Sick patients can’t get appointments while some public servants waste doctors’ time dodging the office. Your preference to work from home is NOT more important than someone else’s health. Exploiting an overwhelmed healthcare system for personal convenience is selfish, entitled and disgraceful.
You’re right. @jleiper.bsky.social lost because the establishment showed up to vote. The students, young people, and perpetual complainers he was counting on? Loud online, nowhere to be found at the ballot box.

Congratulations! @mark-sutcliffe.bsky.social
mark-sutcliffe.bsky.social@mark-sutcliffe.bsky.social · 3d agoOttawa, thank you for your trust and support. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continue serving as your mayor. Our work has only just begun. I’ll work hard every day to protect affordability, improve our quality of life, and build a better future for everyone in Ottawa.
People complain about the state of our city, yet when it’s time to make their voices heard, they stay home. 🤷♂️

I had the pleasure of attending the launch this morning of Into the Breach, the new book by General (Ret’d) Wayne Eyre, hosted by Dr. Andrew Burtch of the Canadian War Museum. Many thanks to both for kindly signing my copy.
As in previous years, I’m dedicating my digital poppy to my grandfather Pte. Antonio Sanschagrin. He served in the Royal Canadian Ordinance Corps during the Second World War. 🇨🇦

Today marks the start of the 2026 National Poppy Campaign. Wearing a poppy is a simple but meaningful way to honour our Veterans and remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for Canada. 🇨🇦
Four years later, it’s pretty clear that COVID isn’t what they can’t get over, it’s the fact that nobody’s paying attention to them anymore.
Today let’s take a moment to remember the ultimate sacrifice made 12 years ago by WO Patrice Vincent (20 Oct 2014) and Cpl Nathan Cirillo (22 Oct 2014). We will always remember them. 🙏💔 🕊️
A day I’ll always remember. I was at Borden, renewing my military ID. I was having a bite to eat in the Junior Ranks’ Mess when the news broke. Because i was in uniform I was told to go straight home, no stops. For a while afterward, we weren’t allowed to wear our uniforms in public.
Craig Baird-Canadian History Ehx@cdnhistoryehx.bsky.social · last wk.On this day in 2014, Corporal Nathan Cirillo was killed at the National War Memorial. The shooter ran to the Parliament Buildings where he was killed. Sgt-at-Arms Kevin Vickers, his security team and the RCMP earned the Star of Courage and Medal of Bravery. 📸 Guillaume Haché
Soldiers killed at CFB Wainwright identified — three from PPCLI, one from Loyal Edmonton Regiment edmontonjournal.com/news/cfb-wai...
Whenever I hear about wounded or fallen members of the CAF, my thoughts go back to 2010, when my friends Kevin and Brian were killed in Afghanistan. While the circumstances may be different, the news still hits close to home and brings back memories that never really leave you.

This has been happening to us since we switched from Rogers to Distributel, which uses the Bell network, last year. It also happens when we try to watch Habs games.

I would’ve preferred a Liberal government, but I’m relieved it ended up as a PQ minority. Quebecers clearly wanted change, but they also put some limits on how much power the PQ would have. A minority government with a strong opposition seems like a good balance. montrealgazette.com/opinion/colu...
