Only one day until Mayor Mark Sutcliffe and 15 Councillors vote to saddle Ottawa with half a Billion in debt for Lansdowne 2.0.
Also remember that the next municipal election is in 2026.

Hopefully voters chose a person for their leadership and values, not their party affiliation
Sadly some politicians don't have values or want to lead when it's hard, they just do whatever it takes to win. The answer isn't an expensive by election, it's an engaged and educated electorate.

This is shaping up to be big. A mass movement of people telling City Hall ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
To stop throwing away our money. Stop endangering the Charge.
WE NEED YOU to show up so Councillors think long and hard, and understand the consequences, before voting for Lansdowne.

There are lots of egregious acts (like when Mulroney packed the Senate to force the GST into law) but floor crossing isn't one of them. Politicians should be able to exit a party when it's vision or policies are toxic
The cons love affair with the far right will likely lead to more floor crossing

is interrupted by Councillor @timtierney.ca while asking questions on Lansdowne.
Menard pushes back, then Tierney calls him an "asshole". This behaviour is unbefitting of a councillor, and demands an integrity complaint.

As women's hockey climbs to new heights, the City of Ottawa says think smaller | Opinion
PWHL executives Jayna Hefford and Amy Scheer write that it's not too late to change the story on Lansdowne 2.0.
Lansdowne 2.0 doesnβt give Ottawa what it needs. The plan is built around the limits of a public-private deal that leaves the city with hundreds of millions in new debt for a project that wonβt serve residents well.

Who says it was fine. Studies show a dramatic improvement in pedestrian health outcomes with lower speeds.

Multiple organizations have their logos included at the bottom, from left to right : Horizon Ottawa, Better Ottawa, Reimagine Ottawa, Strong Towns Ottawa, and Free Transit Ottawa
We're part of a group of organizations taking part in a rally this Friday, 8:30 am, against Lansdowne 2.0.
If you're against the cuts to affordable housing, the lack of public transit improvements, the huge amount of debt that will be taken on and reduce spending for other priorities, join us!

Our @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social styles himself as a savvy businessman and at one time seemed to view everything through that lens ("is there a business case for this bike lane?"). Now he's head cheerleader for a project that only works if you accept best-case-possible projections 50 years out.

Worth nothing some important facts about this plan: property taxes are integral to financial numbers and depend on taxes from the towers being used to offset the costs, rather than going towards all city revenues; thatβs not how property taxes work anywhere else in city 1/

It still haunts me that this work was delayed because austerity budgets meant that the city didnβt prioritize it. And then it took an extra year of inter-jurisdictional wrangling with the province and the feds. Saloni should be alive. With proper road design, accidents are less likely to be fatal.

The Auditor General recently released her second sprint audit for Lansdowne 2.0. The risks are very concerning and if realized will lead to tens of millions more in costs for the city of #Ottawa.

Does Ottawa need another arena? Why arenβt we talking about the 67s playing at Lebreton?
Oh right because this isnβt about sports it is about the profits of real estate developers who threw a fundraiser for the mayor even though he claimed he would take no developer donations.
