Is Sutcliffe aware that he has been the Mayor for the last 4 years? He could have done any of these promises whole he was Mayor but didn’t because he was too busy licking OSEG’s and the OPS’ boots.

Sutcliffe's infrastructure plan is so much smoke & mirrors as he is handcuffed by his 2.5% tax cap. He expects to finance some of this through $250 million from "savings" but doesn't tell us what is to be cut. Add on his bus pass cut, his 350 new first responders - clearly magic is in the air here.

I got a response to my Freedom of Information request regarding the LRT upload: There were no communications between the OCTranspo head, the mayor, the city manager or Metrolinx re the upload from March 1st to 26 September 2026. There is no $4 billion deal with the province.

The US media is describing the Draganfly drone deal as a "TAMPA-BASED" company getting US investors (Don Jr. & a secret company) to expand US capabilities while feeding on a contract with the Canadian military. Why are we using taxpayers money to support US interests? tbbwmag.com/2026/09/28/t...

Poilievre accused many asylum seekers at Canada's land border of fraud. Attempting to enter the country on spurious grounds. But his own uncle-in-law is a rejected asylum seeker whom sought assistance from Poilievre's wife in 2021, Le Devoir reports. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/08/n...

It's hard to know who’s a ‘genuine’ asylum seeker. Just ask Anaida Poilievre’s uncle.
Even though the Conservative Party leader often denounces so-called "fake" refugees, his uncle-in-law is one of many who took the Roxham Road — and is a rejected asylum seeker.

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

His 2.5% tax increases are not covering police budget increases at about 4.4% a year on average. 2026 was 6.7%? So what is the police budget going to be in 2027 with Sutcliffe in charge, and, where is he nickel and diming the other things we need in the name of “#SafetyTheatre”?

Eleven minutes to lie about the fact that the world price of oil crashed in 2014 and permanently altered the market. Eleven. Minutes.
Andrew Scheer

Why are there more pipelines approved in conflict zones than here in Canada?

Over the last 10 years, why did energy companies pour billions worth of investments into unstable countries, while pulling out of Canada?

Bad Liberal policies. Those laws remain on the books. 

And the politicians who authored them still sit around the cabinet table.
