Ottawa is a city in desperate need of accountability. The mismanagement on the #OttawaOccupation , the #OttLRT , the massive mistakes on the #ClimateCrisis and developer influence will be atoned for this year.

All three provincial appointees to the @ottawapolice service board have resigned, according to the Solicitor-General's office. This after @QPbriefing reported that member Robert Swaita attended the truck protest in Ottawa. This is a mess. #OttNews

Catherine McKenney is going to raise more money than Jim Watson did in the 2018 election. The key difference? Catherine is going to do it with grassroots donations and without the $200,000 that Mayor Watson took from individuals connected with the development industry. #Ottawa

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to Capital Ward residents and Ottawa supporters who have put their trust in me to represent our ward at the City Council table. Congratulations to all candidates who put their name forward.

If a politician comes to your door this municipal election, ask them what they did for #Ottawa while the city was going through the convoy occupation. It’s a simple test, were they there for our city when it mattered most?

I’m so sad to hear about Jenn Casey and the snowbirds crash tonight. She was such a kind hearted, smart and driven person. We spent a lot of time together years ago at Carleton University res. I’ve been going through memories and found an old poster from when we ran for RRRA.

The reason we are here is because of a complete failure to prepare for this. Ottawa Police rolled out a welcome mat (“remarkably peaceful space to grieve”) while not intervening, or cordoning off residential areas or towing vehicles, all while being thanked by the Mayor. #Ottnews

. @JimWatsonOttawa to @CFRAOttawa just now: SITUATION AT THIS POINT IS COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL BECAUSE PEOPLE WITH THE PROTEST ARE CALLING THE SHOTS. OUTNUMBERED #ottnews

“Bus service is already bad so let’s cut LRT service too.” “Renters are struggling so let’s cut services and keep taxes artificially low.” Sigh. It is a trying city council meeting today.

@cmckenney @OttawaPolice Yup. Time to ticket and tow all the vehicles instead of finding places for them to park.

The #Ottawa solution of “Build More Roads” to solve for congestion is expensive, ineffective and harms our environment in a climate emergency. #Ottnews #ottcity

Congratulations to @Eli_ElChantiry on his appointment as chair of the Ottawa Police Services Board. He has a tough road ahead of him, but I know he is up to the challenge.

I have some great news. The Bank Street Bridge (over the canal) will see the two outer curb lanes dedicated for pedestrians and active transportation. Should happen in less than a week. More discussions to come on other areas of Bank Street. #Ottawa #ottnews #covidottawa #ottwalk

In some cases this is in real time, where the evidence to refute what is being said is displayed for all to see. In some cases we are seeing active facilitation by authorities of illegal activities (such as new encampments, fuel resupply, allowing vehicles back in to occupy)
