Yes, I know the City can't de-amalgamate itself. But we can send a message to Queen's Park that we think amalgamation was a mistake.

If I was running for mayor of Ottawa, I would propose a referendum: status quo or de-amalgamation. It really is the only question that matters in this "city".

Fact check: Is Carney changing the right to strike?
Prime Minister Mark Carney says his government’s proposed set of changes to the Labour Code “absolutely reinforces the right to strike.” Here are the facts.

#OttCity declared a climate crisis in 2019; since then we’ve seen record floods, extreme temp swings and otherwise. What concrete action have we taken? Sure electric buses are taking some load, and LRT could do some, but transit use has fallen due to unreliable service/high prices 1/

Will I vote for Leiper? Yes. Am I enthusiastic about him? Not really, no. Will things get worse if he's mayor? Not intentionally. Will he stand up to OPS? Not likely. Will he be better than Sutcliffe? Of course. Will he offer any bold ideas? Nope. Do I think you should vote for him? Yes I do.

The feds will roll out the “special mediator” and then say it’s not them doing the dirty work. This bill will be an attack on the fundamental right to strike and bargain collectively. Don’t trust Hajdu.

But I will raise all the fees and levies and maintain the requirement that most households have to own multiple cars to live, work, survive and barely have quality of life. But I get to campaign on low property taxes. Which are the gas prices of the municipal affordability smoke screen

It's time we acknowledge reality: suburban, exurban, rural drivers are simply not smart enough to manage driving downtown. Doing so requires a level of attention and agility that they do not possess.

On The Daily today, Barbaro described Trump's demands of Canada as trying to mold Canada into another US state. It's amusing to imagine proud Texans learning through this how little sovereignty they have as states in the USA. Of course, I could just be hoping for such destabilization.
