Depressed—and a bit shocked, tbh—that OttPubLib/BibPubOtt has to ask for donations. How many City services are more essential than libraries? I guess this is what years of low property taxes and car-first policies gets you 🫠 #Autowa #OttCity

Montreal has announced that all space and water heating will be fossil fuel free in new buildings by 2025 cmm.qc.ca/communiques/em…

Mr. Carney said instead of subsidizing one more battery plant, he would have directed the federal purse to pay for a million-plus heat pumps for people who need them most. “Some of these choices need to be more deliberately directed at people,” he said. theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

By 2026, 4.4M people in Ontario will not have access to a family doctor. Meanwhile, Doug Ford and Sylvia Jones claim “there is no concern of a diminished supply of physicians” in our province. So, what’s really going on here? 🧵 (1/7) #onpoli #onhealth

A few days ago at a @betakit conference I spoke on the on the 🇨🇦 government's proposed changes to the capital gains inclusion rate. Afterwards, a # of people approached me asking for more clarification on my views. Here we go...

So you can set up a “f@ck trudeau” rally and camp out for months in Ottawa, the border or on the side of the hwy , but two days of “Free Palestine” and they send in the Billy clubs? Since when does our freedom to protest depend on which side of the political spectrum you’re on?

I voted NO to the govt’s bill to subsidize Enbridge to expand fossil gas hook-ups because there are cheaper alternatives for consumers like heat pumps and because we are in a climate emergency. Ford chose to support gas giant Enbridge, Greens chose to support the people. 1/4

Ford wants to force people to be hooked on expensive, dirty fossil gas. But heat pumps are cheaper and cleaner. That’s why more people are installing heat pumps than gas furnaces in the US. That’s why heat pump sales are growing by 40% in the EU. Ford is imposing higher costs

Today is the 11th and final day of Ottawa’s famous Tulip Festival, and still not a single word on here from our mayor Mark Sutcliffe about it. Maybe because he slashed the funding to this major tourist event that brings thousands of people to Ottawa every spring?

NEW: Government by Gmail: Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s chief of staff used private email for “political discussions,” Global News has learned. We’ve viewed emails that show how government-related business is being conducted on Gmail. globalnews.ca/news/10523523/… #onpoli

So Doug Ford is slow walking $10 a day childcare but can privatize booze sales at the cost of $1B in days. People need to wake up.

Did Mayor Sutcliffe write this? 8,921 people completed the 2023 survey and 88% were satisfied with the QED active use program and over 90% supported the active use program in Gatineau Park, on the Kichi Zībī Mīkan and the Sir George-Étienne Cartier Parkway. #Ottawa

$1.1 billion over 95 years is an average of $11.6 million per year. With the government reportedly spending more than $1 billion in up-front costs, this is a return on investment of barely 1% #onpoli
