Venezuela - The Lesson for Canada Make no mistake, the attack on Venezuela by the Trump regime is not about removing a rogue leader; it is a deliberate attack on international law.

Canada needs to take see the invasion of Venezuela for what it is - a deliberate attack on the international rules based order. We have a bandit nation on our border and we need to be ready for whatever comes next.

I will support the anyone but Plante candidate in 2026.

Map showing results of the Lansdowne 2.0 vote, with "no" votes concentrated around the urban core. Yes: Brown, Hubley, Skalski, Dudas, Hill, Desroches, Kelly, Plante, Carr, Curry, Gower, Tierney, Kitts, Luloff, Sutcliffe No: Johnson, Devine, Leiper, King, Kavanagh, Troster, Bradley, Menard, Brockington, Lo

Lansdowne 2.0 was just approved by Council 15-10, and it's definitely worth taking note of the geographical imbalance on the vote.

The two out-of-place "yes" votes are Marty Carr (Alta Vista) and Stéphanie Plante (Rideau-Vanier):

Thank you to everyone who wrote to me about Lansdowne 2.0. It passed by 15-10 today, which I know is not the outcome you wanted. I pledge to keep holding the city accountable and fighting for the priorities you really care about.

Ottawa Deserves Redo on Lansdowne 2.0 ottawacitizen.com/opinion/otta...

Today, Lansdowne 2.0 was passed with a 15 - 10 vote at Council. This is going to be an important issue in 2026, and I hope you'll stay engaged with Council in the coming months.

Well that's it. Council has passed the Lansdowne 2.0 plan by a 15 to 10 vote.

At this point Ottawa feels less like a city and more like a taxpayer-funded vending machine for comfortable private interests.

We’ve already seen so many good journalists and other critical voices across Alberta getting singled out one after the next by these long and expensive legal battles

Poilievre promises to scrap single-use plastics ban and bring back the plastic straw | CBC News Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is promising to scrap the federal government’s ban on single use plastics and bring back plastic straws and disposable grocery bags.

I really hope one day she becomes our PM, she's amazing.

There are thousands of Canadians employed by U.S. companies, myself included, ripping up contracts makes for good t.v., but has anyone thought about the Canadian jobs that will disappear? Are Patrick Brown and his prepared to pay my salary if I lose my job?

While America was conceding Europe to the Nazis, 17 and 18 year old Canadians were keeping the Atlantic free and fighting in spitfires.
Their spirit is with us now.
Trump can insult and try to provoke but he has no clue who he is messing with.
This is #elbowsup time.
True. North. Strong. Free.

US tariffs against Canada (and others) are coming regardless of what performative appeasement tactics we take. So the rest of the world must unite. Stop buying US products entirely, when we can. And buy from each other instead. Retaliatory tariffs aren't needed if we act locally.

Hold my smoke, hold my beer, I have to take my shot.

Whenever I curled with my Dad, he would say, "Hold my smoke, hold my beer, I need to take my shot."

Downtown Ottawa resident, clownvoy survivor, and trans rights activist I don't have a lot of good things to say about OPS, maybe if they ticket drivers who stop in the middle of crosswalks, I'll change my mind. Charlie, I've told Chris Dacey to fuck off more times than I can recall, you are a hero!

I live in downtown Ottawa and I can't recall how many times I've told Chris Dacey to fuck off. Charlie is a hero!

I can't recall how many times I've told Chris Dacey to fuck off.

Eff him.

Are you in a Liberal or NDP riding? I get that EO had to scramble to find polling places, but there are hundreds of better locations in my neighbourhood.

Just voted in the Ontario election. My polling place is in an University residence. We have to be to buzzed in by security, there is no signage on the road or on campus directing folks to the polling place. I live in a Liberal stronghold. Is anyone else in Liberal/NDP ridings facing the same issues?

You have the floor, Wayne. Wayne? Hello? We can’t hear you.

A CANADIAN PETITION AGAINST MUSK A Petition from Ordinary Canadians Against the Oligarch

Canadians across the country are rallying behind a petition to revoke Elon Musk's citizenship.
He wasn't born in Canada. He represents profoundly anti-democratic values.
In Canada citizens can present these petitions to Canada’s parliament.
I support them.
