Good morning, Ottawa. You have a new MP in Bruce Fanjoy 🍁 Pierre Poilievre’s 21 year run as Carleton MP ended last night. Bruce brought it home. #cdnpoli #CanadaStrong

We recorded this episode of The Better Ottawa MuniPan yesterday, working on very little post-election day sleep. Ottawa is the reddest it’s ever been, so what does that mean? And we may have chatted a teeny bit about Bruce Fanjoy 🍁!!! open.substack.com/pub/the613/p/m… #ottnews

I am the proud mother of a #Harvard international grad who is now making a difference in the U. S.. Jewish, to boot. The United States has truly lost its way.

I live 6.5 km from Carleton University, and am fortunate to be a 10-minute walk from Tunney’s Pasture Station. I left home at noon, and still sitting on a Trillium Line train waiting to depart Bayview Station. This is not convenient. We spent billions on our LRT systems - we need

I see a need for a huge investment in Canadian research and university funding down there at the bottom of this chart

Excellent accountability reporting from ⁦⁦⁦⁦CBC News⁩’ ⁦Dan Taekema⁩. It is not acceptable that he had to use FOI legislation - and fight through an appeal - to obtain reports from a public institution. #ottnews cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

Well this is interesting… #ottnews cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

BREAKING: A man has died and a child was sent to CHEO after an “active water incident” near Westboro Beach. #ottnews kitchissippi.com/man-dead-child…

This story infuriates me in a number of ways. First, that the city's planning staff could be MORE THAN $1M OFF-BASE in what it wanted to charge applicants. But mostly, I am angered that this Council -- which seems to be in love with discussing stuff in secret -- went in camera

The Better Ottawa podcast took our lively Ottawa City Hall podcast on the road this summer - to discuss all things Lansdowne and take advantage of the drinking-in-parks pilot project! There is a lot of skepticism in this crew on the financial premises of Lansdowne 2.0

This bonkers un-democratic situation likely could have been avoided if the municipality held a byelection (as they should have with more than a year in this term): cbc.ca/news/canada/ki… #onpoli

I have to agree with those who say that it is shameful that teens have to pay the full freight on OC Transpo. A very short-sighted Council decision that will do little to encourage lifelong transit use. cbc.ca/news/canada/ot… #ottnews

A generational opportunity is moving forward! The National Capital Commission & Ottawa Senators have finalized the land sale on LeBreton Flats — paving the way for a world-class events centre and a vibrant, mixed-use district that will drive economic growth, celebrate culture, and revitalize our downtown

A must-read for anyone who’s interested in how municipalities work and the challenges they face right now.
