sources.
