Talking about #mentalillness will help us create a society that approaches #mentalhealth the same way it approaches physical health -- and that will help to improve and save lives. Check out my blog post. #BellLetsTalk

Greenbank northbound closed at Fallowfield. Fallowfield very backed up both directions. #otttraffic

There was a time when Ottawa had a great rock/alt- rock #livemusic scene ... back when Eugene Haslam brought tons of acts to Barrymores and Zaphods. This site is a fantastic idea to find out where shows are happening.

When you think of cities with a strong music subculture, Ottawa may not be top of mind. But one local entrepreneur is trying to change that.

@OttFire crews are on scene of a working structure fire in the area of Greenbank and Jockvale. Single storey abandoned structure with heavy smoke showing on the exterior. #ottnews #ottcity #ottfire

@mikewoodottawa It's crazy. I just came on to see if anyone knew what was up.

@ThatEricAlper I do not want what I haven't got

My fave concert tee ever. I wore it to shreds.

POWERFUL... 🤌🏼

🟥 Mark Carney: “When politicians (like Pierre Poilievre) claim our great democracies are broken, it's not because they want to FIX them. It's because they want a license to DEMOLISH...

It's a model that has been USED time and time again: Create an external constraint to STARVE the beast of government, in a misguided view that SLASHING will lead to growing...

...When Poilievre shouts 'axe the tax!', he's really whispering, 'can the plan' and leaving us with NOTHING.

Demolition is NOT a plan.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

#Mythbusting : social media claims that sunscreen causes more harm than good. Fact: authorized sunscreens on the market have been tested for safety when used as directed. Homemade sunscreen risks skin damage or worse, skin cancer. #health

Name a #singersongwriter you've seen in concert 5x or more.

I'll start: @SteveEarle. Last night's #AloneAgain solo & acoustic show at @ACT_Ottawa = #5. But it was my 1st time for acoustic Steve. My review in one word: perfection. #livemusic

@ThatEricAlper This and don't forget Operation, with the electric zaps, ... relaxing family game time at its best!

@FoucaultFanatic A pizza delivery guy who often delivered to me went from offering compliments to asking for a hug and continued to cajole for one when I said no. I shut that down fast.

[Cher Marie @CherMarieSmith]

@RollingStone Love the review. I watched it (except when fell asleep, prob during slo-mos) b/c curious if it could be worse than p1 or would emerge from its ashes wiser & shine anew. (damn robot influence). I hope there is a p.3 -- for the review. That alone justified the movie being made.

I've done some of these tips over the years. They do help. This article has prompted me to make them part of my routine again. #mentalhealth #burnout #depression

@JayWigmore Mandatory how to drive in snow would be more useful. Snow tires help, but they do not mean you can drive like it's bare asphalt in summer.

@RATM Damn. Glad I finally got to see them live when they passed thru @ottawabluesfest in 2022. They were on fire and, even with Zack sitting because of his injury, the energy radiated off the stage and infected the crowd. #livemusic

[Cher Marie @CherMarieSmith]

A few days late, but still want to share. No photos from the event b/c Bob said no -- and that's just fine. Still reliving the epic @bobdylan concert in #Rochester. Amazing performance by a legend. And met some great people. So many reasons to love #livemusic #musicismedicine
