Why have so many people died this year on Ottawa's roads? | CBC News

When did the City of Ottawa decide paving over fallen, or cut trees was protocol? This tree has been down for over 3 years. With the tree removals across the street at the British High Commission, Elgin is becoming a barren landscape. @arieltroster.bsky.social @mark-sutcliffe.bsky.social
What do you think Doug Ford attributes this rise in fatal collisions to? I mean, surely he has to attribute it to something, right? #ontario #bikelanes #speedcameras #ottawa

I was rooting for you @jleiper.bsky.social. Rural communities should "get that they deserve" or get what their contributing tax base can afford? I fear getting what they "deserve" means funneling yet more funds away from the major tax base downtown while we're left suffering the consequences.

I love having the Ironman in Ottawa, and think it's great hosting the finish line in Major's Hill Park, but it's been done for 9 days now and the @ncc-ccn.gc.ca hasn't made the slightest effort to fix the grass. Huge areas are unusable for the crowds who gather on nice evenings. What's the holdup?

American consumers, how would you like to pay twice the amount for Canadian products because Canada made a trade deal with China? Sounds like a reasonable response.

I believe it's time for Canada, Europe and allies to prepare impactful sanctions and or tariffs to put on the USA if/when they make a move on an ally. Make it very clear we won't stand for this imperialistic behaviour.
It's been 131 days since Trump threatened Putin with a 50-day deadline. Instead, he wants Ukraine to sign a deal that hands over, currently controlled, territory to Russia.
With the impending removal of speed cameras, Doug Ford is moving Ontario laws in line with American ways of thinking when we should be moving towards European ways of thinking. He talks a big game against Trump, but at the end of the day, he's not that different.
Urbanists! I am reading conflicting things within urbanism communities. Some argue that increasing property value is a benefit when arguing for certain infrastructure projects. On the flip side, I also read that rising property values is what drives out certain demographics. Is there a balance?
After claiming for months tariffs are paid by the country of origin, it looks as though Trump has quietly acknowledged that it is indeed the American importing companies who pay, and now the government has to provide financial aid to said companies. So much for money flowing into US coffers.
The first death to occur in an area where a speed camera once stood will be on Doug Ford's hands. Ontario deserves better.
Donald Trump demands that other countries invest in factories in the US. Once they do, ICE will arrest all of them. Sounds like a great, safe investment. #economy #politics #hyundai #southkorea

Montreal’s multitudinous successes in pedestrianization are more than enough evidence to Ottawa to embark on its examples of what can happen when we transform our streets into places for people. 1/
Brent Toderian@brenttoderian.bsky.social · last yr.NEW: 1km of Montreal’s Ste-Catherine Street will become permanently “pedestrian only” (less than perfect term since it will be a people-place for a LOT more than walking). 225+ new trees, vegetation-covered pits for rain drainage, more seating, illuminated canopy, financial help for businesses, etc.
The likelihood of the EU, Japan, and other countries that have agreed to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in the US is slim to none. Does Trump really believe they will, or he just wanted a headline? If he truly believes it, the other leaders are laughing now.
You know the world has dramatically been altered when I, as a Canadian, am hoping for China to prevail over USA in this trade war. #tariffs #tariffwar #Trump #Xi
I just wrapped the weekend at a '55+ Lifetsyle' trade show. I was representing tourism to Prince Edward County, and every single person I spoke with said they were doing everything in their power to boycott travel to USA. It was really something to listen to each person speak with such conviction.
