@timtierney.ca, Thought you might like to see this.
Every single thing about this thoughtful thread from @lucyvanolden.bsky.social is bang on. Thank you.
Tim’s opinion piece angered me in so many ways, so baseless and wrong, his “head in the sand” approach doesn’t deserve another moments thought. What concerns me more is Tim is positioned 1/

Councillor Tim Tierney is wrong about ‘Chronic No-Voters’ in his Ottawa Citizen Op/Ed on Saturday.
His opinion would be easier to take seriously if the comments weren’t coming from someone with a 15-year track record of being a reliable yes-man for every budget. 1/21

This. The cohort of 16-9 votes at council win, and claim victory and try to convince us that they’re doing the right thing and yet year after year, we see the same issues: chronic underfunding of social infrastructure while $ bleeds out to unsustainable suburban/rural wards.

Just when I thought that I couldn’t adore @lucyvanolden.bsky.social any more, she goes and lays out this awesome thread exposing not only the unmistakable value of the ANCHOR program, but the roots of the problem at City Council that prevents its wider adoption.

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about Don Jr receiving a massive loan for his startup from the Pentagon. I guess when there’s so much corruption some things fly under the radar?

It's Sutcliffe using the Jim Watson playbook. Have a loyal councillor attack the others on your behalf so you can pretend you're above the fray.
We've seen the same with attacks on Menard

Wayne Gretzky is a Trump supporter.
Wayne doesn't know Macedonia from a nut, or Curaçao from Cocao.
Until he saw it, he probably thought Jore-DAN was where basketball shoes were made.
Don't be a "Wayne," and please forgive us in 🇨🇦 for him, Kevin O'Leary, & Ted Cruz.
We didn't mean to export that 💩.

There's enough inaccurate or concerning information in the way in which @en.ottawa.ca is communicating about the 2026 Budget that I felt it should be addressed. And it's the concept of $252M in "savings" that I want to talk about, because this information is being used falsely. 1/
#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.
