  1. Good news, Ottawa: a fantasy bookstore is planned for this fall. More indie bookshops, more community...and more shelves full of dragons, magic and suspiciously detailed maps.

    My TBR pile has sensed danger.

  3. Mark Sutcliffe is already gunning for Jeff Leiper. And he’s using that old attack dog John Baird to do it for him.
    The race is heating up.

  5. On Saturday, July 25, this private business jet left Colorado, for #Ottawa. On Monday morning it flew over Ottawa. It attracted my attention because of its low flight path and the odd angle it was flying over our house. After flying over Ottawa several times, the C- FPRM flew towards Smith Falls airport. It apparently can land on grass and dirt. After approaches in Smith Falls, it flew to Kars - Rideau Valley Airpark, did an approach there and then returned to Ottawa, where it landed. #ottcity

  7. As Ontario runs commercials promising a tough on crime approach, without evidence our crime rates are already down.

    Possibly the fear of crime because of these commercials are affecting our mayoral race.

  15. RE: mindly.social/@amazon_syren/11

    So many of these points I agreed with. Read her blog post!

    Ecologically sustainable and supportive rainwater diversion and flood prevention
    Summer heat caps on multi-residential buildings and retrofitting existing rental units with heat pumps in service of same
    Renewal of the urban canopy with native tree species
    An up-to-date municipal building code that requires all new builds to include effective, functional heat pumps for all units
    Revitalizing public transit in areas not directly served by the former Transit Way system
    Increasing safe, year-round biking infrastructure in your Ward (or all Wards)

  20. We've been passing by this little hole-in-the-wall place every time we go to Parkdale market and finally we tried them last week.

    Korean Mother's Meals

    We had their vegetarian hotteok and splurged on their new ice dish. The Hotteok was super tasty and very filling with their awesome kimchi and after their ice dish we were stuffed for the rest of the day. Highly recommend!

  22. Trump’s 50% #TariffDeadline is just days away, but their attempt to squeeze #Canada has just BACKFIRED SPECTACULARLY.
    While cable news claims #Ottawa is panicking, @[email protected] and provincial leaders just slyly executed a complete transition into a WAR ECONOMY 🇨🇦

  26. If you're in #Ottawa, consider checking out #ACompanyOfFools some evening in the park over the next few weeks. Free theatre (do donate or buy snacks).

    They're doing "A Midsummer Night's Dream" with occasional musical interludes. More interesting, Lysander is a female role, so you can enjoy a f/f romance with Hermia. (Same script, different facial reactions.) #Theatre #Shakespeare

  28. A guilty plea, a no-show, rescheduled for convenience and discharged of assault charges. After a Swiss man came to #Ottawa and struck a Palestinian woman on video at a weapons fair, he only has to pay $5000.

    We spoke with people who were there.

  30. A rural town in Alberta is fighting #ai #datacentre proposal that would compete with residents for local water and electricity, while threatening the broader environment.

    We look at how the fight is taking place there and what to expect in #Ottawa and #Ontario

  32. one great attraction is the waterfall. more of a trickle in the summer but apparently this is full-blown in the spring. if you follow the trail up the hill (mountain?) you will encounter the stream that feeds the waterfall several times and even have to cross it once or twice.

  33. it is a somewhat challenging trail, with steep inclines at times and a rocky path. You don't need any special equipment though, other than hiking boots.
