Hey @s_guilbeault, we need a strong single-use plastic (SUP) ban to #BeatPlasticPollution:
1⃣ Expand the ban list 🥤
2⃣ Stop the export of SUP🚢
3⃣ Enforce the ban this year 🕐
4⃣ Don't let flimsy SUPs be replaced by more durable throwaway plastic 🍴🛍️

Not to diminish anyone's fear or alarm, but it appears white people in Ottawa are starting to understand what it's like to be constantly let down by police and the justice system

@billieeilish Does this include April 11 in Vancouver? They've just banned large gatherings in BC but we're flying in so need to know. Tx!

@RobynBresnahan Bliss. Sweet short-lived bliss.

AirBNB is having a disproportionate impact on the rental housing market. We need strict regulations in #Ottcity to ensure rental affordability. A study is ongoing in Ottawa and expect to see recommendations in the Fall #ottnews #ottpoli #affordablehousing https://t.co/cTOksIPGZ0

Councillor @ShawnMenard1's motion to declare a climate emergency passes city council by an overwhelming margin.

This is an important step in the city's efforts to fight climate change and protect our environment for our kids and grand kids.

[Kate Porter @KatePorter613]

.@ShawnMenard1's multi-pronged climate change emergency motion OK'd by committee. Many councillors spoke to wanting to do right by the next generation. The no voters said they didn't agree with the word "emergency", felt other levels of gov't should take lead. #ottnews #ottcity

@ShawnMenard1 2 locks or indoor bike parking. Or a very old bike no one wants to steal. #mytips

Only 2 more days until you can meet Spike, an African pygmy hedgehog. He loves all bugs, especially mealworms. #CountdownToCuteness #SurvivaloftheSlowest #SlothAtTheMuseum #hedgehog @raysreptiles https://t.co/MGnVWa83cF
