Thx you for the work that you do. We just moved to Kitchissippi ward and are keen to add a tree to our small patch. Would be great to know who the go to arborists are in this area … anyone?

Ottawa’s urban neighbourhoods falling behind on tree canopy targets In May 2022, the City of Ottawa and parts of Ontario and Quebec were hit by a powerful weather phenomenon known as a derecho.

Our executive director William van Geest spoke with the Kitchissippi Times about @en.ottawa.ca's progressβ€”or lack thereofβ€”on building #Ottawa's urban tree canopy.

Urban trees offer massive benefits, butβ€”by its own admissionβ€” #OttCity is underresourcing its efforts.

Meet Sophie Scholl a member of the White Rose Resistance who urged Germans to peacefully resist the Nazi regime. It cost her her life. Her final words should still resonate today.

Transportation Master Plan Update Moving in the right direction Ottawa has grown into a city of one million residents. Over the next 25 years, that number is expected to grow to more than 1.4 million. With that kind of growth, we need...

@en.ottawa.ca's draft Transportation Master Plan perpetuates this car dependency: it abandons the Official Plan's commitment to make >50% of all trips by sustainable modes by 2046.

Traffic in #Ottawa yesterday was *terrible*.

This is a natural symptom of our system's over-reliance on cars.

Car travel is least efficient mode for throughput. An efficient transportation system provides safe and connected travel through sustainable modes.

We’ve seen two bike-car collisions at the Trillium Pathway at Beech already this yr. Lots of verbal altercations between peds & drivers as well. What will it take to slow everyone down at this intersection before there’s a serious incident?! @en.ottawa.ca @arieltroster.com @bikeottawa.bsky.social

The vote split is familiar. Deamalgate or (more realistically) adopt a borough system.

Sign the Petition Evict Pierre and Ana Poilievre out of the Stornoway Residence in Ottawa, Canada

#Pierracite has no business living rent free at Stornoway as a defeated politician. Consider signing the petition to remove the squator from the residence of the leader of the official opposition.

Pierre Poilievre should respect the clear decision of Canadian voters who chose not to re-elect him and vacate Stornoway. Taxpayers should not be paying for a politician who no longer holds office, as doing so contradicts principles of fiscal responsibility and the appropriate use of public funds.

What if we used our existing land in better ways? What if we maintained green space and agricultural land for growing food to support farmers and provide food security? What if that was part of the solution to climate change? We know the answers; politically we’re not looking at the long game.

When suburban development looks to expand into floodplains or farmland that is meant to help control, flooding and stormwater, even if it’s re-engineered to pretend it’s safe, eventually nature will have its way. And those homeowners are then stuck in society has to step in and pick up the cost. 1/

Blanchet defends calling Canada an β€˜artificial country’ Bloc QuΓ©bΓ©cois leader faces criticism from Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston, other federal party leaders

Just... stop. You cannot defend saying that Canada is an 'artificial' country. It took shape long before you were born. It was a radical idea at the time to meld two cultures in one entity, respecting each others' institutions and histories. There is always room for improvement, of course.

Poilievre says he'll use notwithstanding clause to ensure multiple-murderers die in prison | CBC News Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he’ll ensure multiple-murderers die in jail by becoming the first Canadian prime minister to override charter rights by invoking the notwithstanding clause.

THIS IS TOTAL PERFORMANCE ART! If there are any Canadians who think multiple murderers are routinely released from federal prison, think again:

Poilievre is an unmitigated liar who will exploit anger and rage to their fullest.

Exactly how many multiple murderers have been released from federal custody? If so, when did their sentence commence, & how old were they when they were released? Rare as teeth on a hen, FFS.

Olson died in prison. Pickton died in prison. Bernardo will die in prison.

Well done. Rode Line 2 for the first time last week since it reopened. Still baffled as to why I had to pay $4.05 cash. (Cost of handling $$?) Had I used a CC, the City would’ve lost 1-3%, no?
