This is something that is not advertised enough & can save homes & lives. It's also the kind of thing that should be taught in #school & #work #safety courses, & as real life examples illustrating & making things like physics easier to understand. #Ottawa #Canada #winter #heating

With cold weather, it brings space heaters. They CANNOT be plugged into power strips or extension cords. Plug space heaters directly into the wall outlet. Power bars are not designed to handle the high current flow required by a space heater and can overheat causing a fire.

@ONenergy @IESO_Tweets Hey, nuclear is neither clean nor affordable, it's the most expensive, carcinogen-emitting & dangerous source. Cheapest & cleanest is wind, which blows night & day all across #Ontario & #Canada. Build mills & lines up North, in G. Lakes, Hudson's Bay & elsewhere ++faster. #ONpoli

@RenewablesAssoc The Great Lakes & Hudson's Bay also provide large areas w/consistent strong winds night&day, w/out risk of land conflict & far from forests & fires. Installing, transmission lines & maintenance can provide good jobs up North + clean, inexpensive energy. #canpoli @NRCan #cdnpoli

With supportive policies, innovation and rising investor interest, Canada could lead the global offshore wind market by 2030, powering the east coast and fueling green hydrogen. Read BLG energy lawyers' perspective on offshore wind opportunities in Canada.blg.com/en/insights/20…

@politics_w_sami @JohnnyCanuckCDL "JohnnyCanuck" is probably a fake account operating out of St. Petersburg. Canada has to smarten up about fighting foreign agitating & destabilizing efforts operating under cover of "free expression". Our democracy not only needs voting reform, it also needs defending. #cdnpoli

@tm_kavanagh Councillor @tm_kavanagh asks if the plan is to put the burden of the financial situation on transit riders by making further cuts. "We have to make transit as attractive as possible". Renée Amilcar says cuts will depend on the budget directions they're given.

@BrentToderian Sorry, but no, not necessarily: for many #Ottawa areas & schools it can be quite dangerous to walk or bike, particularly w/winter conditions (which can also do away w/the "healthier" part, depending on conditions & individuals). For ++ppl to do those, first safety must improve.

As our kids go #BackToSchool, never forget that we ARE the traffic that we’re using as an excuse. If they walked, biked or rode transit to school, it would erase a massive number of car trips each day, and our kids would be safer, healthier and better at school. Spread the word.

@_MarkSutcliffe @ottawacity Regardless of what this particular spill is, you need to take a real stand on the radioactive waste dump upstream. ☠️☢️ is already being trucked & gathered w/out operating license, much likely rolling thru our #Ottawa hwys! #ottnews #ottcity #ottpoli
OttawaCritic@OttawaCritic

@511ONEastern What was spilled? Anything radioactive?? It's the main road to/from Chalk River, where radioactive waste & other ☠️ ☢️ is being trucked to & piled up... Btw, how much is going thru #Ottawa Hwys? @CBCNews @CTVNationalNews @globeandmail @thenarwhalca #ottnews #cdnmedia #ottpoli

The Liberals specifically knew that doubling temporary foreign workers would suppress wages. They said so back in 2013-14. And in 2023, their government more than doubled them. /🧵
