In separate but equally significant conversions about local #Ottawa politics this week on here, I have heard that

1) if one has to email their city council member to follow up on a service request that our system has failed, and

2) that I am a "fascist enabler" for not being willing to "scare the shit" out of the Mayor over transportation policy.
