In case you’re wondering why #centretown residents and the rest of urban Ottawa are losing our minds…my watch was showing dB readings hitting 105 dB at Bank & Queen. This occupation has ZERO sympathy from us anymore. #OttawaOccupation #GoHomeConvoy #ottcity

WARNING: Turn down 🔈 As of 1900 it has basically been like this for the past 6 hours. The worst to date with dB readings peaking at 110 dB. I counted a number of kids and toddlers in strollers in the vicinity. People, this is Day 20 of the #OttawaOccupation #OttCity

Hey @OttawaPolice anytime you want to come by Albert near O’Connor, basically every truck here has been violating the injunction. I saw 101 dB show up on my watch. Taken at 21:02 this evening (and this is one small sample no doubt). #ottawaoccupiers #ottcity #ConvoyGoHome

@wickdchiq Awesome thread. You’re among the very few who rightly point out the notion of racism/fascism/general bad behaviour is pretty rooted in 🇨🇦 and not an imported problem (although our friends to the south help fan its flames). This made-in-🇨🇦 sweep under the rug is very problematic.

Q: Can you ride a #Brompton for a triathlon? A: Hell yes! This was my 1st 🏊‍♂️ 🚲 🏃‍♂️ and I loved it! Donning my sportiest 🩴s for the 🚲, I was able to do well uphill but was getting destroyed on the flats/downhills. What a great event and 👌🏼 setting! #ottbike #velogat #Triathon

@ottawacity I totally understand the need to preserve the surface to allow for grooming operations, but the point about concerns with plowing/salting/grit on steel heritage structure/timber decking, please explain why this works on the Minto Bridges in New Edinburgh:

@DaveBikeSki Even the Minto Bridges with wooden planks/decking for pedestrians is winter maintained by…drum roll…the City of Ottawa (per exhibit A below). I would love to know what is so technically different between these three bridges that makes that one not plowable? It’s baffling 🤷‍♂️

There’s a million signs that Ottawa is experiencing unprecedented wacky weather this year…but none more poignant than the sighting of this piece of #ottcity heritage a good month earlier than usual. #ottweather PS - My man LBG Ismael even slowed down so I could capture this 📸

@PaulChampLaw Bravo for not absolutely falling over in hysterics after the most absurd word cloud I’ve heard in quite some time….

@RebeccaBromwich The rule of law I observed was the police springing into action at the mere whiff of any form of counter protest…but other than the Emergencies Act, the only relief to #centretown was the injunction that was truly a grassroots effort led by Zexi Li and @PaulChampLaw .

#ONStorm #FreezingRain #ottcity PSA 🚨: the ice accretion and winds are creating the conditions for heavy tree branches to fall down (as evidenced by my lovely maple branch that scared the living daylights during a call as it fell down and thankfully injured nobody). #ottweather

Hey @ottawacity FTFY! It is seriously satisfying (and infuriating) to have to deadlift/toss these chunky signs off the sidewalk. And frankly they’re more visible to 🚘s as well in the after 📸. 🤷‍♂️ #ottcity #ottwalk #ottroll

@RachelDecoste @Morneau_Shepell Unreal yet unsurprising. When I was laid off, they were paid $5000/employee to provide outplacement services. Dudebro extolled the virtues of dog walking and fast food franchises to a room full of software devs...and told a war story of getting "Jew'd down" in a negotiation.
