Did you see this? I mean, maybe if the world wasn’t in shambles I’d be on board. Maybe if I wasn’t worried about the price of food, housing, and life in general. #Albany knows it’s not #NYC and they are fine with it.

CBC'The city fun is about to remember': Meet Ottawa's new nightlife commissioner | CBC NewsMathieu Grondin has been named Ottawa's new nightlife commissioner, and is already promising to reverse the city's reputation as a sleepy burg that rolls up the sidewalks at night.

I just found out that there's a #EU citizens initiative to connect all EU #capitals by #HighSpeedTrain.

As someone who lives in #Berlin, and still has family and friends in #Amsterdam, I would love this to happen.

I refuse to take the plane for such a small distance, and there's no way it should take 7 hours by train.

The initiative can be found here: connect-capitals-hsr.eu/
And you can sign directly here: eci.ec.europa.eu/035/public/#/

Please sign, and share.

"Under European law, the European Commission is obliged to commit to our goal to connect #Europe’s capitals through #HighSpeedRail if we collect at least 1,000,000 signatures of EU-citizens."
