Sounds like maybe a tornado touched down between Barrhaven and Manotick. This from my oldest #Ottawa #onstorm

So apparently now I can read ‘tarot reader for live events and parties’ to my increasingly eclectic CV. Thanks a million to @HitPointPress for the opportunity to play with the stunning Fablemaker’s Animated Tarot. It was super fun to add a D&D spin to all the readings!!

@pressprogress @_llebrun The Canadian Tulip Festival has contributed hundreds of millions of tourism dollars to Ottawa's hotels, restaurants, transportation services, artists, and businesses for the last 70 years, providing a HUGE return on the city's investment. 1/3
NEW: Ottawa mayoral candidate Mark Sutcliffe advocated defunding Capital Pride, Festival Franco-Ontarien and Tulip Festival. “It’s too much like a parent handing out more and more cash to a teenager who never learns how to look after himself.” pressprogress.ca/ottawa-elec… #ottnews

Hey @GapCA this math seems a little disingenuous. The clerk said I’d save 50% but in fact the discount is 40% plus 10% of 40% off. That’s a total of 46% off. I looked it up and the T&C on the ‘treat’ discount says “extra 10% off your purchase” not off your discounted subtotal

@gap - is there no longer a Gap Canada account?

Gotta admit, feeling a little prickly hearing the chief electoral officer for ON on say on @OttawaMorning that @hydroottawa prioritizing election sites when my neighbourhood on well water has had neither power nor water for five days.

I have been thinking this constantly throughout the police action. This is the new standard for all protests, right? The indigenous and the POC and all the marginalized folks too?
Replying to @Justin_Ling
We, of course, ought to consider that a crowd of mostly-white folks got this light-touch treatment while homeless encampments and Indigenous occupations get systematically more aggressive and dangerous interventions. It's hard to ignore the stark difference.

The Ottawa Police Service wants to inform you that under provincial and federal legislation, you will face severe penalties if you do not cease further unlawful activity and remove your vehicle and/or property immediately from all unlawful protest sites. #ottawa #ottnews

This is fine. Sigh.
There is now a boat parked on Kent st. The owner says he’s been sleeping in it, it has propane and a BBQ #cdnpoli #ottnews

Oh Ottawa. I love you so much, and it’s heartbreaking to watch the city imploding. Every crack and fissure that’s been hiding under the surface has broken wide open. I feel so helpless watching it.

This is completely false. In no way does this suspend civil liberties. Good grief

My whole life, I’ve believed that the government and the police were ultimately good and ultimately acted with good intentions. The occupation of Ottawa has left me angry and disillusioned. I’ve lost so much faith in humanity and our public institutions.
I have never seen the mild mannered, rule following people of Ottawa this angry. Ever. And most of it is directed @OttawaPolice

Ottawa residents have blocked dozens of Convoy vehicles from entering downtown. Their blockade started at 9 this morning..going on 6 hours. It is -21 C with the windchill. Don't see any propane tank heaters/ generators/or illegal bonfires keeping them warm

After 15 days of an occupation… and with reports of a burgeoning free-for-all in downtown #Ottawa tonight … the sickening and bewildering reality for residents of Canada’s capital city is that no one really is in charge, & those charged with leading have abandoned their posts.

This thread is everything that's breaking my heart over the ongoing occupation of Ottawa. How is this happening in my beautiful city? Why is this being allowed to continue? WTAF?? I'm so angry, and so disillusioned, that this could happen - that this is still happening.
Friends, it’s time to check-in on Ottawa’s nightlife! As I reported yesterday, Ottawa’s second hottest club, Wellington St, was undergoing renos but they’ve gone bigger than I could imagine They’ve added a massive big screen behind the DJ, to accompany the VIP deck #ottnews
