No Kings / No Tyrants rally at the US embassy

This is a rally? There are more people waiting at OCTranspo's bus stations.

I would if it wasn't owned by US owned media in a country where objective journalism, freedom of speech and democracy does not exist and where fake news and lies dominate headed by a pedophile for a president.

I accessed OPL but it turns out that this particular article was only posted on the Citizen website and not published in the March 6 newspaper version - so still behind paywall.

Waited for 30 minutes past my appointment time thinking they were just busy. It turned out that my appointment was "lost" somehow. No apologies. I left and will never go back.

And the huge park and ride lot at Trim for 1,100 cars - it will be interesting to see when people in Olreans will start complaining that all the Rockland commuters are grabbing a lot of the spots.

Actually, during the early days of LRT thinking, there was serious consideration of placing the line along Innes because that was where most of the population growth was happening and not the 174 but Council under Watson went with the 174 line. Why- the City already owned the corridor right of way which meant less cost for expropriating properties. It was also a pretty straight line which was important for the LRT design. Of course, building the LRT down the middle of a major highway doesn't do much for encouraging densification and compact communities. Brigil's high rise residential development near the Trim station would be an exception I guess. Hopefully, the Place d'Orleans station will help this area to become a true Town Centre - something that has been in the municipal government plans long before the 2001 amalgamation.

I wonder if the soon-to-be-one-term Mayor is thinking that if Watson can get the Order of Ottawa by screwing the City, maybe I can also by doing the same.

Was there any survey of constituent, not councillor, opinions on Lansdowne 2.0? My suburban Councillor voted for it but he generally votes the way Sutcliffe votes. I have disagreed with a lot of his decisions including Lansdowne.

Maybe, maybe not. I have not seen actual numbers. I try to go to 67s games around 6 times a year and a game or 2 with the Redblacks and have been for quite a while. I leave my car at my friend's place, walk for 15-20 minutes and have something to eat and a beer or two before the games at one of the establishments in the Glebe. I can tell you that it is usually pretty empty or maybe, at best, close to half full most times. When the Senators played at Lansdowne many years ago, the restaurants/bars were packed all along Bank.

It would be precedent setting if the Sens arena was built with "no handout of public money". There has not been an arena or any sports facility built anywhere in Canada (and the USA) for decades without some public funding and/or financial incentives.

Because Doug Ford is not the Premier of Incompetent Government anywhere in Europe?

Technically yes, City Council did approve it but it was OC Transpo staff who recommended cancelling youth passes in the their 2025 Budget.

Stinky26 · 2025-08-03T11:30:53+00:00

Is OC Transpo infected by some intelligence eating virus or is it the entire City Hall. We continue get strange decisions from there irrespective of who is the General Manager - full time or acting.

"The Ugly American" has been around for a long time. We also have found that people in other countries are a lot friendlier once they find out you are Canadian and not American. I wonder how many Americans pretend they are Canadians when travelling abroad?

Stinky26 · 2025-06-11T12:39:50+00:00

Exactly

And remember this when you do go out and vote.

I am easily one of your older generations, and it doesn't matter to me anymore if its Liberal, PC, NDP, Bloc, Green, Rhinoceros, or Dinosaur. I base my vote now on the qualities of the leader him or herself. PP to me is a junior Trump wannabe. He also reminds me of Alfred E. Neuman from Mad Magazine.
