'Affordability and convenience.' Except for healthcare. And groceries. And house prices. And rents. And pretty much anything that isn't booze- related.

In my case, I’m pretty sure it was quite a few people.
I have one of those personalities where there is no grey area… you either really like me, or you really don’t.

#COVID day 10: I feel about the same as yesterday, but today I am back to work (Note: I WFH).
Current symptoms:
Brain fog
Inner ear issues
Congestion
Cough
Fatigue
No appetite
Taste buds are on the fritz

The most interesting thing about the #JapaneseGP was Bernie Collins commentary.

'The job of an Opposition leader is to criticize the government, we get that. But it's not to fear monger'

Trudeau claps back at the increasing lies and divisive rhetoric by the Conservatives in Canada.

#COVID Day 9(?): I have tested negative but still feel like 💩 (weakness, breathlessness, cough, congestion, altered sense of taste, no appetite). Hubs has been feeling fine for the past 3 days, but continues to test +. This virus is so unpredictable.

#COVID day 7: Feeling so much better! Not 100% (maybe 70%), but definitely feeling much less sick and exhausted. The plan for this weekend is rest before heading back to remote work next week.

If this was a normal week, I’d be at the barn grooming and tacking up a horse to ride. But it isn’t a normal week. I still have COVID. I can’t stand for more than 10 mins without becoming breathless and weak. This isn’t just a “bad cold” - this virus is serious.

“Sutcliffe says he accepted Ottawa Tourism’s invitation to SportsPro Live before he knew it coincided with the April 21 London marathon.”

OK, then show us the ‘receipts’ and this goes away.

Otherwise, this stinks.

(And who pays the extra hotel nights?)

There needs to be an Integrity Commissioner investigation now into this potential conflict of interest by the Mayor.

You can make a formal or informal complaint to the IC yourself here:

I honestly didn’t think Ottawa would see a shiftier mayor than Watson, but Sutcliffe has really risen to the challenge. The man is just sus.

'I don't see any conflict here or any need to speak to the integrity commissioner about it.'

That's really not how things are supposed to work.

A refusal by Mayor Mark Sutcliffe to show his marathon entrance letter is all the evidence I need to know there is an Integrity issue. It would reveal no personal data. There is only one reason to refuse to show it. #OttPoli

Jeff’s being kind when he refers to these two as “mediocre”

#COVID day 5: The Paxlovid has helped me feel less like death & some of my symptoms have abated. However, a new symptom has appeared: I can’t really taste my food, which is kind of a bummer. Hoping this is temporary. Hubs is better than he was yesterday, but far from well.

Ottawa is not a serious city. This place is a joke.

Of course the cost of getting to London and staying in London are not costs associated with participating in a marathon in London. ottawalookout.com/p/mayors-trip-…

Do we really think there’d be an Ottawa tourism mission to London this year if Sutclifffe weren’t running in the event?
