also this isn't to vilify suburbs either. i love suburbs! but as someone who grew up in kanata, i was turned off transit early on and never found myself downtown. 10 years ago i probably would have voted in favour of more roads, more parking, etc. because good transit in kanata is a pipe dream.

anyway, all this to say. it's disappointing that ottawa had a chance to really try to move forward as a city, at least giving a new perspective a chance. but as per usual the city thrives on stagnancy and will remain decades behind its counterparts.

ottawa is afraid of change because they've never really seen it (at least not that i can remember). the city is so sprawling that you're asking people deep in the suburbs to vote for issues that (majoritavely) they don't experience on a day to day basis.

and like yes, it should absolutely be basic decency to think about people outside of yourself. but ottawa is like five cities within one city. voting for something (or someone) that could benefit one contingent could mean voting against something that would benefit "your own."

the elections volunteer at my table said "young ladies are allowed to skip the line. we need more young ladies." and then when i handed him my letter to shred he cradled it against his face before throwing it out. anyway, hope you guys all voted.

i really feel for canucks fans who now have the pressure to match ottawa’s “return of the ex” energy for quinn hughes. that man is a saltine cracker. what’s the chant gonna be? “you don’t blink”???

I am completely blown away by the Lars Eller standing ovation. Just pure crystalline concentrated Hater Shit. With apologies to JG Pageau and his Ole chant, Sens fans giving Lars Eller a standing ovation on Brady Tkachuk night is now the funniest thing Sens fans have ever done. I'm in awe.

tim stutzle after the game: no there's no message, we're just playing our game and he's a good player tim stutzle before the game: i hope he fucking chokes

to be fair, we could have been chanting “stutzle’s better” even when brady was on the team

The main difference between this and the Tavares return game is that Sens fans are fueled not just by hatred, but also by being very very funny

sorry it's actually hilarious that amazon had that video of zetterlund deadlifting locked and loaded

stutzle is an obvious hater but we mustn't overlook claude giroux as a sniper in the same category

Tim Stützle on Lars Eller: he is an angel, a king, a god among men, the sun shines from his ass, he can cure cancer and achieve world peace, his smile lights up the world, his voice is like moonlight.. Tim Stützle on Brady Tkachuk: never heard of him

showing my support for the new captain the best way i know how (missing tonight's game for french class)

Tim Stützle being like no I didn’t see Brady I have a private chef and then going on and on about how great it was to see Lars Eller and how much he misses him is pure comedy
