There aren’t many people as courageous as this man…
I wish we had more like him holding politicians to account.

If transit worked, people would ride.
The good news is that we can fix it.

Amazing how quickly this city can work (and on a weekend, too!) when the people who are inconvenienced are drivers. Transit users can fuck right off, drivers are taking that bus lane. ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/c…

@_MarkSutcliffe I would be more understanding if there was actual work being done, but a lane closed with no equipment or personnel on site is ridiculous

The congestion on Highway 417 resulting from laneclosures in the west end is unacceptable and extremely disruptive to drivers and also to residents in neighbouring areas. I've directed city staff to work with the Ministry of Transportation to significantly accelerate the completion of the project and restore all lanes to traffic. And while the construction is being completed, I've asked them to work with councillors including @laine_johnson1 and @tm_kavanagh to implement immediate mitigation efforts to improve traffic flow and reduce the impact on surrounding roads. This must be resolved as quickly as possible.
La congestion sur la 417 causée par les fermetures de voies dans l’ouest de la ville est inacceptable, autant pour les automobilistes que pour les résidents des quartiers avoisinants. J’ai demandé au personnel de la Ville de travailler avec le ministère des Transports pour accélérer considérablement les travaux et rouvrir toutes les voies à la circulation le plus rapidement possible. Entre-temps, j’ai aussi demandé qu’ils collaborent avec les conseillères Laine Johnson et Theresa Kavanagh pour mettre en place des mesures d’atténuation immédiates afin d’améliorer la circulation et réduire les répercussions dans leurs quartiers. La situation doit être réglée le plus rapidement possible.

Don’t worry.. He’s just about to turn it all around. If only he had a safe consumption site. I think I may have saved his life about a year ago.

@Polymarket Andalusia was such a fantastic trip to Spain, when we had gone further towards Barcelona we noticed how terrible things were

Hell yeah!
Look, if the Ontario Liberals can pivot to the centre and advocate for bold reforms, then I’m voting for them. The Ford government has let this province rot for too long.

#REPORT: Ontario Liberal leadership hopeful Eric Lombardi calls for 80% of all temporary residents to be removed from Canada over the next 5-10 years. He added that future immigration must value "cultural compatibility" to ensure Canada remains a "high-trust society."

Fantastic to see more affordable housing in my ward.

Friday. It’s collecting more friends. That will be someone’s home now.

@AlexLawsonOtt What about making our streets safer? Bank Street is a war zone lately. What will you do to support hard working tax payers and give our city back?
English

Ottawa's housing crisis isn't complicated. We stopped building homes people can afford, and we let our shelters become unsafe. That's a management problem and it has a solution.
These are five moves with real targets.

The Capital of a G7 country. This is less than a 2km stretch of bank street. People wonder why businesses are closing, this is not sustainable. We need better leadership, as tax payers we deserve the right to clean and safe streets. #somersetward #ottawa #canada #bankstreet
