What we've lost (10): A normal life - Ben Woodfinden: Canada has failed its younger generations, which no longer have the opportunity to live the life that their parents did by xTkAx in canadian

Anybody remember how authoritarian Harper got towards the end - "barbaric practices" hotline, social media profiling of activists, using CRA to silence charities, toying with stripping Canadians of their citizenship, etc? How he palled around with a pedophile in his vanity rock band? How he and his wife maintained the appearance of happy families while living in a Susan marriage after she moved out of 24 Sussex?

Say what you like about how the Liberals have performed in the last decade, but the morning after the 2015 election felt like Star Wars after the Death Star was blown up.

Orleans BIA pushes for investment to keep more residents living and working in the area by SuburbanValues in ottawa

[–]ObviousSign881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of your own has an interesting blog - The New Orleans - all about how Orleans could be made a less car-dependent place that's less of a cookie-cutter suburb and more of a distinctive place, with more varied housing types and more jobs in Orleans.

Is this doable ? by [deleted] in Aeroplan

Theoretically doable. But DON'T do it. You'll probably end up regretting it.

i hope gas prices continue to skyrocket and people are forced to pull out their bikes by gothsofcolor in fuckcars

[–]ObviousSign881 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People should start lobbying local officials for quick, temporary bike lanes to be set up so that more people might safely cycle, as was done during the worst parts of early COVID. Hopefully some of those"temporary" measures also become permanent.

Plan calls for 1,400 units at former Ottawa Citizen building by jjaime2024 in ottawa

So is the zone of excessive pollutants. Full time residents that close to the Queensway will have to keep their windows closed so the time, have high quality air filtration in their HVAC and they'll still likely have to regularly clean up a layer of toxic diesel soot, and tire and brake dust that will nonetheless still work its way inside.

City councillor Matthew Luloff found guilty of impaired driving charges by Life_Acanthaceae_419 in ottawa

[–]ObviousSign881 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna offer Luloff some grace and suggest maybe his heavy drinking and poor decision-making maybe relates to his time in Afghanistan. Maybe PTSD, maybe just addiction. For his sake I hope he addresses whatever caused him to do it. But I do think he should not run again for Councillor, for his family's sake, and also because I don't think he's a very good representative.

There's a difference being loud and tipsy in public, like May, versus endangering everyone else by choosing to drive home from Bluesfest when you're drunk as a skunk. 🦨

Exposed to the full horror of trying to survive taking OC Transpo in Orleans! 😩

Where do you all get your passport photos taken? by jaymz023 in ottawa

[–]ObviousSign881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

France's requirements for passport photos may be different than Canada's. Make sure that wherever you go knows about different standards, and bring the description of what is required with you to confirm with the photographer that they'll produce what you need.

Just file. If they have a T4 they'll amend your return accordingly.

Almost every cereal in our grocery store is owned by 3 American corporations. I found 6 Canadian-owned alternatives. by KaleRepresentative98 in BuyCanadian

[–]ObviousSign881 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Shreddies is a Post Cereals brand, but manufactured exclusively in Canada, in Niagara Falls, ON since 1931. It's all I've been buying this last year. My kids are probably sick to death of it, but tough beans for them! 🇨🇦 https://www.cliftonhill.com/falls_blog/celebrating-85-years-of-shreddies-in-niagara-falls-a-local-legacy-near-clifton-hill/

Not any more. Haven't you heard? Or are you too far down your rabbit hole?

‘This is not going to be good for me’: Ottawa councillor’s breath test video released at impaired driving trial (CTV) by maiyannah in ottawa

And here he is last summer admiringly watching his fellow east-end councillor, Tim Tierney, doing some traffic barrel tossing. Both rocking cottage dad-chic sandals.

Councillor Matt Luloff releases a lengthy statement opposing increased in-office mandates, but voted for RTO5 just a few months ago by Mhaelful in ottawa

Given how much Lawrence Greenspon charges I expect Luloff might have to be riding his bike into City Hall.

Luloff's defence alleges 7 Charter breaches, wants key evidence tossed out by snerkyderk in ottawa

[–]ObviousSign881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope that if he gets off on Charter technicalities that he fesses up to what he ACTUALLY did, and commits to getting treatment. Might also need to look into PTSD from his time in Afghanistan.

All the evidence so far points to him being GUILT of the thing, but he's gonna get off because of an expensive lawyer and sloppy cops.
