Some of this falls back on Premier Ford's reckless removal of Automated Speed Enforcement cameras. It gave institutional approval to the idea that it's a God-given right to reach your destination as fast as humanly possible, regardless of the risk to others. 4/
And if Mark had made infrastructure investment a priority, we might be able to withstand those storms better. Sure, some of this is legacy, but Marks push for 2.5% taxes is the same as predecessors like Watson and crew who undermined our future. Can we afford more of this?

Quorus survey puts Mark Sutcliffe and Jeff Leiper well ahead of other candidates in survey published one week before election day.

Equally irresponsible to continue undermining our future, over promising and under delivering such as your promise to fix Transit and plan 1 million trees; we have an $11 billion infrastructure backlog; how do we fix that on 2.5% ? #CantAffordAnother4Years 
mark-sutcliffe.bsky.social@mark-sutcliffe.bsky.social · 19h agoIt’s irresponsible to run for mayor without telling residents how much you plan to raise their taxes. I've committed to keeping property taxes between 2 and 2.5% for the next two years. I delivered on affordability over the last four years, and I’ll do it again.

There is a caveat to Sutcliffe's 70 page mayoral platform: will City Council support it? Remember, the Mayor is one (1) vote on Ottawa City Council.

Isabella brings up a great point that always blows the minds of a few students in my CLC political economy class - full employment undermines corporate power, the higher unemployment is, the more power corporations have over workers. Unemployment policy is inherently political.
I voted for @jleiper.bsky.social at an early poll. We can't afford to have Mark Sutcliffe continue as mayor. Leiper is the only candidate with municipal experience. Let's stop voting in inexperienced people for the top job.

I voted for @jleiper.bsky.social without hesitation. I love the city with my whole heart, but I'm still so bitter that y'all voted Sutcliffe and not McKenney. Please don't make the wrong choice two elections in a row. Ottawa deserves progressive leadership!

A united Canada must mean more than just rejecting separation. It must mean actually standing up for all of us — building a movement across our differences to make this a country where everyone can live a life of dignity, equality and belonging.

Alex Lawson campaign's internal poll suggests Sutcliffe may not be on his way to a sweeping re-election ottawacitizen.com/news/alex-la...
How about fixing and reinvesting in the +20 community centres, pools, libraries slated to close bc Mark and cronies are all in for Lansdowne and 2% taxes instead of funding we actually need.
As we enter the campaign's final stretch, I'm sharing some endorsements that I've received from some very important people. Enjoy, and spread the love. And it's still not too late to get one of our cute signs on your lawn! www.seandevine2026.ca/sign
Looks like the MAGA separatists are launching their next campaign - to immolate Danielle Smith's UCP. Message to Danielle Smith - if you sleep with snakes don't be surprised when you get bitten. Another case of FAFO. globalnews.ca/news/1210908...

But how will you pay for it if you’re keeping status quo and going to hold taxes at unsustainable levels? We have the last 4 years of decrepitude, building on decades of austerity from your predecessor to show for it. Look around you #OttCity: roads, sidewalks, social infra, it’s all worse 1/

In the last 4 years: are your pool waiting times better? Is your library open longer hours? Is your commute better? Transit? How’s that working? These have all gotten worse in the last 4y; if you want that to stay the same, re-elect Mark.
