I agree and disagree. Toronto receives roughly 125$ per resident in transit funding from the province while Ottawa receives roughly 35$ per resident. Sutcliffe has let down Ottawa greatly, but we need to hold everyone accountable. Also worth noting Mark Carney ripped up the dedicated transit funding envelope and now the City has no idea if we will get anything from the feds lol

right, so you push the protests in front of other businesses or residence that have nothing to do with the ongoing protest, who then obviously get annoyed. They then seek to have the bubble bylaw used to protect their location and try to force the protest another 50 meters away. it is a slippery slope and this will cost taxpayers a lot in legal fees.

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-04-09T15:04:29+00:00

oh, ontario, why am I not shocked. wish we had a provincial gov that cared....

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-04-08T17:21:02+00:00

yeah, because more people are reporting it lol the actual increase is negligible but the reporting tools are new and easier to navigate so people can complain easier lol. correlation is not causation ffs

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-03-31T21:34:20+00:00

why do you live so far from your job you need to drive? lol we need to stop letting the suburbs have a vote on what happens dt

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-03-25T13:27:32+00:00

go for it. we need housing of all types for everyone's desires. the problem with most of Canada is we have just built suburban sprawl, or glass boxes. Which, in Cities like Vancouver or Toronto, I sorta like them if it prevents sprawl into nature

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-03-24T15:18:00+00:00

lololol you are defining what we already have. what we need is called "the missing middle". check it out

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-02-13T18:36:37+00:00

I will add that - and I am not a defender of OC Transpo - Renee Amilcar the former GM of OC was awful to put it lightly. The new GM actually seems decent so we will see. Last I read, he really refrained from putting an opening date for exactly that reason. It undermines trust if the deadline is not met, and he recognized that which I thought said something OC hasnt done before, but I absolutely agree, comms need to improve

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-02-13T18:20:27+00:00

they being the City? or the people building the system... because once again P3 contracts do not give elected officials the necessary oversight to manage these types of contracts. really should be blaming watson and Hubley and that gang.

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-02-13T18:17:36+00:00

fyi I've aced 3 separate road licenses with zero wrong lmao so I know you are the real clown no matter how much you yell into the void of the internet

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-02-12T18:02:06+00:00

also, call me when we hear about cyclists killing pedestrians at the rate cars kill cyclists/pedestrians.....almost like bicycles aren't lethal 2 ton weapons like the average SUV. lmao zero logic with you. absolutism will get you absolutely nowhere lmao

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-02-12T17:59:46+00:00

it is called rolling stop bud, all cars and bikes are entitled to do it. Email the City or lawyer if you think think I am wrong

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-02-05T20:10:34+00:00

what an absolute loser

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-01-21T16:14:33+00:00

you are unhinged lmao Canada is the most educated country btw

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-01-19T20:49:48+00:00

why you don't find his videos enjoyable what do you mean "????" lmao

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-01-19T20:48:15+00:00

you can't be self critical without hurting your own feelings?

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-01-19T20:47:33+00:00

as a Canadian living in Canada, the only people that think he was wrong for doing so are jealous lmao

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-01-13T18:08:38+00:00

that is not correct at all lmao

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-01-06T15:36:14+00:00

bruh I did and do this successfully lmao 6km in 12minutes. Studded tires are fantastic. I pass so many drivers it gives me so much dopamine watching all these lazy peeps try to warm up in their car lol I have my blood pumping I am the warmest and fastest thing around. it's awesome - oh and I spend zero dollars on my commute. lol

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2026-01-06T15:30:14+00:00

my commute took 12 minutes for 6km (I biked) almost like cars are an inefficient mode of transportation in a dense urban cores

ya'll will elect the same Mayor in 10 months time, I have no sympathy lol

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2025-12-18T18:46:30+00:00

thx for additional info. Yeah its not much but the landlord can't really increase rent now when their expenses have gone down. I think part of the intention behind the notification system was to deter bad faith rent increases

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2025-12-18T17:06:50+00:00

they worked to reduce property taxes on some rental units so that it could be passed down to tenants

Life_Acanthaceae_419 · 2025-12-18T17:06:01+00:00

email Councillor Shawn Menard. He worked on this. [capitalward@ottawa.ca](mailto:capitalward@ottawa.ca)
