Ottawa’s mayor having a vanity podcast when we have bigger priorities is not great… But the Podcast is presented by the Ottawa Board of Trade and the Ottawa Business Journal!?!? Call we stop selling out to business and think of residents for a second?

I regret to inform you that allowing cars on Queen Elizabeth Drive did not fix traffic. When will Ottawa realize that cars don’t scale?

By now you probably know that LRT line 2 is delayed until at least October, but if you only read official communications you may have no idea. 400 words and no simple or direct sentence on the delays, only spin. Ottawa has a duty to be open and transparent with residents.

With Lansdowne 2.0 approved, it’s time to talk about how to improve the area. Many say Lansdowne feels suburban, boring, and too corporate. 🧵Thread on why Ottawa’s Lansdowne Park is boring, and just feels “off”.
