Lansdowne 2.0 was just approved by Council 15-10, and it's definitely worth taking note of the geographical imbalance on the vote.
The two out-of-place "yes" votes are Marty Carr (Alta Vista) and Stéphanie Plante (Rideau-Vanier):

I do support 3 day weekends, but if I have to choose I would actually push for reduced daily hours instead so I don't have to suffer each morning. If I worked 10-4 I'd get the same amount of work done and it would reduce misery and stress. And I could eat breakfast.

Is the City of #Ottawa @en.ottawa.ca doing any public event to Teach the Legacy or showcase their leadership actions on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation?
Is the flag lowering and bored recitation of Land Acknowledgement at Council meetings all that has been accomplished? #OttPoli

If you don't want homeless people to be in public libraries unless they're reading, I have to wonder how you pull off the first part without effectively excluding many of them from being welcome to do the reading.

“It’s important for local businesses that cars be able to park.” Never mind that there’s a perpetually half-empty parking garage a block away; it’s not parking if it’s not directly in front of my destination! 😱
