Hinterlands Who's Who - The Northern Flex Post #ottbike

Is there a map of the vote for Mayor McBeigePants across the city yet? Well, the 38% who were brave enough to vote.

#autowa voters… DUI, that’s ok, it could have been me ☑️

Kate Harrison claims Mark completed 95% of his last campaign promises????

The American owned Sun is promoting a vigilante as the face for Canada's most multicultural and open city. This is same American owned paper that said crack-smoking Rob Ford should be elected mayor. Toronto - you're better than this. Let's get out the vote for Olivia Chow.

Today is voting day, Ward 10. Polls are open until 8 p.m., ottawa.ca/vote. If getting in is hard, call 613-580-2660 for curbside voting. Proxy form certified by 4:30 p.m. Last election 20,078 stayed home; 2,118 votes decided it. Make yours count. #Ward10

Toronto driver not sure where to park after city removes bike lanes

Vote for candidates who ride their bikes to work.

Upsetting to hear about the pending closure of the OGC. I am quickly reminded of the $1-billion gap for Recreation and Cultural Services identified in the 2025 Asset Management Plan. Which Ottawa recreational facility will be next? This is what austerity looks like. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Libraries, community centers, parks; these are all public places paid for by our tax dollars and many are at risk of closing, are under maintained, lack contemporary accessibility, or durability upgrades so that they continue to serve the public. 2.5% tax increases and lack of vision don’t cut it. 

Our city council voted to accept twenty percent less, not zero, twenty percent less. So, they’re ok with some deaths. Until they’re impacted, it doesn’t matter to them. It inconveniences drivers, and that’s a no-no. #autowa

It’s 7:17 pm so today is not over yet

Mark Sutcliffe says, I’ll download something to the province or upload it, I haven’t figured it out, but trust me, I’ve got a balanced plan that doesn’t impact people driving

It might take a #BattleOfBillingsBridge approach. Pedestrians take over intersections. Major ones. Fuck the driver. In a hurry, too fucking bad. #autowa

I’m going to get right to work - you’ve been at work for 4 years

The Mamdani administration says it will dramatically expand an effort by his predecessor to install speed governors inside city-owned vehicles, rising from 1,000 today to 3,000. buff.ly/SUR2xQP

This person parks their bromobile here every day @ottawabylaw.bsky.social #autowa

Far too much of this going on in the neighbourhood chats at election time

Another life lost on Ottawa roads today. I'm feeling pretty fucking helpless but something has got to change out there. If you have not voted yet, please go look into your candidates' positions on road safety, and then VOTE, DAMMIT.

Welcome to Ottawa, you could be the next pedestrian killed

Another pedestrian death on our streets, 4 in the last couple of weeks. Safety in the Byward Market people talk about. What about safety just walking anywhere in this city? #autowa

Mark’s grasping here. @jleiper.bsky.social is not some rando, he’s been on city council and understands the complications. If anything is certain, it’s how Mark did little towards the claims he made last election cycle? Never mind this election cycle. Just me using “cycle” likely makes him mad.

Just went out for an errand 4 km away on my bike. Had a driver swing over to cut me off before an intersection, then continue straight; a driver stop in the bike lane in front of me and then reverse toward me; a driver going through the intersection with a phone at eye level in his right hand;

Police don’t have a clue what to do here, they have botched other deaths involving heavy vehicles. Also, Danielle Naçu, a driver’s car's door opened into her and she was thrown under a passing car. The driver got a $110 Highway Traffic Act dooring ticket and nothing more www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This Sutcliffe sign next to the crappy patches is chef’s kiss.

Enjoy your comfy couch on wheels #autowa #DistractedDriving

A woman and two children have been rushed to hospital after they were struck by a driver while crossing a street in Oshawa on Wednesday morning. 🔗

This was 1 lane, not even the whole intersection #autowa

Three. People. Today. Three people hit by drivers in Ottawa. TODAY. That we KNOW of (cause the minor crashes might not make news). What are we doing.

28-24 - we’re so close, but still a lot of work to do…

Here’s a few minutes of me just hanging around ONE intersection in #autowa. Pedestrians were hit near here this morning. I said, I’ll hang around until a driver doesn’t break a rule. But I had to eventually leave. @ottawapolice.bsky.social has suggested we all just DO OUR PART. Because they won’t.

After the pedestrian carnage at Bank/Riverside area I hung around thinking, “I’ll leave when nobody does some sort of traffic infraction” - I have too much video to process. It’s simply unbelievable. Not to drivers, they don’t GAF. But anyone else, it’s mystifying. I’ll try to make a video. #autowa

New hashtag drop 😂 #autowa -> #autowassholes

NEW EPISODE: "Doug Ford Versus Toronto's Bike Lanes." The Ontario Premier is making good on his threats to rip out Toronto's cycling infrastructure. But people aren't taking it lying down. @cycletoronto.bsky.social @ecojusticecanada.bsky.social join us to discuss. podcasts.apple.com/lu/podcast/d...

It's crazy how often you hear about "bikes on the sidewalk" when this is the actual reality in NYC

Come on #OttCity, let’s do this. Let’s make #OurBestOttawa @jleiper.bsky.social for mayor! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Does anyone know precisely where the two pedestrians were hit on Riverside near Billings this morning? #ottWalk #autowa

Today's the day folks! If you don't want the minority Seperatists making decisions that WILL AFFECT YOU, then you need to get out and vote. #VoterApathy is the only way they get anything. Do your part #GetOutTheVote #ABPoli

False information about voting rule changes is spreading on social media originating from the Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre area. Electors voting in person must vote in their electoral division for advance voting. Please report disinformation to social platforms and Elections AB.

Hmm - looks like his platform is all for nought

Last night we welcomed Noah Derksen back into our home to share his songs and stories. We share a Winnipeg heritage (note a tiny Red River Cart in the cabinet behind him). Lots of laughs and tears from his lyrics and amazing covers. His latest album, “Mercy on the Skyline,” is great! Thanks Noah.

Sure, park in the bike lane... make the 4 year old go around. Just gonna be a minute.

🎶 Have you driven a Ford.. like this 🎶

Tommy was not very smart and thought he could pull one over on the actual smart person

You know, there were fucking drivers behind the wheel of these vehicles @ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social ?? #autowa “On Thursday, a 78-year-old woman died from her injuries after being struck by a vehicle in Sandy Hill. On Wednesday, a 60-year-old man was struck by a vehicle and killed in Barrhaven.”

Why isn’t parking allowed right inside the stadium?

And @mark-sutcliffe.bsky.social doesn’t think it’s very important as a campaign statement. Hasn’t talked to the families of the dead individuals that I know of. #autowa in general, couldn’t give a flying f word so long as their commute isn’t impacted. He runs his runs, mostly on NCC paths. All 👍
