Younger voters want a city that engages them and makes them feel like their voice matters. The Leiper campaign is good at doing that and it’s attracting a lot of young volunteers.

Cynical goodies and empty promises make me angry and Evan explain why they work on so many people. I’m still angry.

If the Nanos numbers from yesterday carry to election day, that’s a big problem for Jeff Leiper.

Ottawa's final advance-voting numbers are in: 27,553 ballots over four days (Oct 1–4). That's 75% more than 2018 (15,754) and just 1,416 short of 2022's record (28,969). Woot!

I think polls underestimate how disappointed people are with Mark Sutcliffe — even if they choose to vote for him again.

Brigitte Pellerin @brigittepellerin.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Before advance voting turnout numbers started showing up, Evan and I discussed the importance of advance polls. We disagree, which makes it more interesting, not less. I think I’m right. What do you say?

Brigitte Pellerin @brigittepellerin.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

It’s pretty cool that Elections Ottawa publishes stats day by day. We don’t have those for 2022 or 2018, but we can say that the total after two days in 2026 (13,578) is 86% of 2018’s entire four-day advance polling (15,754) and a little under half of 2022’s four-day total (28,969). I like it.

Who’s got the best line of the campaign so far?

@evanhpotter.bsky.social is not impressed by the surprise promised by the Leiper campaign that disappeared without a trace, or explanation.

Coming up on the pod: a new way to see the campaign. It’s Neil/Alex vs Jeff/Mark.

If you're coming for beer with @evanhpotter.bsky.social and I at Big Rig in Gloucester Centre tomorrow at 6ish, there's a reservation under my name. See you there!

Come chat municipal politics with Evan and I at Big Rig (1980 Ogilvie Road) this Friday Oct 2, starting at 6ish pm.

Evan Potter and I are actively seeking friends to come chat municipal politics with us this Friday October 2 at Big Rig in Gloucester Center. I'm aiming for 6ish and Evan should be there by 6:30.

What if the US invaded? I discuss this part of PM Carney’s interview with @lefthandstu.bsky.social

A little back and forth with @lefthandstu.bsky.social on that weird Poilievre answer to the question of whether he thinks the PM acted in good faith on the trade negotiations.

The overwhelming feeling this election is a generalized lack of enthusiasm about our options.
