Said every former montréalais and montréalaise ever.

Bryden repeatedly chased public subsidy. The PWHL/Charge are fighting not to be the victim of wasteful political favouritism.

I predict this will be resolved in due course and in the normal #Ottcity manner… by giving OSEG more public💰.

Much. Much. More. Public.💰

Gotta belief this materially and adversely hits the revenue potential of the proposed arena as the Charge are the only paying tenant. If the L2 nums weren’t pie in the sky before they sure as hell are now.

I looks an awful lot like CPC held two votes back until they knew the budget would pass. They *really* didn’t want an election.

Yep it will be fabulous.

Imagine a P3 but where the City is legally absolutely and entirely subservient to the other partner not only in respect of LRT matters but in literally everything it does.

The only one who wins here is he guy who ran on “fixing public transit” but instead let it rot.

It’s almost the opposite. All the devs want is the big, profitable residential towers, more parking, less mtnce and free rent for their sports teams. The “public” facilities replacement is the cover story for giving them the whole enchilada.

For some (I suspect large) fraction of the lost speed cams no alternatives – calming, signage, redesign, direct enforcement – will ever be implemented. We are kidding ourselves if we expect effective alternatives.

This morning speed cam on Bridge St in Manotick was dismantled. It was on a crazy busy truck route past a school, park, library & seniors residences. Operated perhaps 9-10 mths & absolutely stopped endemic speeding. No calming will ever be installed. Signs were ineffective pre-cam. Expect same now

Last year it was the PILTs and the 174 upload that would save us. This year the dream is Ford swallowing the multi-billions LRT pig whole. No one is going to save us. We have to save ourselves. But this crew is only interested in saving themselves.

But seriously that lame begging just exposes Sutcliffe’s cowardice. He ignores the city’s burgeoning fiscal crisis and just pitches «don’t worry be happy» to slip into another term. He’s still living the op-ed life where bad choices have zero consequences.

I’m sure the Mayor of Lansdowne can squeeze $11billion from 👇

That shot seems like a huge middle finger to those who advocate for a safer, more accessible city. Nice work from the Mayor of Lansdowne.

Who else is afraid they’ll want to rip out the canal bridge cycle tracks to “facilitate construction and ease traffic congestion?”

Burbites see urban Ottawa not as a part of their city and a place people live and work but as a theme park they visit occasionally. Who doesn’t like a theme park they are told is free?

This is the empty spew of a person who has no principles, no grounding, no vision. He’s a windsock for the wealthy few.

“What do cities do when a provincial premier deliberately makes them more dangerous and less successful?”

In Ottawa 2/3rds of Council celebrate not having to cow-tow to those pesky cyclists and tacitly accept more injuries and deaths.

While I would normally agree, that floor-crossings can put a PP govt off for 4 years and may do meaningful damage to his near term leadership prospects is compelling.
