Humpday Wednesday! #humpday #wednesday and it's here!!! Weeeee! #gay #bear #gaybear #lgbt #queer #ottawa

@edbilodeau weird journalism – they never bother defining what a "live fly" is. One assumes there's a dead fly that also happens occasionally? Or just a plain fly maybe, which is more sedate?

@stephanie HYPE!!! Have a great time!!!

@jfmezei For sure, the number is for trains in lines 1 and 3. They do mention the model in question“Yes, we're adding 38 new Alstom Citadis Spirit trains to keep service frequent and smooth as the network expands.[…]”What’s confusing is that the train count is only listed for the eastern extension. There’s no mention of quantity for the western extension.I doubt they will, but it’s possible they will rotate trains while 1 West and 3 are still being built.

@jfmezei I’m quite aware of that… hence why I’m asking.It would still be an extra-sardine class in Montréal, at midnight!

@jfmezei @jerome J’ai fait un peu de “sleuthing” à mon retour - tant qu’à être dans la ville.Il n’y avait pas de train entre Blair et Trim… cependant, toutes les zones de travaux ont été pas mal levées.

Why isn't the "free market" automagically fixing this unrentable glut of overpriced rental housing?Are the landlords not afraid of the vacant unit tax? How many have gone bankrupt and had their assets liquidated to return to the market at viable pricing? Are they buoyed by subsidies, low rates, and favourable laws to be able to wait it out too long?https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ottawa-housing-a-frozen-market-committee-hears-9.7188707#ottawa

@hamishb Probably true. Poilievre's people, I call them. I previously snarked about the land of weaponized flags that loosely follows highway 7 from PP's (former, lol) Carleton riding and cuts a diagonal line through Eastern Ontario and ends around Oshawa. This is home to his most rabid devotees and the path of the proposed Ottawa-Toronto high speed line. So yeah, he's suddenly so concerned about land appropriations for a mass transit service now when he doesn't give a damn about them if it's for an oil pipeline project that benefits on handful of private bank accounts out west.Sorry, am I ranting? Yes, I think I am.
