I'd like to think that if we had a *decent* bus service that was *free* that we'd see very little need to expand highways in this city. But noooooo we gotta widen roads although we have known for years that does not work. Period. *sigh*

Conservative campaign foot crew is really phoning it in. I was sitting in my living room with my mom, someone walked up to my front door and slipped a conservative cardboard on my mailbox. They did not knock or ring the bell. The cardboard fell off the mailbox onto the ground before I could get out to collect it a few minutes later.
It has a sticky note on it, saying I should call them to get more info.

Made a donation to Joel Harden campaign for #Ottawa Centre. I think he has a very good chance to win, regardless of national polling, and I dislike his opponent.

No point in donating to the #NDP in #Nepean for this campaign. We'll see what happens in the future. There's a decent body of NDP support, neighbouring districts with NDP MPPs. I think the party needs new leadership, ideas, and organisation to have any success here.

Nice to see the temperature stays above freezing for the foreseeable future now, even at night.

Maybe we can get some crocuses and tulips happening around here. Dying to see if we have any of those in the new yard.

A bit of snow in the air overnight, but I guess it won't accumulate.

Person biking on Beechwood was left hooked and sent to hospital recently.

Nobody should risk their lives because they chose to bike to get around and infrastructure failed them.

Have stories about near misses, left/right hooks or other on Beechwood? Send them our way (here or by email).
