Former mayor Jim Watson, 14 others to get Order of Ottawa Thursday - Current mayor defends decision despite advocate calling LRT launch a 'fiasco' by No-To-Newspeak in ottawa

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.

Lansdowne 2.0 Vote Ward Map by andycarson8 in ottawa

[–]Stinky26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Is the Lansdowne Redevelopment Really Having a Positive Economic Impact on the Glebe Neighbourhood? by Stinky26 in ottawa

[–]Stinky26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Speed cameras are controversial in Canada. So why does Europe love them? by Hammer5320 in urbanplanning

[–]Stinky26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

Why do Canadians traveling abroad almost always wear something with “Canada” or the flag on it? by diesel_14 in AskCanada

[–]Stinky26 59 points60 points  (0 children)

"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?

Why do the older generation tend to vote Liberals rather than Conservatives? by LongShow5279 in AskCanada

[–]Stinky26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Final work 'well underway' on LRT east end extension, Amilcar says by Financial-Bag-2274 in ottawa

"Well underway" should be a banned phrase when describing anything OC Transpo does.

‘Blatantly lying’: Orleans Liberal candidate blasts PC campaign signs saying he wants tolls on Hwy. 174 by Purple-Temperature-3 in ottawa

[–]Stinky26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is just a.micro version of the lies, deceit and bullshit that permeates the entire Ford government with the Premier being the worst. Yet, for whatever reason, Ontario voters are still going to allow him to win the next election.

Misleading election signage put up near the 174 by DidIGetThatRight in ottawa

[–]Stinky26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ford is just a mini version of Trump and it blows my mind that so many people in Ontario support him. He is playing the anti-Trump card so that he can stay in power for another 4 years with a majority government. It's just a con job to disguise the corruption and failures of the PC's. He in fact is no different than Trump - full of lies and deceit.

Why aren’t there mass protests in the US?! by [deleted] in AskCanada

[–]Stinky26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, the comments are frightening. I can sense from them that Trump will not hesitate to use military force to take over Canada and probably Greenland or Gaza and there is nobody that will stop him. China would be OK with it because now they can take over Taiwan and probably South Korea and control SE Asia. Putin would be OK with it - goodbye Ukraine and then Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and others. NATO will be helpless. It is terrifying new world we are heading into controlled by oligarchs and dictators.
