I know there are a million more important things to do right now, but the world could use a reboot of Back To The Future.
Doc: “Then tell me, future boy. Who’s President of the United States in 2026?”
Marty: “Donald Trump.”
Doc: “Donald Trump? The casino guy?!"

Hot take: Ādisōke costing more than promised doesn't mean it was a mistake. We respond to difficulty with ridicule, then retreat.
Wrong lesson.
Build the library. Build the transit. Build great public spaces. And develop the expertise to deliver them.

I could be wrong and I’d genuinely love other Canadians to chime in. There’s a lot of anger in Canada toward the U.S. right now. Tariffs. Trump. Sovereignty. The “51st state”. But I also think there’s something important underneath all of that.

If (God forbid) the US suffered another 9/11-style tragedy, I don’t doubt for a second that Canadians would stand beside Americans. There’s a difference between being angry with your neighbour and ceasing to care about your neighbour.

Anyhow, the @REDBLACKS are 0-9 and have a .340 winning percentage since 1976. If it was possible...we would have been relegated a long time ago.
@VancityReynolds @RMcElhenney - come buy a Canadian football club and save us!

Does your commute have you running late to get your kid from daycare? Have you considered, 5 à 7 instead?
I want to address and correct the misinterpretations and mischaracterizations that have been circulating regarding the city’s approach to communicating transportation plans for the fall.
Let me be clear: there is no plan to encourage employers to keep employees downtown longer, nor to do any marketing or communications along those lines.
I have asked city staff to ensure that any and all communications will be to inform residents of the 48 different measures we are taking to make traffic flow more smoothly. That includes increasing the frequency of Line 1, adding more bus service including express routes, and addressing other issues including parking and traffic flow.
We must ensure our transit and transportation plan is ready for people to travel in and out of downtown whenever they choose to do so.

Ever wonder if Sidney Crosby gets sad and cheers himself up by watching that video of the Golden Goal in 16 languages on YouTube?

Now that I’ve sorted my ticket debacle for game 1 at CTC.
These transit options from a central Ottawa neighbourhood are also terrible.

So does anyone know if/when it'll be possible to buy @Senators playoff tickets without committing to an entire season?

TVO and @TFO_Ontario are coming together for a first-of-its-kind bilingual special exploring Canada’s Francophone and Anglophone communities.
Hosted by @spaikin & @PadovaniSandra , the program is inspired by the novel Two Solitudes, celebrating its 80th anniversary in 2025.
Guests include Yann Martel (Life of Pi), columnist @TashaKheiriddin, and academics @DrSChouinard and Serge Dupuis.
Watch on March 20 at 8 pm & 11 pm! #InternationalDayOfFrancophonie
Excellent pivot back to focusing on Ottawa.
The Sens could just tour the @NCC_Skateway and NCR ODRs.
