#CrisisManagement minute: Is your Board and Management Team ready to deal with the NVidia scenario? Forget the personalities involved…are decisions hampered by lack of good governance such as an executive succession plan. Be blunt, be honest: discuss now! Game it out.

Little attention being brought to the impacts to a judge from #ICC that is from #canada: www.npr.org/2026/10/01/n... On the whiny whim of a petulant convicted felon in an executive order and this Canadian had credit cards canceled. Increases sovereignty value from new Real-Time Rail system …

What life under U.S. sanctions looks like for one ICC judge

Kimberly Prost, a Canadian judge at the International Criminal Court, says U.S. sanctions disrupted her daily life. She is still hearing cases and challenging the sanctions in court.

Need advice: where do you get best fresh fish selection in west-end of #ottawa? I am thinking in/ near #Kanata and #Stittsville. Or do you have to go more in-town at Sage or Lapointe? Pending Sole Meunier meal!!!

Ok why not…I’ll jump into the NVidia conversation: Lack of succession planning is a #BusinessContinuity risk! Please do not get fooled by the bravado that it is not required. Span of control to have more than 60 reports is foolhardy and arrogant. Too-big to fail? Too important to be replaced?

Just returned from a quick canoe camping trip with one of the doggos at the most accessible backcountry park that is glamping-backcountry in my books. Likely was serenaded by migratory Trumpeter Swans. These birds are huge As we paddled by some in a little bay. Huge i say! Lovely paddle with doggo!

So…have the computers finished counting yet in #ottawa?

Doug Ford and the #ontario PC government have been on power (majority power) for over 8 years now. Hearing Minister of Finance state that despite geowing deficits that they will pay for it by finding efficiencies and savings. Ummm…you have been atvit for 8 years already. Still not found them??!!

"Over the past four years, I’ve added 340 police officers and paramedics and made real progress in keeping our communities safe." - attributed to #ottawa mayor during debate. Making it about himself is not a good look. Falsely painted @jleiper.bsky.social as OPS Defunder...also not a good look! 👺

Tech BS: "Technology is about making our lives better, more productive, and more connected to each other". [this is a made-up/ fictitious quote 😜] This is utter BS! It is about being able to bring us even closer to more ads and more opportunities to be sold something. Case: mobile phones. ...

Major hat tip to the restaurant in Gander Airport www.facebook.com/unioneastgan... Had a wonderful salmon burger that is part of the #gander Burger Battle. Highly recommend!

Surely some regulatory agency or Federal or Provincial government has given permission or has asked for a #safety plan to do this? Can anyone just start putting anything on the roads? How did Service Ontario accept docu for issuing vehicle permit? Feels like we are skipping some steps here…

Transit That Works

Ottawa should be a city where getting around is simple and predictable. Right now it isn't.

With recent announcement that DND will be contracting new hyperscale data-center (ottawacitizen.com/public-servi... ) that will likely require #ottawa to support it with more of its own infrastructure, and that City is still waiting on "framework" from staff, have the horses run out of the barn yet?

Reading a lot of social posts for mayoral candidate with ‘I’ ‘I’ ‘I’ and no ‘We’ as a Council lead by Mayor. Optics is to make it look like they alone will do the work in #ottawa City Hall rather than demo’ing leadership toward others doing stuff. Hmmm…wonder Strong Mayor powers are to be used?! 🤔

Ever noticed how dysfunctional #Hwy417 eastbound is from Pinecrest to Merivale is with the lanes alignment? Also, with the recent reopening of lane after Carling the flow opens up. But that barrier replacement does not look completed. Wonder if work is paused until municipal elections for #ottawa 🤔

Watch this! And learn something about consent. ☮️✊

Caroline Ball@heroicendeavour.eurosky.social · last mo.

My partner had never seen the work of genius that is the ‘tea consent’ video, so now I’m sharing it here again, because consent explained through the vehicle of tea is the most British thing ever. And also really fucking important.

Google needs to do better than this on this day of reflection

Apologies to the low tax increase politicians out there in #ottawa… but I will not be limiting my contracting rate increases to 2% over the next few years!

Remind me where annual inflation rate sits at right now and projected into the next few years??!! 🤔

mark-sutcliffe.bsky.social@mark-sutcliffe.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Keeping life affordable means keeping property taxes under control. That’s why I’m making a clear commitment to limit property tax increases to 2% to 2.5% for the next two years.

One of the most sociopathic indicators is having a motorcycle or modified vehicle that is loud! There! It is said! How are such noise machines even permitted to be licensed in #ontario ??!! Not only banned … but to also get demerit points.
