It was fun while it lasted. It hasn't been fun here for a long, long time. Blame the narcissist boy wonder for that.

Hoping "MAKE OTTAWA BORING AGAIN" catches on. #yow #ottawa #OttawaOccupied It's always been boring in a good way. The comfort food of cities.

cbc.ca/listen/live-ra… So I hear some of the claims in STOLEN FOCUS by Johann Hari about sleep in particular are being debated and challenged. I think those quibbles aren't important. 1/2

When the brain's been injured, the body requires 1/3 more calories so the brain can repair itself. Sleep repairs not just our physical bodies but also our minds. And trauma hijacks our brains. 2/2

Well. Now the world knows precisely how dysfunctional #Ottawa #yow city council is under Jimbo's "leadership." Engineer a coup in leadership of the Ottawa Police Services Board during a crisis: that's leadership for ya. SMH

I am blown away by two things today: 1. the courage and dedication of CBC Ottawa journalists. I would be scared to death if I were sandwiched between the "Freedom" occupiers and the police. 1/2

And 2. the restraint of the police involved in the removal action. I cannot imagine how hard it must be to not respond with anger to the verbal abuse and nonsense these occupiers are dishing out. #Ottawa #yow 2/2

I also want to see the same level of restraint from police at lawful demonstrations (and even unlawful occupations such as this one) that involve Black and Indigenous protestors.

Not only does this seem unnecessarily vindictive altho no surprise from this mayor (these vehicles aren't proceeds of crime), how will the #Ottawa #yow occupiers pay their fines if we remove their ability to earn a living? cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

I hope, as one of the CBC security consultants said yesterday, that the Ottawa Police response can become a model of how to restore order without violence.

The definition of irony (and of biting the hand that feeds you): Kenney's going to sue the federal government for imposing the Emergencies Act - after asking for federal help to clear up the mess at the Coutts, AB, border crossing: cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Just finished Eula Biss's ON IMMUNITY. Third of hers I've read. It's not so much that she's an impressive writer (she def. is). It's that she's an impressive thinker who presents the reader with nuanced layers.
