@mchkzn @Rvguy18 This is a tough one for me. Can’t vote for a mayor who knows we lost appx 180 million on Lansdowne & doubled down with 400* million. Lei per has a vote record but do n’t know his vision. The other two so far no history although Neil has a POV good/bad who knows.

@Rvguy18 Don’t forget, we’re all going to be judged on whether we’re good people or bad people, based on which candidate(s) we’re supporting. Because apparently that says everything about who you are.

Municipal elections just started and the comments are so entertaining. Get the vote out and make changes Ottawa. Our city needs to be saved!

@patterballs Awesome! Ticket scalping is one thing - government transport scalping FU

The Scots have already won the World Cup for frugality (again)…

@ProjectPearson @MickeyDjuric Slogans whining & false facts. If there was an election today CPC might lose party status! Your strategy hasn’t worked since Harper 1.0 change it up

@MickeyDjuric If you think that’s a story, I have a story about Peter Mackay and Stephen Harper building a new Conservative Party

The Conservative Party is casting doubt on the legitimacy of Mark Carney’s majority government, complaining it was formed through “backroom deals” and not at the ballot box. politico.com/news/2026/04/1…

If there is one crucial lesson to learn from Hungary, it is this: You cannot defeat an authoritarian populist with a fragmented opposition. If you want to win, you must swallow your pride and unite behind a single candidate

@PaulChampLaw I assume the OPP & RCMP have the cell phone logs plus a greenbelt investigation. Yet no uptades… charges convictions

Wow. Ford is really afraid of something in those cell phone logs. What is it?

@mchkzn One of my pet peeves! Genuinely easy going driver let people in. Stop & let someone turn in heavy traffic BUT if driver on advanced turn it’s 2 seconds then a honk!

It would be nice if drivers at the stop line got off their phone when the left green turn arrow comes on. It would also be nice if they got off their phone before the arrow turns red again, and not make everyone behind to miss the light and wait a whole cycle for the green.

@EvanHPotter @VoiceOfFranky @LeiperOttawa @KenGray @JCHIANELLO @Charlie_Senack @DavidColetto Where is anyone on transit? It is FU’d yet no solutions

Where is @LeiperOttawa on #ottawa transit? @KenGray says: “Leiper should be driving this transit issue home. But all he is really driving is his car on weekends.” Not a cheap shot. I explain. @JCHIANELLO @Charlie_Senack @VoiceOfFranky @DavidColetto @evanhpotter/note/c-242820422?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=2jt6tt" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@evanhpotter/n…

@jackrichrdson Been to 26 arenas as I worked in USA alot. Islanders had the best hecklers-for the opposing team & their own team. It was Peca & Yashin bobble head night. Yes I am that old! Was in Anaheim with my son & saw the Ducks raise the cup…

Just understood what it’s like to be in an opposing barn with textbook Travis Green hockey and it’s special. Isles got booed off the ice in the 1st.

@KristinRaworth Proportional representation is high on my list! Floor crossing - meh

Call me old fashioned but I think you should get a mandate for a majority government from Canadians voters, not floor crossing.

@macrurdn @RobertGKepes @acoyne @MarcLevesqueEco Welcome to the Trump 2.0 Don’t let Israel off the hook!

@RobertGKepes @acoyne @MarcLevesqueEco And that's relevant how exactly? Iran is in a stronger position than before.. The United States is in a weaker position. The Western Alliance is in shatters meanwhile Russia and China are exerting power. It's a fking disaster.

So after all this: - The Iranian regime remains in place - The enriched uranium remains in place - Iran remains in control of the Strait of Hormuz, though it agrees to let ships through, for now - The US agrees to talks based on Iran’s terms, including an end to all sanctions and Iran gets to charge $2 million a ship for passage through the Strait, in perpetuity. - Meanwhile NATO is in ruins, the US and Israel are at odds, the Gulf States know they cannot depend on the US to protect them, etc etc etc “Another such victory and we are undone!”

@AintMissB @acoyne Yes! WTF.

@acoyne Don’t forget that Iran was not in control of the Strait of Hormuz before the US and Israel attacked them.

@CreativeTweets @sunlorrie @CPC_HQ Yes red tory held my nose & voted Harper after merger. Robocalls made me change & voted Trudeau who promised Proportional Representation. No PR never voted Liberal again nor CPC. Voted Carney. No regrets.

@sunlorrie Over the past year, I've talked to former Progressive Conservatives who support PM Carney. Perhaps it's the @CPC_HQ who have failed to provide a political option for centrists?

EDITORIAL: Turncoat Tories to hand Mark Carney a majority While the PM is likely to achieve a majority gov't with the outcome of three byelections next Monday, it would not have happened without 3 Conservative MPs crossing the floor to the Liberals. torontosun.com/opinion/editor…

@BiniIrl @JakeLandauTO Nope. Heads on the right!

@JakeLandauTO The rest of the bills in the new series will also be vertical

Are we ever gonna do the rest of the vertical bank notes or is the $10 the only one that will be vertical?

@bpellerin Move staff ensuring fares to washroom attendants - problem solved and we save $$$

They were horrendously gross, too. Amazing that we can’t manage toilets in this town. Except for parliament station that smells like one. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

@bpellerin Where would we be if Jack Layton hadn’t passed… Justin promised electoral reform but NDP didn’t insist on it while they had the balance of power.

Bless their hearts.

@peggy_blair That is my sense of humour!

This made me laugh out loud. I am a very bad person.

Good morning, Sutcliffe’s Ottawa.

Your occasional election year reminder (and Deans was right) CBC News : Deans calls on Watson to apologize, Hubley to resign over damning LRT report (Dec 22) cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

@DylanDyson @mirgray It’s better than wash me!

Not many professions where people come to your house just to tell you how much they don’t like you. If you don’t like the news, that’s ok, don’t watch. But let’s grow up and be better humans, shall we.

@peggy_blair Love Carl read them all. The novel with a character with an amputated arm who strapped a weed wacker to his arm made me snort in laughter-on a plane…

This is right out of a Carl Hiaasen novel.
