Below is my statement on Justin Trudeau’s resignation.
If you oppose callous Conservative cuts.
If you oppose the rich getting richer while everyone else falls further behind.

I’d argue this is because Poilievre is cosplaying as caring about the working class with all his talk about affordability and housing.
The problem is that if you actually listen to him, the solution he offers is trickle down economics.
But the Liberals are like “nah the economy is fine”

I get why people will be annoyed by the notion that Trudeau took the party too far to the left but it'll be hard to argue that the party should have moved further left (or were in the right place) if in 2025, as currently predicted, the CPC wins the most seats ever won in any Canadian election ever.

They called out "the company’s thirst for profits" and said management talks about the store bringing in $1.6 million in a matter of days while workers struggle.

The Centretown Community Association has sent a letter to Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe opposing Ottawa's transit budget.
This budget will make traffic worse, force children and seniors to stay home, and is financially reckless to the billions already invested in the O-Train system.

There’s one thing I know for sure after 33 years working in cities all over the world — there’s nothing inevitable or unchangeable about the way your city is. Your city is the result of decisions & choices. Like every city. Different decisions or choices could have been made, and STILL can be made.

We should ban panels on affordable housing until there’s something new to discuss.
Every panel is titled, "AN END TO THE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS???"
And the consensus is "build more housing at a lower cost"
and then no one does that, no policy changes to enable that, and all we get is more panels

Mayors calling on the Government of Ontario to use the notwithstanding clause to dismantle homeless peoples encampments is despicable. We need to build more publicly owned, social housing, not violently clear encampments.
