Biked by Britannia Beach today with 2 fire trucks, 5 cop cars and 3 paramedic vehicles all lights and sirens blaring. Apparently a neighbourhood kid is in critical condition after presumably being found unresponsive in the water. Fuck I hate this. It’s so common and yet so easy to avoid and I’ll stake my claim that the beach is one area where phones should just be banned. It takes no time for shit like this to happen with aspirated water in the lungs

Update: a 9-yr old kid was pronounced deceased at hospital from Britannia Beach. Ahhhhhhhh fuck. This country needs a national education system that isn’t cops scolding people about not boating drunk. Maybe Kevin O’Leary should be the face of it. Oh wait, he’d make his wife take responsibility for it again

@WTL ya that part is the worse. I’ve never had to resuscitate anyone (knock on wood) but I’ve assisted people in the water and the silence is eery

This isn’t a shit on other parents / holier than thou from me. I’ve sat at the beach. I’ve watched others for a long time at the beach. And I’ve used my phone while sitting at the beach, though our kid doesn’t swim there. 30 secs isn’t that long. What’s 45 seconds right? It’s like driving and using a cellphone. I’ve done it and now I don’t. Ever. Driving or at a beach with the kid. Shit happens so fast #ottawa #kids #drowning

PSA: (and a question). and pulled two ticks off the kid after a hike in Gatineau park. And you NEED to check all of the little ones, especially parts of genitalia you can’t just visibly check. Both of these dots are ticks but unsure what kind. Does anyone know if there is a drop off location to get these tested? Lymes disease is shit and the risk increases a LOT after 24-36 hrs attached

@5ciFiGirl @AndrewHenry @futurebird fascinating and given the long term effects (have a friend who has Lymes disease) the body basically attacking itself makes sense

Nothing radicalized me more than living without a car. I firmly believe it’s a literal and metaphorical vehicle for the future. It opens you up to your community. It can make you feel joy when there are many days right now where it’s conflicting to feel joy.

I think more people should become radicalized. Life is a lot different, a lot better, change is scary and every fucking minute of it is worth it #ottawa #ottbike #biketooter #worldbikeday

Reminder that the city of likes to unilaterally decide when summer starts and ends. Has Britannia Beach been packed for weeks already? Did a 9-yr old just die? Yes. Will this change the city’s approach to funding how the city operates in an era where it’s much warmer for longer? No probably not. The speakers mentioning no lifeguards are on duty are like speed signs. Meh, that’s enough

Wow. What a nepotistic pit of local rich folk and developers did the mayor swim in. Gross. https://www.ottawaathome.ca/living_article.php?articleID=934&src=theottawan.com

Some closed NCC pathways on the south east side of Bells Corners on a morning just trying to make new connections west of us and south of us.

From Bells Corners and the Trans Canada Trail going east, I’ve never spent much time. All the roads down there scare me to be honest. I just dont trust people and not knowing where decent shoulders are makes the exploration slow. Yes Google street view etc but my capacity for planning only goes so far 🤷‍♂️

@Hansonthebike would be nice to be able to cross there “one day” with a cargo bike, without having to detour on roads to mooneys bay or bank street bridge (never using Bronson, let’s be real)

I subscribed to the Criterion Channel streaming service a couple months back and wow has it become my go-to streaming service.

It has so so much good stuff that I don't think I'll ever run out of movies to watch.

@casseagull same. They’re cutting us off early July soooo bye bye. Not really going to do anything to fill that gap as of right now tho might do the odd month here or there depending on what gets released but as a set and forget? Nope done

Curious where the marketing / storytelling potential is for companies who do NOT use the various forms of AI, especially given the myriad of issues (water & resources, excuses to cut staff, further enshitification of customer service) etc etc. I bet some smart folks could really do good storytelling around this on brand recognition etc

I'm about 300m from the gas station and used to schlep these on my shoulder home. Now that I have a wagon, I realize I've been too old for that shit for several years now.

I love my wagon.

@jleiper 👏👏 have a collapsing grocery cart that can hold 110 lbs and I’ve used it for groceries, hauling the kid on bus trips when our destination was too far for him, bike cleaning water jugs (condo building) but want a (collapsing) wagon for winter!

@jleiper I appreciate this forward thinking

The kid turns 5 whole ass years old tomorrow. Thinking back to 2019, it feels like a different universe back then.

This image forever makes me laugh as a friend told me it made the daily media briefing at Parks Canada 😂

Hey OC Transpo announced this morning that you can now pay for with an Interac Debit Card. This is in addition to being able to pay with a credit card or mobile pay on any bus or LRT station
