Ottawa Driver

I'm concerned about global warming so I do all I can, like keeping the tires on my minivan inflated to the correct pressure when I commute daily from the suburb

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

I did not mind the commute, the slower speed made it a lot easier to eat my cereal while driving

[Rebecca Jaremko Bromwich @RebeccaJaremko]

How about that commute, #Ottawa? - for me this morning was a good reminder that we still need to make sure people can effectively use the roads for cars. If elected I will work towards realistic solutions in #capitalward

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

Tired: making it easier and more affordable to live, shop, and work in the same neighborhood
Wired: subsidizing sprawl and free parking

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

This is the balanced approach that Ottawa needs with more & wider roads for drivers, and ample stock photos of cyclists

[Mark Sutcliffe @_MarkSutcliffe]

2/2 I respect the fact that if you live in the suburbs or rural Ottawa, you’re not going to take your kid to ringuette practice in February on a bike. We need a balanced transportation plan - not one that picks commuter winners and losers.

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

@_MarkSutcliffe We need someone like Mark who will look out for the struggling boomers everywhere

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

@_MarkSutcliffe We should cut back on spending! Except for roads. And parking. And the police (aside from speeding tickets). And Porsche dealerships.

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

@_MarkSutcliffe Oh and my electricity bill is too high. So is my water bill, and gas, so we should subsidize those too.

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

When people say that they want a more "liveable" city this is the kind of beautiful landscape that they want to give up

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

@_MarkSutcliffe @Eli_ElChantiry Ottawa needs innovative leaders like you and Eli that be can be trusted to deliver the same kinds of results we've had for the last four years!

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

Finally, a candidate who will look after the boomers' concerns

[Mark Sutcliffe @_MarkSutcliffe]

I am excited and grateful today as I officially register as a candidate to be the next mayor of #Ottawa – the best city in Canada, and a place I’m proud to call my hometown.

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

@JPTorunski @MrOneWheelDrive @ErikWdV Definitely not someone who drives

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

@JustDaveForNow @MrOneWheelDrive Isn't it the Queen who can decide who can use it? Queen Elizabeth Driveway is her driveway, after all

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

As drivers, we need to ask: Are we doing enough to support Russia's economy? Or should we buy more gasoline.

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

@heatshear @fordnation I'm hoping that I can burn through many tanks of gas and increase the savings

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

Thank you @fordnation for subsidizing our struggling oil and gas sector! They only made $150 billion in revenue last year

[Doug Ford @fordnation]

Ontario workers and families deserve relief at the pumps. That’s why we’re providing #tax relief by cutting the #gastax by 5.7 cents per litre and the #fuel (diesel) tax by 5.3 cents per litre for six months beginning July 1, 2022.

@cbcotttraffic It's the white fiberglass rods that make it springy

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

@GSensibilities @ShawnMenard1 Yeah it's not like there's a magic train or some kind of bus system that can move people around efficiently

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

Imagine all the Porsche dealerships the city could subsidize if we defund the police

[David Coletto @DavidColetto]

A reminder that about 1 in 5 dollars of revenue to the City of Ottawa is spent on the police service.

That's more than public health, paramedics, the library, social housing, parks and recreation, and employment services combined.

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

But how am I supposed to get downtown now? That's like the only street there is

[CBC Ottawa @CBCOttawa]

Queen Elizabeth Driveway opening again for active use on weekends https://t.co/BWUgITLKAN #ottnews #ottawa

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

Nobody bikes in winter. And if we keep it up, there won't be any winter left anyways! And ignore the flooding, droughts etc.

[Ottawa Driver @Ottawa_Driver]

Traffic planning is all about the fine line between being just homicidal enough that cars can move freely and being over the top homicidal

[David Reevely @davidreevely]

This is homicidal design.
