Ottawa’s world class five year old LRT where you can come check out the grime corner, admire the duct tape, and take in the smell the sewage at parliament station on the way to check out parliament or the other sights. #Ottawa

Forcing workers into the office isn’t the same as “asking them to show up for work.” Workers show up for work every day, whether from home or the office. The Liberals would rather have public servants sitting in traffic than spending time with their kids in the morning.

A woman running to deliver better for her struggling neighbours. A mother standing up for schools & support for our kids. A person who sees problems- addiction & mental health crisis - & delivers solutions ALL out for Amanda. Come to the County! amandarobertson.ontariondp.ca

Not only did the Ford gov't cancel the wastewater program, they lied about why. There was no federal deal when they killed the program. It could still be operating. Your health is just not their priority. #ONpoli ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…

Wait wut… does this undermine the budget hole and motion made at council this week?

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump just said that dictatorships are stronger than democracies. Donald Trump loves fascists and has openly admitted he will be one the first day in office. Retweet so all Americans see this alarming moment.

Greenbelt corruption scandal, a secret Ontario Place deal, PC donors get rich along Highway 413, blowing $billion to get booze to more stores a bit early (before an election), Ford’s story about the Science Centre closure opposed by the facts & so much more. Let’s vote them out.

“…there was also fierce opposition, especially from businessmen & shopkeepers who were convinced it would mean the end of their business. In the end, it turned out they were wrong.” How Groningen invented a cycling template for cities all over the world. theguardian.com/cities/2015/ju…

On the delay of Trump's sentencing: The actual non "political" answer would have been to do it in September! His attacks on the justice system have led people to try to avoid appearing political...by giving him special treatment. It's perverse. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/185707…

1,350 on hallway stretchers, 250,000 on surgery wait lists, only 3,000 new hospital beds planned of 16,000 needed, frequent ER closures, funding less this year than last. Isn’t alcohol in convenience stores just pixie dust to distract us from our deteriorating hospital system?

Central parties tightly control nominations, and hold the legislative keys to change federal elections law. That’s why some campaign veterans say fairer nominations will require party members to push back against leadership. #cdnpoli buff.ly/3TgZ4so (unlocked)

Spending my morning with the FCA-FAC Ottawa to learn more about planning and zoning in #Ottawa

Lansdowne 2.0 is not really about fixing aging infrastructure. And it's certainly not about building the housing we need. It's about bailing out a failing OSEG business model. (1/4)

If you think that Ottawa taxpayers should have a say in whether we spend half a billion dollars on Lansdowne, sign the petition calling for a referendum betterottawa.ca/lansdowne/ (3/4)

Incredible reporting from Clarrie Feinstein: soaring insolvencies among Ontario's developers mean a growing supply gap in new builds, buyers losing everything and a looming wave of mergers and acquisitions. Caution: The big players *will* get much bigger. thestar.com/real-estate/mo…

🚴A neat view of cyclists this morning crossing the #LionsGateBridge for the RBC GranFondo. Northbound lanes blocked along the causeway and bridge until about 8:30 AM. 👀Watch for them along #BCHwy99 today between #Vancouver & #Whistler. #SeaToSky🚵 🚲Yes, that's a spin club on

A very good thread on poor transit service - a real situation here in Ottawa. #ottcity #OCTranspo

Being an advocate for women's rights feels like Groundhog Day. I'm often being interviewed by the exact same people, on the exact same topics & feel like I'm just repeating myself. I wrote this in 2018 & I easily could have written it today. fashionmagazine.com/flare/violence…

Worth the listen, particularly about the City's upcoming 2025 Budget Directions report. Leiper minces no words in condemning past low tax increases that leaves the City unable to meet needs. #ottcity

Change starts with taking care of each other. No more broken promises and cuts. It’s time for a government that cares for its people. And it starts now.
