Blue Mountain, Ontario. Who are they?

In 2009, a small change to the way Ottawa collects Development Charges resulted in a very significant subsidy on sprawl. This change was made by city staff, against the direction of council, buried in a 450 page background study, and nobody on council seems to have noticed.🧵

From a friend who isn't on Twitter:
I was riding down University Av and these two were chatting up a storm. Then this happened... this is why bike lanes need to be everywhere!!! 🥰

@DaveBikeSki @BikeOttawa @ArielTroster @KitchissippiOtt @ShawnMenard1 Actually, seems cleared up now.

@DaveBikeSki @BikeOttawa @ArielTroster @KitchissippiOtt @ShawnMenard1 This morning they had the bike path totally blocked in two places, both on the south side of where the spectators will stand. I was biking with my kids so there wasn't really a safe detour elsewhere.

@soupytoasterson Very sorry to hear that. Condolences.

Here's a simple {ggplot2} + {dplyr} combo for using colors:

1️⃣ Create a new column with color names using case_when()

2️⃣ Use new column in aes() and add a scale_color_identity() layer.

Great trick to draw your reader's attention to specific parts of your plot. #rstats

Taking Flight ✈️

[BYTOWN MUSEUM @BytownMuseum]

#FridayFun On Jan. 28, 1922 Lord and Lady Byng officially opened the “slide-a-mile” ice slide along the #Ottawa Locks. For ten cents, riders could fly down the icy chute at almost 100 km/h all the way down to the frozen Ottawa River. It was a long walk back to the top though!

[Anthony Hobday @hobdaydesign]

A while ago I wrote and illustrated this list of visual design rules you can safely follow every time.

To be clear, it’s fine to break these rules if you want. But they’re safe: most people agree they’re good rules.

Let me know if I’ve missed any.
