WE SEE YOU ON YOUR PHONE. LEAVE IT ALONE. 📱🚫🚗

As a driver, your responsibility is to focus on the road so you can react to changing conditions.

An attentive driver takes about 1.5 seconds to react to a situation on the roadway. When you’re distracted, that reaction time can double.

Everyone can help prevent distracted driving:

• Put your phone in the trunk, glove box, or back seat so you aren’t tempted to use it
• Turn your phone off or on Do Not Disturb
• Pull over safely before using your phone
• As a passenger, speak up if the driver reaches for their phone
• If you’re texting someone who’s driving, wait until they arrive safely

Your message can wait.
Your safety and everyone else’s cannot.

~

ON VOUS VOIT SUR VOTRE TÉLÉPHONE. LÂCHEZ-LE. 📱🚫🚗

Comme conducteur, votre responsabilité est de rester concentré sur la route afin de pouvoir réagir aux conditions changeantes.

Un conducteur attentif met environ 1,5 seconde pour réagir à une situation sur la route. Lorsqu’il est distrait, ce temps de réaction peut doubler.

Tout le monde peut aider à prévenir la conduite distraite :

• Placez votre téléphone dans le coffre, le coffre à gants ou sur la banquette arrière
• Éteignez votre téléphone ou activez le mode Ne pas déranger
• Arrêtez-vous en toute sécurité avant d’utiliser votre téléphone
• Comme passager, rappelez au conducteur de se concentrer sur la route
• Si vous textez quelqu’un qui conduit, attendez qu’il arrive à destination

Votre message peut attendre.
La sécurité de tous ne peut pas.

🚨 We’re warning Ottawa residents about distraction thefts happening across the city.

These incidents are often occurring in parking lots and involve suspects using conversation as a way to distract victims, like offering jewelry for sale, asking for directions or for help.
While you’re engaged, an accomplice may attempt to steal a wallet or other valuables from your vehicle or pockets.
These suspects rely on charm, speed, and deception and it only takes a moment.

🔎 Stay alert, especially in parking lots.
🚶 If something feels off, walk away and trust your instincts.
📞 If you’re a victim or witness and the suspect is still nearby, do not follow them. Call 9-1-1 immediately and provide as many details as possible.

Stay aware. Secure your belongings.
~
🚨 Soyez en garde des vols par diversion signalés à travers Ottawa.

Ces incidents surviennent souvent dans des stationnements et impliquent des suspects qui engagent la conversation, que ce soit en offrant des bijoux à vendre ou en demandant de l’aide ou des directions.
Pendant que votre attention est détournée, un complice peut tenter de voler un portefeuille ou d’autres objets de valeur dans votre véhicule ou sur vous.
Ces suspects misent sur le charme, la rapidité et la tromperie et quelques secondes suffisent.

🔎 Restez vigilants, particulièrement dans les stationnements.
🚶 Si une situation vous semble suspecte, éloignez-vous et fiez-vous à votre instinct.
📞 Si vous êtes victime ou témoin et que le suspect est toujours à proximité, ne le suivez pas. Composez le 9-1-1 immédiatement et fournissez le plus de détails possible.

Restez attentifs. Protégez vos effets personnels.

Have you skated to work?

[John P Erwin III MD MBA MACC (#BigPoppy ) @HeartOTXHeartMD]

Not sure who to attribute this assertion to, but it rings true!

To those born between 1952 and 1979 —

We are the bridge between two worlds.
The last to grow up before the digital age—and the first to walk into it.
We didn’t just witness history. We lived the transformation.

We were the kids who played outside until the streetlights came on—
who shouted friends’ names from the curb, not from a screen.
We scraped our knees on pavement,
ran errands with checkered grocery bags,
and got rewarded with coins and candy.

We are the generation that spun vinyl, then made mixtapes.
That danced with Walkmans, marveled at CDs,
and gently blew into Atari cartridges to make them work again.
We played Pac-Man and watched our VHS tapes until the ribbon wore thin.

We remember houses that cost five figures.
We watched our parents buy them,
and decades later, still wonder how they did it.

We grew up with The Flintstones, Ultraman, Bonanza, and GI Joe.
We listened to bedtime stories on radios and woke up to cartoon jingles.
We danced to The Beatles, rocked to Led Zeppelin,
and later cried to Soda Stereo and Los Bukis.

We are the last to know life without helmets or seat belts—
and somehow, we made it.
We drank soda from glass bottles,
picked up tortillas from the ground, dusted them off, and ate them.
We drank from the same bottle. We shared everything.
The worst we got? Lice. And vinegar took care of that.

We traveled 10 hours in cars without tablets, seat-back screens, or fast food chains.
Just games, songs, and endless questions from the backseat.

We carried books that bent our backs. No wheels. No excuses.
We memorized phone numbers, learned cursive, and rewound tapes with a pencil.

We had no smartphones. No TikTok. No social media.
But we had marbles, hide and seek, jump rope, and truth or dare under the stars.

We built friendships in sweat, dirt, and laughter—
not with likes, but with loyalty.
We weren’t categories or hashtags.
We were “the quiet one,” “the funny one,” “the freckled one.”
And still—we belonged.

We didn’t learn from TED Talks or YouTube tutorials.
We learned from falling, failing, and getting up again.

They call us Generation X.
But we are more than a letter.

We are the foundation.
The in-between.
The last ones to remember before it all went digital.

❤️ We survived it all—with heart, with grit, with soul.
And we wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Cheers to us.
To the ones who lived both before and after.
To the lucky ones.

The NHL announced a preseason initiative in collaboration with the Matthew Perry Foundation, where $50 from every preseason goal will go to "Goals to Recovery." 👏

The charity honors the late "Friends" actor and passionate hockey fan, and aims to eliminate the stigma surrounding addiction.
