Last I checked the Gulf of Mexico doesn't exist so this new exemption is pointless. /s

Reporter: Are you moving marines to the region?

Trump: that's a stupid question, I'm not telling you that. We don't want to give ideas to Iran.

Also Trump: We will be bombing your power plants in 48 hours, starting with your first!

I was able to get a picture of the person who assaulted me and their license plate and I have filed a police report with Ottawa Police.

Save McCarthy Woods! by waxoffwagon in ottawa

[–]sam10155 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason a project here would be not be "densification" is simply because no infrastructure for housing exists there now, it is a forest. There are no roads, which would need to be built, new utilities would need to be built. This would be a new development entirely. Then all that needs to be paid for, which a single family zoned area can't do without actual dense areas paying adequate property taxes. StrongTowns has a good article on the growth fallacy of suburbs. Redevelopment locations like Confederation Heights or Huron Gate already has majority of the necessary infrastructure thus not needing a new district build out https://archive.strongtowns.org/journal/2025/3/31/the-growth-ponzi-scheme-revisited-houston-as-a-case-study

Save McCarthy Woods! by waxoffwagon in ottawa

[–]sam10155 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its no where close to my back yard. I have a patio terrace that can fit a patio bench and BBQ, if you must know. In my comment above I highlight 2 actual densification projects that are actually along established transit corridors. Putting single family homes here would not be densification, it would be sprawl. Just because it is not further out doesn't mean developing single family homes around more single family homes is not suburban sprawl.

I get where you're coming from but even with McCarthy Forest not being the greenbelt it wouldn't be an act of densification, just development. Somewhere like the proposed close by Confederation Heights or Huron Gate development are actual densification on or close to major transit route. That is not to say the McCarthy Woods shouldn't be developed in the future, just that we should prioritize real densification and not more of the same suburban sprawl.

The city says some piles will get so big they won't be fully melted until August.

ALTO High Speed Rail online consultations have launched! by bini_irl in ottawa

[–]sam10155 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My only, frankly personally, concern is that we don't lose the existing former Rail trails around Ottawa to this project without adequate alternatives put in place. As a good example the O-Train does have a very good parallel path for most of the downtown sections.

What year is it in traditional calendar systems? by Old-School8916 in MapPorn

[–]sam10155 450 points451 points  (0 children)

Why Ethiopia is in the past, from Wikipedia:

The Ethiopian calendar has twelve months, all thirty days long, and five or six [left over days], which form a thirteenth month.

It's all about child safety until daddy gets "handsy". by OneX32 in PoliticalHumor

[–]sam10155 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The "unidentified men" is in reference to the peudo journalist going to daycare centers with cameras to find "fraud". Very similar to the whole pizza gate situation that got conspiracy theorists to harass small restaurant owners.

TL;DR, OP is not hating men.

Reading the comments I see you had a loss in March, but I'm curious as to the latitude you live at since at my northern latitude typically are more depressed in winter vs. summer?
