This has been the worst Winterlude ever

Just walked through the protest on Parl Hill tonight and I spoke to two guys carrying fuel containers past police. The Police Chief said protestors would not be allowed to bring fuel to tricks but these two said police aren’t bothering them at all. No enforcement. #cdnpoli

Normalize actually taking scary situations seriously 👏👏👏 Does anyone have any more information on this? It was shared on ⁦@Convoyreport⁩’s Instagram page.

to everyone new to Ottawa, this man is not part of the trucker convoy, please be nice to him 😭

Centretown Update (Metcalfe & Nepean): It feels like the first weekend again. Horns honking, flags waving, and streets loaded. Not sure if yesterday’s announcement had any impact really.

What’s the opposite for progress? Is it- is it this? #Ottawa

Geography note for non-Ottawans: Wellington Street isn't Parliament Hill. Kent Street isn't Parliament Hill. Bank Street isn't Parliament Hill. Slater Street isn't Parliament Hill. Metcalfe Street isn't Parliament Hill. Rideau Street isn't Parliament Hill. O'Connor Street...

Gas Jerry cans rolling into Protest Village tonight as I watched. Police watched the guy pull it by so clearly the Emergencies Act so far hasn’t changed the attitudes of either side. #cdnpoli

On an Ottawa downtown street corner.

Positive vibe check: at an Elgin pub surrounded by locals, Johnny Cash covers, and fresh brews. I missed this…and I love this city.

Hi hello resident of the secure zone here, Please do not come in to centretown from other areas of ottawa to reclaim the streets. I understand the symbolism of gathering in unity in the shadow of the peace tower, just please give us some time to recalibrate with peace and quiet

“⁣Our city saw, felt, and faced things over these past three weeks that are so hurtful it’s hard to even repeat. These disgusting attributes were present within hours, but took weeks to be taken seriously. Not only were they present almost immediately, they stayed.”

I VERY much feel you on this

It’s that first day of spring kinda fresh in Ottawa today 🍁

Today was my first outdoor walk (that wasn’t to the Farm Boy half a block from me) since January. It started as a leisurely stroll down Elgin and ended up in Chinatown. I guess I needed it 😅

It’s feeling exceptionally old cozy uni sweater with leggings out there today

Without a doubt, BarrocoMtl. I’ll never forget sharing their prime rib special on New Year’s Day in 2016.

Friendly reminder there’s A LOT going on this weekend in #Ottawa: Sep 22 - 25: Carp Fair Sep 23 - 25: Asian Fest Night Market Sep 24: Hogwarts Express Experience (Smiths Falls) Sep 24: Orleans Oktoberfest Sep 24: Taste of Wellington W Sep 24 - Oct 31: FrightFest at Saunders Farm

Friendly reminder that it’s okay to road trip just for a #poutine. Don’t let anyone tell you any different.

You know what they say? Braids and beers or Germany didn’t happen.
