New data shows that very few cyclists and pedestrians are using Queen Elizabeth Driveway when it's closed to cars. Watch this video as a great example. When I recorded it yesterday afternoon, not a single pedestrian or cyclist passed me for the entire two and a half minutes. Lorsque...

Is this for real? The multi-billion dollar train doesn’t work and you’re recording videos about cyclists. This is embarrassing.

I’d be happy to return cars to QED if you’ll remove cars from my residential street, and any other street that doesn’t have drivers on it for 2.5 minutes in the middle of the day. Do we have a deal?

The two minutes you spent making this video could have gone towards far more important things that actually could have benefited this city. Your little war of words with the NCC does nothing to improve the lives of people in Ottawa

100%. It makes no sense to close a road to cars in order to accommodate absolutely no one. The NCC's decision to close Gatineau park to cars means I can get to Algonquin Park faster than Pink Lake. I'm tired of being pushed out of my own city. Reopen the roads.

1) If you think of it as a road, you see a lack of cars. If you think of it as a park, you see greenspace, peace and quiet. 2) If drivers are so inconvenienced by the transition of this space from road to park, it's bc overall there are too many cars in this city.

So what? Lots of roads don't always have drivers on them either, but they're still available to drivers. Please stop trying to claw back what little space we have in this city for car-free active use.

Maybe ? But then again it’s a Tuesday afternoon while most people are at work and school. So maybe not much of an indication of anything.

If you think José Mourinho's rants are wild, his first ever rant was completely insane. In 2000, Mourinho had only 8 career matches as a coach, when his Benfica player, Sabry, called him out in public. Mourinho's reply was crazy. "It's not easy for a coach to like a player who has an absurd average of offsides per game, that doesn't know how to position himself, that runs away from the pressure in away matches, that in the last few games was 3 times one on one with the goalkeeper and didn't score a goal, that at half-time, when I'm more aggressive, goes to the secretary to complain and say he's afraid of me. It's not easy for a coach to like a player like this. Then he says I never speak with him and the relationship is not correct. I have a little book about my individual meetings with the players, everything is there. With Sabry, who says I never speak with him, I had 7 individual meetings. Not one, not two, seven. And of the seven meetings, three of them were in the past 4 days. I spoke with him, but he doesn't like the things I tell him. Then he says that playing only 20 minutes in a match is little for him. Well, the only time he played only 20 minutes was against Paços de Ferreira, when he took 8 minutes just to put on his boots. Sabry left me a message via the media, so I feel perfectly confortable leaving him a message via the media as well. So I want to leave a message to Sabry and to the fans: This is Benfica, not Paok Salonica [Sabry's former club]." José Mourinho was a head coach for a little over a month. Insane😂

I pick up issues that have a larger impact and need correction. It can be about false claims (IIPM) or degree mills of India (DL Programs) or targeting vulnerable job seekers (Bada Business) or now misleading young 15 year old kids (exam prep). It is neither against a company nor a single individual. When IIPM closed, very few know that about 100+ such institutions partnering with state universities shut shop too. When we started talking about big Edtech and educators turning to click bait marketeers misleading children - I felt outraged. They had scant regard for student or the law of the land. They were not even acting. It was giving a wrong direction for an entire generation. It tells students that studying through the year is a waste and they may as well wait for the exam day at 4 AM for paper leak and try their luck. For me, it was Simply unacceptable. My team started with Physics Wallah, Moved to Adda 247, moved to Next Toppers and covered a few in between. We covered wrong claims, abusive language, sexual innuendos and everything in between. It was about bringing a semblance of an order. We are also in touch with CBSE and ministry of education. A few FIRs are healthy for them too😉 Though I read and internalise criticism, I rarely respond. I never talked of the educators teaching ability. They are very good teachers. However, When Prashant Kirad of Next Toppers feigned innocence, I had to respond. I am happy to be corrected. I am better informed. I will respond with facts on every one who points fingers. I will also quickly apologise if I am wrong. No egos. Prove me wrong. Or correct yourselves. The choice is yours. Do watch my response. NextToppers_Shorts 2.0 NextToppers_Shorts 2.0
