Doing spur of the moment #CleaningTheCapital with the kids, I don’t know who I’m more annoyed with:
- the people that collect their dog poop and then pile it by a light post
- the person that wrapped up disposable diapers in little bags and then tossed them beside the path I assume as part of their routine
Either way this feels like this city has far too few public garbage cans and too infrequent collection.

This is a bidirectional #bicycle path that goes underneath one arm of a roundabout to avoid conflict between peds, cyclists and cars. Why not a bridge, you may ask. A downwards slope creates momentum that you can use to go up at the other end.
Was wondering when that last notable #earthquake was for us here in #Ottawa. I remembered it as a M5.6 but the records say it was a M5.5.
Funny, we're just a week short of the 23rd anniversary! I can't believe its been that long.
I guess we also had a M5.2 in May, 2013 as well. That's probably the last one I felt, twelve years ago.
Mark Carney called it back in 2022 during the #Ottawa occupation when Pierre was delivering donuts.
"No one should have any doubt. This is sedition. That’s a word I never thought I’d use in Canada. It means “incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.”

I've heard the garbage truck coming,
coming down the road,
picking up garbage,
and I'm stuck in suburban prison
counting the garbage bags today!
Apologies to youknowwho

Despite the ‘Ye Olde Farme paper bag 1875 fonts” look and feel this is still just a plastic bag with 8 apples.
