I get that the city needs to save money so Mark can bail out his OSEG buddies, but PowerBI as a platform for dashboards is, in my opinion, hot garbage from a user perspective.

Here’s hot it renders on mobile. It’s also not a11y complaint.

Ottawa is completely broken.

This mansion pays less property tax than a modern duplex in downtown Ottawa (8k per duplex = 16k / year).

We desperately need mansions to pay their fair share in property taxes.

I think there is an opportunity for a conversation around what DCs should pay for.

I don't think that swimming pools are it. Water, hydro, sewer, costs to cover city bureaucracy, absolutely.

But roads, rec centres, pools, even libraries used by all residents, should be paid for by prop taxes.
