@ctvottawa They're passing on a whole 0.1% of the decrease that we know was above 2.49%, claiming that they need it to cover "other municipal charges". 😡

@RobynUrback Are the youth "special interests"?

@ReadsToo I think I'm in the middle... I can visualize some things but it doesn't always come naturally. When I'm reading, I rarely visualize characters but I often visualize the setting. It's so interesting to hear what others see or don't!

Amazing! Canada should do the same @JustinTrudeau @s_guilbeault @Yasir_Naqvi

Today, I'm taking executive action to launch the American Climate Corps – a workforce initiative that will train over 20,000 young people for good-paying jobs in the clean energy and climate resilience economy.

@danlam_96 That's internalized capitalism!

@ArielTroster Bike racks! I love to bike to a park, but would be nice to not have to park on a street sign. Plus, public washrooms, trees, bike tool stands. 🌳🚻🚲

[Megan Bowers @MegaBowers]

Hey @NCC_CCN, why are you letting your greenspace and parkway be used as a private parking lot for #Bluesfest? Parkways are for people! #auttawa #ottawa

[Megan Bowers @MegaBowers]

@lana_stewart @ArielTroster @ottawabot @TBS_Canada What bicycle path?? There isn't one on Slater? You have a right to be on the road!

[Megan Bowers @MegaBowers]

This! Taking action (especially while connecting with others) is the best way to soothe the dread.

@NCC_GatPark Are you running on Victoria Day?

[Megan Bowers @MegaBowers]

@siokirkland I was really upset they cut the bus from the airport that goes right downtown (now have to switch at Hurdman and it's much longer). I used to always take the bus, now the Uber is way more convenient unfortunately.

[City of Ottawa @ottawacity]

It takes two to tango at our urban intersections, with pedestrians, drivers, cyclists, motorcyclists and e-scooters in the mix.
If everyone follows their road usage rules, everyone can remain safe: https://t.co/YWRttYjQtl #ThinkSafetyActSafely
