My son and his partner are briefly in town for the holiday, so we did a quick family outing to the Farm! The livestock were their usual delightful selves. I'm grateful today for the beauty of this city, family, and the support that surrounds me in my current undertaking. Happy Thanksgiving, Ottawa.

While my team canvassed beautiful Kitchissippi this morning, a few of us got out to Orleans to distribute literature and get me on the doors for a few hours. Absolutely perfect election weather!

Huge night in Millennium Park where St. Patrick and St. Matthew renewed their Saints Bowl rivalry in front of 800 people. I could only stay for a short while, but saw some great ball with a lot of looks. We need more of this.

I canvassed for a couple of hours with Cat last night after an already fairly wild day. After the canvass I declined a ride home to enjoy a “quiet bus ride home not talking to anyone.” That didn’t work out, but I’m glad someone caught this pic. This has been quite a journey.

On Friday morning, Catherine and I joined a group of Kitchissippi women who meet regularly for fellowship and caffeine. We enjoyed the hot seat, taking their questions on transit, housing and provincial/city politics.

The Kitchissippi Times was at Parkdale Park. I'm sorry, I missed this artist's name and would be grateful for it: her KT paper box painting was delightful. Always great to see Catherine, as well!

Wandered yesterday's Taste of Wellington event with Natalie - what a perfect day for it! It was a joy to see everyone. I had a chance to say hi to Kai Hussey whose art Joanne Chianello has used for her campaign: he was barely a tweener when I met him on my first campaign and has done so well!

It is actually a by-law in Ottawa that if you’re in Stittsville you have to see Glen Gower. He is everywhere in that ward! Glad to run into him this morning as my canvass got underway. To those seeking to win that election: you’ve got big shoes to fill…

Rural Ottawa deserves more than empty promises. Our rural communities need reliable roads, transit, recreation, emergency services and infrastructure. But Sutcliffe’s plan doesn’t come with the funding to deliver them.

Line 1 rider were stuck again this morning. For the people who rely on transit to get to work, school, appointments and home, “stuck” isn’t a minor inconvenience. It means being late for work, late to drop off your kids or late to get to an appointment. Ottawa needs a transit system that works.

One of the events I started and continue to support is a picnic in Parkdale Park for residents of a nearby OCH community. We always have too much food, and it becomes a bigger neighbourhood event. Cody, Anthony, Kindam (and Sagal before her), Nathan and Cheryl: thanks. Another "my last" :(
