As do #Toronto #Ottawa (well, in Ottawa, it's 3 trains). Canada's best is #Vancouver's Canada Line. Fast, frequent, and gets you close to gates from downtown in 25 minutes for about five bucks
If you're still masking in #Ottawa, or North York, Regina or surrounding areas, and you wear medium sized masks, the government surplus site has a load of N95s you can nab for free - but only if you can go and pick them up in person. https://www.gcsurplus.ca/mn-eng.cfm?snc=wfsav&sc=ach-shop&jstp=sly&hpsr=&hpcs=5555&vndsld=0&saleType=A&srchType= (look for the Medicom SafeMask Architect Pro N95 Surgical Respirator Masks) #Canada #MaskUp

I listened to the committee meeting where this was debated in #ottawa and one councillor was snidely dismissive of calling Musk a “n*zi” and that we can’t control speech in this way, others had nothing to say but voted the motion down anyway cuz they don’t have the capacity to argue either way I guess, and others complained about the cost to switch etc. The city just started podcasting to try and reach more people, twitter is not essential at all #canada #cdnpoli #onpoli https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/halifax-council-votes-to-discontinue-using-x-1.7504940
CBCHalifax council votes overwhelmingly to discontinue using X platform | CBC NewsThe move comes after a staff report highlighted concerns with X politically and following debate on its effectiveness as a communication tool. It only applies to the eight accounts overseen by corporate communications staff on behalf of the municipality.

The sweeping generalizations never seem to get interrogated, like Pierre saying he’ll get rid of “woke” and yet what is happening before our eyes down south won’t happen here cuz it’s hyperbole right? It’s not serious right? It’s not supremacist and racist at its core right? Cuz not “all” supporters are these things right? Let’s continue minimizing cuz it can’t happen here. Or that the CPC have their own 100 day move fast and break shit plan? Fuck #canada #cdnpoli #ottawa #onpoli
It’s an interesting aspect of so called “strong-men” that they universally seem to like the fucking sledgehammer. A+B=C over and over and over because people and societies are complex and we are string through with nuance, and our existences are multi-faceted but there is none of that in men obsessed with power and unparalleled confidence in their tiny little belief systems. Just fucking sledgehammers that destroy everything #cdnpoli #canada #ottawa #onpoli

“Mr. Szuchewycz [Longest Ballot group] said they had also intended to sign up dozens of candidates in Liberal Leader Mark Carney's neighbouring Nepean riding.
The group didn't have enough time to organize because Carney only announced where he'd be seeking a seat the weekend he triggered an election.”
CBC · Longest ballot protest targets Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's riding
Over 80+ Independents have grossly expanded the candidate list in Conservative leader #Poilievre's Carleton riding, in hopes that voters won't recognize Liberal Bruce Fanjoy's name on the ballot.
At least 16 of these "long ballot" candidates listed in #Ottawa Carleton also ran in #Toronto-St.Paul's, which caused that longtime Liberal riding to change to Conservative.
Bruce Fanjoy has also had 300++ signs stolen or defaced.
Boy #Ottawa really fell apart tonight
"Majority governments aren’t always a good idea, but for this 2025 Federal election it’s an absolute necessity for our economy, our sovereignty, and our democracy.
Anything less and Pierre Poilieve will continue to disrupt parliament and slow down the progress dealing with Trump tariffs."
On the other hand, if everyone in #Ottawa Carleton were to come together and vote for Bruce Fanjoy we might not have to listen to Mr #Poilievre in the House of Commons again.
