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

Reminder that the city of #ottawa 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 #ontario #onpoli

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 #ottawa #drowning #kids

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

PSA: (and a question). #ottawa and #ontario 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 #kids #ticks

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 🤷‍♂️ #ottbike #ottawa #biketooter
