It seems local #ottawa #Nepean MPP Lisa MacLoud was in favour of the keffiyah ban at Queen's Park...not a good look for her.

And now she's refusing to attend the celebration of the appointment of the failed PC Kanata-Carleton candidate to run the "PC Ottawa embassy".

It's either an unlikely leadership warmup or she's going to resign...or maybe just her usual sloppy politics.

Young #Ottawa co-founders of a #free #OnlineTutoring service for elementary school #students have expanded their project nationally.

Andrew Mery & Michael Plamondon, the #Nepean HS students who launched the #YouthTutoringProject last year, opened a branch of their web-based #educational venture in #Toronto in January & now also operate one in #Vancouver.

The project began in March 2023 as an effort to fill a #learning gap caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Last year I created a food map of the #Ottawa Merivale Road area. I counted a lot more places than I had expected. This year I recreated it, with an overview of who’s new and who’s gone. Spoiler alert: Italian is decreasing, Asian is growing.

Read more in my latest blog, including an updated map which includes two safer #ottbike suggestions: https://hansonthebike.com/2024/02/08/food-map-merivale-road-2024/

#Nepean MP Chandra Arya spoke yesterday with a gushing welcome for Sinn Fein Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O'Neill.

It's a strange dissonance with Arya's recent support for Hindu nationalism.

Irish nationalism good, nationalism for non-Hindu Indian groups bad.

#Nepean MP Chandra Arya spoke in parliament on.... strengthening Modi's Hindu nationalism in Canada?

The more I read about this the worse it gets.

I'm so disgusted by #Nepean MP Chandra Arya that I might even vote for a Conservative candidate to get rid of him, if it's looking close.

Power outage in this part of #Nepean #Barrhaven at about 0340. Long enough to exhaust some UPS batteries and set them a-beeping.

Weather doesn't seem to be the cause.

Maybe it was planned and Hydro #Ottawa didn't bother to notify anyone, POS utility that it is.

Anyone else in #Ottawa #Nepean experiencing a #fibe Internet outage? Ours went dark this morning. Finally got some details from support, apparently damaged fibre, could take two days to repair. Good thing I have a decent data plan on my phone.

From the counter at Frank's at Fisher & Meadowlands, or as I like to call it "The DiRienzo's of #nepean "

Excellent sandwiches.

Only order in Nepeanean, if you order in #ottawa Downtowner you'll be shot.

After languishing in Erlanger, KY for a week, the package has suddenly appeared on the local #Nepean truck at 5am. Too early to have come on the FedEx flight from Memphis, which didn't land until after 7am. So maybe it was on yesterday's flight in from Memphis.

Seems unlikely that it came on Cargojet via Hamilton, as they don't fly a route near KY.

It could've spent the week on trucks, but went a long way in the wrong direction.

I'll try to scrye the stickers when it arrives.
