They made doors, gum and jerry cans.

Ontario’s ‘essential’ workers in manufacturing accounted for more workplace COVID deaths than any other sector — even health care.

This shows why there is a need for strong civilian oversight of police. The document is about a grade 8 level of understanding about political forces, protests, etc. and apparently foundational. Also it’s nonsense.

Oh yeah, and if you’re in Ward 13 like me — vote for Rawlson! I’ve always gotten a good response from him and his team whenever I’ve sent emails. We need reps like him who show that they care about their constituents.

[Marguerite Marlin @MargieCMarlin]

Just ran into my Ward 13 councillor @rawlsonking while he was out canvassing; had to give him props for making the rounds on such a miserable day. Don’t forget to vote on Monday, Oct. 24th if you haven’t already! #ottcity #ottawavote 🗳

Pretty interesting and remarkable endorsements for McKenney this weekend. Sutcliffe's play to centre, turned into a play for the right, IMO. Pushing away a lot of centrist voters who'd have considered him.

CM describes how things got more chaotic as days went on. People were being followed in their neighborhoods, and there was no police presence. All of the police were on the hill

Gomery says evidence is TUPOC didn’t pay the rent on time and certainly didn’t pay the $100,000 in deposit on the revised deadline they negotiated. “I think you should move on from trying to convince me they didn’t breach the lease,” she tells Gebresellassi.

"Since beginning their mandate to end homelessness, individuals who have entered Medicine Hat’s program have seen a 28% reduction in the number of days in hospitals and a 66% reduction of days spent in jail.”

@caredunton Woohoo! Congratulations 🥳

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970's via @fietsprofessor. The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today. Better choices instead of excuses.

Conservative MP Joël Godin says he would leave the party if Pierre Poilievre is chosen as leader, and may join an initiative to create a new party for Conservatives and Liberals looking for an alternative.

BREAKING: A jury has ruled that Alex Jones must pay more than $4 million to a pair of Sandy Hook parents after he spent years spreading lies that their child didn't die.

The jury isn't done yet, either.

Our neighbourhoods in #CollegeWard have been designed around cars, not people. In the last six days there have been two major collisions within walking distance from my neighbourhood, one which tragically claimed a life yesterday. This is unacceptable.

Today is going to be a pretty decent day at the commission.

We start today with D. Wynne (SEMP) and S. Mammoliti (TUV Rheinland/ISA) then we go to the incomparable Jim Watson 🎉 after 2pm.

This is DAY 14 of Ottawa Light Rail Transit Commission

Um, Pierre Poilievre is choosing to walk alongside James Topp.

James Topp went on Jeremy Mackenzie's show -- who was part of the broadcast that said they hoped the "Freedom Convoy" would be Canada's January 6th: https://t.co/au0ObcjMJN

Yeah, that Jan. 6.

So this is a choice.

[Suzanne @SJohnsdottire]

Pro-lifers don't like complexity. At 17 weeks my placenta detached and he was much too small. I thought I felt my baby's frantic attempts to breathe. My OBGYN advised me to terminate the pregnancy, there wasn't much time. But I couldn't.

[Marguerite Marlin @MargieCMarlin]

Laine Johnson gets it — intensification and building up the “missing middle” can dovetail with higher quality of life and sustainability. Hoping she’s the next #ottcity councillor for College Ward 🗳 .

[Laine Johnson @laine_johnson1]

A growing city presents opportunities to get the traffic, road and recreational investments #collegeward needs. But we need a voice at #ottcity City Hall that will speak up for our communities and ask developers to deliver more local benefits.
