Ottawa police issue 36 tickets during school zone safety blitz The Ottawa Police Service says officers handed out 36 tickets during a safety blitz at 18 school zones in Ottawa last week.

Ottawa's speed cameras issued more than 1.1 million tickets from July 2020 until they were shut down in November 2025.

But sure... 36 tickets and loads of in-person human hours in 18 school zones are a reasonable substitute.

Imagine if there was something more efficient in school zones that ran 24/7 and didn't require in-person human hours.

Oh yeah... cameras.

In Ontario, a long list of high risk conditions makes many Ontarians eligible for Covid boosters, starting today.

You can find more information here. Please share this information with people in your life at risk of severe Covid. They might not even be aware that they are or that they're eligible.

East Texas liver recipient meets family of organ donor that saved his life According to the family, Armando Olivan’s donations benefited more than 70 people through organ and tissue transplants.

You'll need a tissue for this emotional meeting.

In the dark moments when a family learns their loved one is dead, organ donation is a silver lining. They are proud of their loved one's final gifts.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Alberta parents of trans youth stood at the legislature yesterday: their children are being harmed by anti-trans policy.

Supported by Queer Momentum and led by Fae Johnstone, I managed media relations to help ensure these voices were heard.

My nephew Cameron got a letter from
@canadaslifeline.bsky.social: he has a rare Ro blood subtype that can help patients with Sickle Cell Disease.

He says he can’t take credit for genetics. But he can take credit for booking an appointment and donating.

‘I feel really lucky’: St. Thomas girl recovering after receiving lifesaving liver transplant from stranger Melissa Deardon was scrolling Facebook when she saw a cry for help from Ryan Wagg. The St. Thomas father was desperate to find a liver donor who met the criteria for his 12-year-old daughter Lily.

HART Hubs are funded by the province. Some consumption and treatment services became HART hubs.

Not sure about treatment facilities.

For the Ford government, the cruelty is the point.

(Closing the supervised consumption site in my community has made things so much worse.)

Because we had 7+ days without power after the tornado and then again following the derecho, every second neighbour has a small (or larger) generator now. We're on the smaller size, but we can charge things, and run the fridge and furnace. Would not be able to run the AC in the summer.

Yaaaay!

So ready for this temperature shift. Meanwhile, Dori is a burrito in her heated blanket.

I am so ready.

Plasma donation has arrived at the Carling Ave Canadian Blood Services. Maybe you've wanted to try donating plasma (a huge help to liver friends), but didn't want to drive to Orleans. And, it just so happened to be a Somerset West CHC blood drive today ❤️ Today was my 43rd donation.

She never does 🔥👑

Sounds like we should run, Alex.

🔥🔥🔥

I remember that sketch! And it’s so very true. Best we’ve got is -5C forecast for Monday.

“Yellow warning for cold ended” notification.

It’s still -30°C with the windchill, but the days ahead look way more reasonable. A balmy -6 coming up.

Oh no. I hope they will be OK.

I hear you. All those feelings are so real during these super cold days. The sun is pretty bright and kinda feels nice too.

There's no longer any question: it's time to compensate transit riders for what they're going through. These pictures are heartbreaking - people going to evening shifts, home and family, class.

So jealous! All the cool kids are getting these.
I went to two @opl-bpo.bsky.social branches today and was too late.

Dog o'clock!
