MobilizeHands Off! Ottawa CANADA Fights Back · Hands Off**Donald Trump and Elon Musk think everything belongs to them.**
Canadians, Americans, Ukrainians and others who call the Ottawa-area home are standing up for democracy. Trump. Musk and their enablers are threatening to take over Canada, Greenland and Panama — and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now.
🚨 **On Saturday, April 5th, we're taking to the streets to fight back with a clear message: Hands off!** 🚨
📍 Where: US Embassy, Ottawa 📅 When: Noon-1:30 April 5, 2025
If you choose to register, please use "34567" as your zip code. (This platform is only supporting US zip codes so far.)
This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of democracy and longstanding alliance and friendships for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. We are rallying and protesting along with many across the US and Europe to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the global rise of fascism.
A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

"It backfired on Mr #Poilievre when the convoy squatters, squatted for too long & the rest of #Canada watched in horror as they tormented the innocent citizens of #Ottawa & trashed the city for weeks"

A little allegory to start the day. Designing our cities around superpowers is a terrible idea
Less Car · A Superpowered City - Less CarIn the bustling city of Metropolis, a groundbreaking research project promised to change the world. The project, funded by the wealthiest citizens, aimed to replicate the powers of Superman. For a hefty fee, participants could gain super strength, flight, and other extraordinary abilities. As more people joined the project, Metropolis began to transform. Skyscrapers reached […]

@OttawaCititzen @ottawa-news-OttawaCititzen sounds like #Ottawa residents are generally getting screwed out of fair wages
In Canadian dollars Tern (Taiwanese brand) #bikes start over $4,000 and top out without taxes around $14,500. They’re one of the top e-bike brands in the world. But they’re “bikes.” The #usa arm expects a tariff bill of $1 million fucking dollars on the shipments currently in transit. The #bike industry there is fucked #ottawa #cdnpoli #onpoli https://www.bicycleretailer.com/industry-news/2025/04/04/bike-maker-hopes-avert-unexpected-million-dollar-tariff-charge
Bicycle Retailer and Industry NewsBike maker takes steps to avert an unexpected million-dollar tariff chargeIf Tern’s shipments don’t arrive from Vietnam before Wednesday, or get diverted, the cargo bike brand will be on the hook for about $1 million — cash — in tariff fees. Until this week, the company had planned on zero.

Thursday's commute home.
It doesn't really look like it, but it was a rather toasty 17C that afternoon.
Windy too.

My guess the pathway behind Parliament Hill will be closed for many months to come, it was supposed to open in fall 2024 then spring 2025 #ottbike #ottawa #biketooter
Noticed the new Indian street-food style restaurant has opened on Clyde near Merivale - that weird little stretch between Baseline and Merivale.
They're in the north third of the Denny's building, and serve a fast food selection unusual here. Vada pav is a dumpling in a bun with chutney and such. They also have grilled sandwiches.
Their website doesn't show Ottawa yet, but menus are shown there.

First flower. This area was under my stored snow pile until just the other day. #ottawa
Neat to hear an odd accent from the cashier and end up having a discussion about linguistics for 20 minutes.
We were on Carling and we watched someone in a wheelchair have to turn chair around in order to kick across the intersection and in order to get up over the curb.
