Every day here, I get annoyed at how many people cannot let go of X.
In a few hours I saw,

- countless screenshots.
If you can’t get the f*ck of it, at least shut up about it.

The real problem isn’t rage itself, but the systems we’ve built around it: systems designed to provoke, manipulate, and monetize our anger. Instead of empowering us to right a wrong, they exploit our most powerful instincts for profit.

#OttBudget 2026 invests in the services we rely on every day. Through service reviews and continuous improvement, we have realized more than $252 million in savings during this Term of Council.
One example of a service improvement is the redesigned Open Ottawa platform.
