MAJOR LIFE UPDATE - for the remainder of the strike @StephenAtHome, @JimmyFallon, @SethMeyers, @IamJohnOliver & I are joining forces for a new podcast called @StrikeForceFive. Hear the first episode tomorrow 8/30. ALL proceeds (thanks to @Casamigos and @MintMobile) go to support our out of work staffs. Listen now - bit.ly/44tflxq @SpotifyPodcasts

@CalltoActivism I can't verify if his numbers are correct or not, but someone who is fat can weigh the same as someone who is muscular and look very different.

Here’s an incomplete list of athletes with the same height and weight as Donald Trump who said he was 6’3 and 215 Pounds. A thread. 🧵 First up is quarterback Aaron Rodgers who is 6’2, 223 pounds.

@Ottawa_Traffic This is ridiculous.

Correction: Chief William Commanda Bridge closed - construction. Until end of August. #otttraffic

Hey @OC_Transpo @OC_TranspoHelps , tomorrow is August. Any chance you're renewing July monthly passes for free?

@DvdHam This pool had a summer camp too, where presumably they teach kids to swim. Much better option than the mad race to get kids into indoor winter lessons in Ottawa.

On my run this morning, happened past one of the SEVEN outdoor pools that are centrally located in Hull.

@Lloyd_E_M I went a bit closer tonight.

@ethicalthinker I got this shot on July 14 when I ran by the Gatineau end of the bridge.

Oooh...there are fences going up right now to fill these gaps. They look like temporary fences, not a permanent solution. But hopefully enough to open the bridge? #ottbike #ottwalk

@trbouma Feel better soon! Hope the bike is fixable.

@trbouma Oh...I thought this was the latest NCC art piece.

Tire mishap.

@CWhitzman Oh yay!!

@NCC_GatPark Also SHUTTLE!

Heading to Gatineau Park this weekend? Guess who had the exact.same.idea? (everyone, the answer is everyone) 🅿 Parking lots fill up early, have a plan B in mind ⛔ Sector or parking lot closures are possible 🤝Carpool! Discover a less crowded area: ncc-ccn.gc.ca/blog/hiking-a-…

@Asta_de_B I have lived and travelled a lot in Europe. They have every variation of mixing pedestrians, cyclists and motor vehicles depending on the space available. There are many, many places with marked cycle tracks on a sidewalk.

@ethicalthinker Bicycle traffic lights are also very common in EUR giving bikes a head start at intersections. Same as advance green for pedestrians. It's not rocket science. You literally just have to look across the pond.

Joel le Pole is no longer in the bike path #ottbike

@Asta_de_B What is a better solution? Do you have examples of intersections with cars/transit, bikes and pedestrians that are a better design?

@ethicalthinker Honestly.... whoever designed this (before and after) needs to re-evalue their career choice. Pedestrians and bikes will have to battle it out because god forbid cars are being inconvenienced.

@wirecrats @ArielTroster @NCC_CCN I walked past Entrance Pool in Bells Corners last weekend and was surprised how little space it took up. Not Olympic size, but there are two pools in a small space. goo.gl/maps/tGJUc9ryN…

@ArielTroster @ethicalthinker @NCC_CCN Thanks Ariel. I appreciate the responses. This will make a difference for families in the neighbourhood. I have seen the joy that outdoor pools bring in poor neighbourhoods in Toronto. Our neighbours deserve the same. I’m sure there is space what we need is the will.

It would be really nice to have an outdoor Olympic sized swimming pool at LeBreton Flats. #dreaming #ottawa @NCC_CCN

@parent_ontario @NCC_CCN I also feel like the more pools you have, the more lifeguards you get. The pools I hung out at when I was a teen trained more lifeguards than they could absorb as staff.

@ethicalthinker @NCC_CCN Love the idea, but curious - how would it be better than our indoor pool? Exposure to elements, can't use during rain etc., and wouldn't we have the same problem of lifeguard shortage?

@parent_ontario @NCC_CCN Personally, I'm not a fan of indoor pools. I enjoy swimming to cool off when it is hot outside, but still like being outdoors. You can use it in the rain, just doesn't have quite the same appeal as a sunny day. 🙂

@ArielTroster @NCC_CCN I feel like that is an obstacle that could be overcome with either soil remediation or doing something to ensure the toxic soil isn't leaching into the pool water. But I'm not an engineer.

@ArielTroster @NCC_CCN And? Was it a flat out no? Or ...?
