Eric Goodwin<p>Aparently maintaining a fuckigg webpage and rss feed is too hard for the city of ottawa so twitter it is. Not a fascist and want updates? Push off. <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/ottpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ottpoli</span></a></p>
Eric Goodwin<p>The issue they ignore is that posting on Twitter means you only talk to Twitter users now. This is not public dissemination. <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/ottpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ottpoli</span></a></p>
Eric Goodwin<p>I guess the fascists have a majority on Ottawa’s city council <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/ottpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ottpoli</span></a><br><a href="https://ottawacitizen.com/news/ottawa-city-council-x-vote" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ottawacitizen.com/news/ottawa-</span><span class="invisible">city-council-x-vote</span></a></p>

Eric Goodwin<p>Aparently my MPP finally realized there’s an election. An obvious statement from someone who doesn’t even know most of the riding and who has never done anything about it <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/ottpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ottpoli</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/onpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>onpoli</span></a></p>

Eric Goodwin<p>Aparently the liberals and the conservatives are both pitching Metrolinx taking over Ottawa’s LRT construction. Are you even serious. Metrolinx couldn’t build a brick of dirty money in a paper bag on time and on budget <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ottpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ottpoli</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/onpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>onpoli</span></a></p>
Eric Goodwin<p>Oh good. The worst and most offensive BIA gets t tax more local businesses to do whatever the hell it is they do. Which is mostly campaign for more parking and less anything interesting. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ottpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ottpoli</span></a><br><a href="https://obj.ca/sparks-bia-replaced-downtown-bia-expanded-boudaries-brand/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">obj.ca/sparks-bia-replaced-dow</span><span class="invisible">ntown-bia-expanded-boudaries-brand/</span></a></p>
Eric Goodwin<p>I’m sorry. The fucking mayor of ottawa and some shitstained councillors were at a campaign event for goddamned Ford. Fuck right off.

Charles A-M<p>Strangely I find myself agreeing with Luloff here: <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/council-passes-2025-budget-with-3-9-tax-hike-1.7408013" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/coun</span><span class="invisible">cil-passes-2025-budget-with-3-9-tax-hike-1.7408013</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/OttCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OttCity</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/OttPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OttPoli</span></a></p>
Charles A-M<p>Today two things happened:</p><p>1. My op-ed in the <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Ottawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ottawa</span></a> Citizen was published, in which I rant about the inability to successfully report problems to the City/OC Transpo: <a href="https://ottawacitizen.com/opinion/report-a-problem-city-of-ottawa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">ottawacitizen.com/opinion/repo</span><span class="invisible">rt-a-problem-city-of-ottawa</span></a></p><p>2. I heard back from OC Transpo (via my Councillor&#39;s office) that they&#39;ve fixed their web feedback form and are working on further updates per my suggestions. (Apparently you *can* select &quot;O-Train (Trillium Line)&quot; for Confederation Line issues)</p><p><a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/SqueakyWheel" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SqueakyWheel</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/OttCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OttCity</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/OttPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OttPoli</span></a></p>
Charles A-M<p>Hey <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/OttPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OttPoli</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/OttCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OttCity</span></a> folks, I remember a number of City budgets ago, likely under Mayor Larry O&#39;Brien (2006-2010), that the City cut its budget for proactive traffic inspectors to instead rely on citizen reports of issues. Does ANYBODY remember this, and can anyone find a specific report/article/etc. about this decision?</p>
Charles A-M<p>@ctvottawa@toot.community tldr: keep speeding in inner urban areas with minimal consequences (except the occasional death/serious injury) <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/ottawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ottawa</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/ottcity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ottcity</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/ottpoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ottpoli</span></a></p>
Charles A-M<p>@ctvottawa@toot.community ah the community thay voted to slice every possible dime off their tax bill are ruffled that decisions are being made without consulting them. Consultation costs money. Too expensive under this mayor! <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/OttPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OttPoli</span></a></p>
Charles A-M<p>In which the councillor for <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Ottawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ottawa</span></a>&#39;s Ward 12 (Rideau-Vanier) says some remarkably stupid things about the councillor for Ward 14 (Somerset) in the newspaper for Ward 15 (Kitchissippi). </p><p>Page 16, bottom of col 1: <a href="https://issuu.com/greatrivermedia/docs/kitchissippi_times_september_2024/16" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">issuu.com/greatrivermedia/docs</span><span class="invisible">/kitchissippi_times_september_2024/16</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/OttPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OttPoli</span></a></p>
