Ok, this I might have to read! Ottawa author @peggyblair has a new mystery novel out, Shadow Play, that's set in Ottawa with the LRT playing a role in the plot.

The Ottawa Citizen wrote about it today. Could be a fun read.

Knocked out my twenty pushups (I decided to make pushups an every-day thing for now to see how that goes), then went for 26km of #cycling around #Ottawa. It was a cool and foggy morning for a ride.

The Aboriginal Veterans Monument in Ottawa was vandalized yesterday by the anti-LGBTQ2+ march. There will be a ceremony tomorrow at 11 am to restore its sacred state. All are welcome. Please share.
#NoSpaceForHate #Ottawa #Canada

Aboriginal Veterans Monument in Ottawa Ontario Canada. It was vandalized by flags bearing the swastika.

Between a nationwide anti-trans rally and a quickly brewing conflict between Canada and India, this week has been challenging for many Canadians & residents of Canada.

A reminder to take a moment, a breath, and move into this weekend with a little kindness for yourself, and for everyone around you. We all need it. :progress: 🫶

A second rally on Parliament Hill in #Ottawa heard from chiefs and #FirstNations scholars in #Ontario who vehemently object to the #federal #legislation #BillC53, which recognizes #selfgovernment for the #Métis Nations of #Ontario #Alberta and #Saskatchewan.

At issue is six additional historic Métis communities the #MNO is claiming.

Had an errand to run in the Westboro area, so added almost 22km of #cycling to my activity for the day. Biking in #Ottawa traffic is no fun, especially Queen and Carling. Also annoying; the lack of bike parking in so many places. The one bike rack at my destination was packed, as were all the near-by sign posts.

I wonder what would be required to get our city to pass something requiring businesses to have adequate parking for cyclists. #OttBike

in response to the numerous rallies being held today to attack the very existence of LGBTQ kids, parents, and teachers, I'm going to do a thread of some of my favourite trans music right now.

The new Rae Spoon album is jawdropping. The album deals with their near-death experiences and the underlying threads of transphobia accompanying them.

@the5thColumnist The city even let them put the #Ottawa city logo on the letterhead - pretty deceptive IMHO.

Well Pennsylvania based company with Canada in their name that wants me to insure 10 feet of pipe in front of my house is certainly persistent and only way to remove me from the mailing list is to call them. I'm not interested in listening to their spiel, so not going to happen. Why does City of Ottawa not have to ask me before giving them my name and address. #ottawa #ottcity

In case you haven’t learned anything from history and it isn’t yet clear to ppl in #Ottawa and across #Canada that the same people who attack #transrights also spew #antisemitism & #Islamophobia. Hate is hate. Silence is complicity. Every school board and every trustee should’ve spoken out already about Sept 20th.

Since its opening in August, the William Commanda bridge, linking Ottawa and Gatineau bike paths, has proved to be enormously popular, with approximately 7,500 people per day crossing on the first weekend of use. Almost 30,000 crossings were recorded in the first week, and over 100,000 crossings in August in total.

Just listening to #cbc #Ottawa: their economist guest advised listeners that, if they find grocery prices are too high, the solution is to buy shares in grocery chains themselves. Then they'll share in the windfall, and will understand the grocers are just good business people.

Maybe the most patronizing, out of touch take I've heard on inflation.

Sunday's 27km of #cycling around #Ottawa on the last day of #CityFolk. Today's the long day - once the music's over, we start removing our gear from the field, pack everything up, and get ready to load it out Monday. Long day, but we have a great team that will make fast work of it. And on that note … time to pedal off to Lansdowne.

Slept until about 7:30 or so, caught up with @TAV a bit, got in 25KM of #cycling around #Ottawa and Gatineau, did a bit of work, then hopped back on my bike and headed over for another day at #CityFolk. Long days, but it's fun.

Also a good example of how Lansdowne does *not* have enough bike parking available. #OttBike
