Friends, it’s time to check-in on Ottawa’s nightlife!
As I reported yesterday, Ottawa’s second hottest club, Wellington St, was undergoing renos but they’ve gone bigger than I could imagine
They’ve added a massive big screen behind the DJ, to accompany the VIP deck #ottnews
This goes without saying, but Wellington St has everything.
Postal service, ear protection and even satellite TV.
I wonder if the Super Bowl will be on the big screen on Sunday… #cdnpoli#ottnews
It’s raining tonight but that hasn’t stopped Ottawa newest club, O’Connor’s, from opening!
O’Connor’s has been functioning as a daycare normally, and even got a visit from the police yesterday to offer the parents help from child services. #cdnpoli#ottnews
Earlier tonight the police cleared out all the firewood and put out the fires on Kent st at a camp set up on the street.
I was there when this happened and I’d say about 30 officers were there to clear it out #cdnpoli#ottnews
When the second fire was put out, the top cop and main protestor were talking
You can hear the cop tell the protestors that there is “no issue with propane fuel” and “he’s just trying to help”
Surprised to hear the police are cool with propane fires in the street #cdnpoli
Once the fires were out, the cops moved to clearing a large pile of firewood out. A few protestors tried to throw the wood away but the head of the camp got them to stop.
They brought in two city pickup truck to haul it all away #cdnpoli#ottnews
In the Zello channel for the truckers, one guy says they’re basically homeless cause no one will feed them.
There is a Loblaws an eight minute walk from the Shepards. They’d have sold them food, if they were willing to put a mask on to come in the store #ottnews
I live down here, so I see these homeless folks a lot.
Since the pandemic, I’d say an already large homeless population has doubled, with decreased supports.
When they manage to get a few bucks, they put their mask on, go to the Loblaws and buy some food.
