This is such a half-measure. Also, does it not extend into Centretown or Old Ottawa South?

Freezing rain is on the horizon, #OttCity and it is important to be prepared.

Hiring proofreaders, @ottawacitizen.com ? Breaks -> brakes.

I.e., it sounds like this is around GandhiCon 1.

This reminds me a little of "GandhiCon": First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

And it is infantilism.

I can't understand how any office could get this wrong. All you have to do is a little web search.

Whereabouts is this park?

(And that's bypassing the question, should billboards on benches even be a thing?)

Perhaps if the price of advertising here included the obligation to look after it, \CreativeOutdoor.com would have an easier go of renting it.

You've missed my point. I'm not surprised.

It just seems so obvious, doesn't it? At Davos, Carney invokes Thucydides; a month later, Poilievre catches up with a hail-mary citation of Aurelius. And other parts of P's spch read like TLDRs of earlier statements by C. If this were h. schl, P. would now have his desk turned away from the others'.

I'd reckon that it might not have 'come after'. How many of the team would have not gone or not wanted to in any case? Perhaps this just provided a plausible way out.

I believe the salt cellars in QuΓ©bec taverns were there by law, to keep beer drinkersβ€”especially farmers who had been sweating their salt out all dayβ€”from getting dehydrated. They could shake some salt into their beer and thus keep a little more water. As a bonus, salt also revives flat beer.

Sure. First, navigate to Preston and Carling. Then, report back.

You're arguing in bad faith. "An" apartment building, no. But the high ones degrade and insult a neighbourhood, and that does, in turn, have real effects on persons; i.e., it hurts them.

13.02.2026 15:35 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Yes. But if you oppose the cause, doesn't it also make sense to oppose the effect?

This is called speaking figuratively.
