That's weird. I tried IKEA first and they died super quick too. Only thing that makes sense to me is they are somehow overheating which doesn't make sense since they weren't fully enclosed and room temp is normal.

Maybe I've give them ago again, it was 5+ years ago I tried them.

This drives me nuts. I only buy Philips LEDs now since the others only seem to last a year, which is infuriating.

Why are people so hell bent on increasing city sprawl? It's so pathetic. Allowing four story buildings in the suburbs should be a no brainer IMO.

I like it here too, but I'm not sure why you think there's a level of privacy?

This picture is crazy to me. Where was it taken? It looks like they're in a restaurant?

In more ways than one...

 

Yeah, fuck this guy.

 

It's so obvious what's he doing. He will use this as pretext to shutoff StartLink.

As someone who has seen first hand how this teams helped alleviate stress, this just makes me sad.

 

Housing — denser, taller and cheaper — will be the the hallmark of a revamped Tunney’s Pasture in a plan unveiled by the National Capital Commission at its January board meeting.

The NCC’s federal land use and transaction approval (FLUTA) plan will lead to a “full transformation” of the Tunney’s Pasture property, NCC chairperson Maryse Gaudreault said when the board approved the plan on Jan. 23.

It calls for less office space in keeping with the federal government plan to cut its footprint in the city by 50 per cent, and between 7,000 and 9,000 new housing units, with 1,400 to 1,800 of them to be considered “affordable” under the city’s official plan.

That’s a steep jump from the 3,400 to 3,700 housing units envisioned the last time the NCC’s did a land use plan in 2014. And it’s a staggering reduction in the number of public servants who work at Tunney’s Pasture.

For some reason youtube just recommended to me this 15 year old video, and ohhh man am I glad it did.

 

Something, something, broken clock.

 

This better just be rage-bait. Otherwise, wow is this person out of touch.

 

New COVID-19 vaccines designed to target current variants are now available at many pharmacies in Ottawa.

...

Several Ottawa pharmacies contacted by the Ottawa Citizen said they were now administering COVID-19 vaccines, which they received earlier this week. At least one said they were still waiting for supply.

The updated vaccines were approved by Health Canada in September. In Ontario and some other provinces, previous versions of COVID vaccines, targeting older variants, were destroyed before the new ones would be made available. That meant no vaccines have been available in the province for weeks of a significant COVID wave.

...

A spokesperson for Ottawa Public Health said it was awaiting shipment of the COVID vaccines so it could begin administering in its clinics, but it expected to have more information next week.

 

TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the province is planning to increase speed limits on 400-series highways across the province.

The government increased speed limits from 100 km/h to 110 km/h on six sections of provincial highways in 2022 after several successful pilot programs that first began in 2019.

Earlier this year, the province raised the speed limit on 10 more sections of highways across the province, including a 70-kilometre stretch of Highway 416 from Highway 401 to Ottawa.

Ford said Wednesday that he had directed Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sarkaria to raise the speed limit to 110 km/h on all 400-series highways “where it is safe to do so.”

 

Ottawa's photo radar cameras have issued a record number of speeding tickets to drivers this year, as the city of Ottawa continues to expand the automated speed enforcement program in community safety zones, school zones and "high speed locations."

New data shows the 40 photo radar cameras have issued 229,105 tickets in the first seven months of 2024. The automated speed enforcement camera program resulted in 220,789 speeding tickets in 2023, 127,939 tickets in 2022 and 80,944 tickets in 2021.

Twelve new cameras have been activated so far in 2024, and work is underway to install 20 new photo radar cameras(opens in a new tab) across the city by the end of the year. Staff have estimated the city will issue one million tickets a year through the photo radar and red light camera programs.

The busiest photo radar camera is on King Edward Avenue, the busy road for motorists travelling between Ottawa and Gatineau over the Ottawa River. The camera issued 36,210 tickets in the February to July period.

The 10 busiest photo radar cameras in Ottawa in July

Orléans East-Cumberland Coun. Matt Luloff was charged with impaired driving earlier in July. How will the legal process unfold and what does it mean for Luloff’s future as a city councillor?

Luloff, a second-term councillor, also serves as Ottawa Public Library Board chair and was the Conservative Party of Canada candidate for Orléans riding in the next federal election until he stepped down from that candidacy on July 10, citing personal reasons.

According to the charges filed in court, Luloff, 40, was arrested and charged on Saturday, July 6.

He was charged with two counts related to impaired driving, the filing shows. The first charge alleges Luloff was operating a motor vehicle while impaired. The second charge alleges that Luloff, “within two hours after ceasing to operate a (vehicle) had a blood-alcohol concentration that was equal to or exceeded 80 mg of alcohol in 100 mL of blood.”

The allegations have not been tested in court.

Luloff’s defence lawyer, Lawrence Greenspon, signed an “enhanced designation of counsel” on July 9. That means a defence lawyer can appear in court on Luloff’s behalf.
