I will support the anyone but Plante candidate in 2026.
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):

Thank you to everyone who wrote to me about Lansdowne 2.0. It passed by 15-10 today, which I know is not the outcome you wanted. I pledge to keep holding the city accountable and fighting for the priorities you really care about.

Today, Lansdowne 2.0 was passed with a 15 - 10 vote at Council. This is going to be an important issue in 2026, and I hope you'll stay engaged with Council in the coming months.

Well that's it. Council has passed the Lansdowne 2.0 plan by a 15 to 10 vote.
At this point Ottawa feels less like a city and more like a taxpayer-funded vending machine for comfortable private interests.

There are thousands of Canadians employed by U.S. companies, myself included, ripping up contracts makes for good t.v., but has anyone thought about the Canadian jobs that will disappear? Are Patrick Brown and his prepared to pay my salary if I lose my job?

Tariffs: Brampton announces ‘Made in Canada’ procurement policy
With just hours to go before U.S. President Donald Trump potentially imposes sweeping tariffs on Canadian goods, the City of Brampton is announcing it's ready to deploy a 'Made in Canada' procurement policy in response.

US tariffs against Canada (and others) are coming regardless of what performative appeasement tactics we take. So the rest of the world must unite. Stop buying US products entirely, when we can. And buy from each other instead. Retaliatory tariffs aren't needed if we act locally.

Just voted in the Ontario election. My polling place is in an University residence. We have to be to buzzed in by security, there is no signage on the road or on campus directing folks to the polling place. I live in a Liberal stronghold. Is anyone else in Liberal/NDP ridings facing the same issues?

You have the floor, Wayne. Wayne? Hello? We can’t hear you.
If Wayne Gretzky actually loved Canada he would tell Donald Trump to shut his mouth.
The convicted felon/sexual predator says we don't have a right to be a nation.
Standing up to him is a no brainer for anyone who loves Canada.
It's Vimy or Vichy.
Two simple choices.

Canadians across the country are rallying behind a petition to revoke Elon Musk's citizenship.
He wasn't born in Canada. He represents profoundly anti-democratic values.
In Canada citizens can present these petitions to Canada’s parliament.
I support them.

Ottawa folks, the OPL main branch is allowing the screening of an anti trans film today, 2/15 at 1:30pm. Promoting hate contravenes the OPL code of conduct. I spoke to an OPL staffer who tried to argue intellectual freedom. Hate is not intellectual freedom.
