Well, it happened.

I was biking on QED—specifically, the section of the @NCC_CCN’s Active Use program—and a driver came up behind me and laid on his horn. He did this aggressively, honking for a couple seconds. I caught up with him after he turned onto side streets in the Golden Triangle. When I pulled up beside him, he started swearing at me profusely and threatened to “put me in the hospital,” among other things.

I’ve noticed something lately: @cmckenney’s Twitter feed keeps reporting places they’re door-knocking around the #OttCity, whereas @_MarkSutcliffe’s Twitter feed keeps reporting businesses and personalities he’s visited.

So I looked into it. #OttPoli #OttVote Here’s a list of neighbourhoods @cmckenney’s been canvassing in recently:
- Kanata 8/30
- Lowertown 8/27
- River Ward 8/23
- unspecified 8/21
- Alta Vista 8/20
- @OCH_LCO 8/18
- Knoxdale 8/16
I may well have missed some here, but you get the idea.
