Ottawa spends over $5 billion a year — with surprisingly little scrutiny. That needs to change.

BetterOttawa.ca The City keeps "fixing" transit, so why does it keep breaking? See my comprehensive plan to rebuild transit in Ottawa.

Who Really Runs Ottawa? City Hall is broken. Fixing it means taking on the cronies and power brokers who think they own this city.

I agree with Mark on this point.

Thanks Lucy for articulating clearly what so many of us were thinking.

Thanks for jumping in, Councillor. I hope the mayor will do the same, and call out these unnecessary personal attacks between Council members.

Neil Saravanamuttoo (@neilsara) Mayor Mark Sutcliffe says he has found a quarter billion dollars of savings and efficiencies in the 2026 Ottawa city budget. Are these really savings, or just the ravings of a guy trying to get re-ele...

Don't fall for the Marksplaining
