New from me in @OttawaCitizen today. If @_MarkSutcliffe and the rest of council is serious about supporting local businesses, improving safety and restoring the vibrancy of the Market, they need to do something far more straightforward: pedestrianize it.

French President Emmanuel Macron meets far-right politician Marine Le Pen amid France prime minister talks aje.io/2zj1oh
Readers added context
Emmanuel Macron met with all political leaders represented in the french parliament to discuss the nomination of a new prime minister. He met with most of them on Friday, and others on Monday. The tweet implies Marine Le Pen gets a different treatment. lemonde.fr/politique/arti…

As millions of Christians gather with their families to celebrate #Christmas Eve, there are 100 men, women, and children who have not seen their loved ones in nearly 450 days. When you hug your loved ones tonight, think of them💔 #MerryChristmas

I just want people to understand that despite all the right-wing propaganda, literally NO ONE has died of an overdose at a safe consumption site in Canada because they do exactly what they're supposed to do - prevent overdose deaths. Without them, people will die.

"We need to put Canada first by locking arms with American economic allies on the ground that will put pressure on Washington to do the right thing," says Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre in response to a question on U.S. President-elect Trump's tariff threats. #cdnpoli

Replying to @CIJAinfo and @MarcGarneauCI
They're so obviously saying Trudeau. Cmon guys this is getting ridiculous. CIJA knows that the people aren't behind them so their only way of breaking us is trying to criminalize speech. Enough.

As soon as something isn't profitable the private sector pulls out - this is exactly what we saw when Greyhound left Canada, creating a giant gap in highway bus travel, leaving rural Canadians stranded. This is exactly what would happen if Canada Post was privatized too.

We asked the workers if they were okay and then they thanked us for saying that. Any movement that doesn't care about the safety of workers isn't a working class movement at all. 2/2

Yesterday as I took a bit of a break from the blockade to warm up in a nearby Tim Horton's there was a couple making workers feel uncomfortable by not wearing masks. My friend and I told them to put their masks on if their movement really stood up for workers. They left. 1/2

Are you actually fucking kidding me? The fact that the PM put out this statement is absolutely disgraceful. The riots in Amsterdam were started after Israeli citizens in Amsterdam tore down Palestinian flags and shouted racist, genocidal chants - and were siding with them??

The news out of Amsterdam last night is horrifying. This is a dark moment for our world — and one we have seen before. My heart goes out to the victims, and the entire Jewish community today. Canada condemns this disgusting antisemitism.
