Resurrecting this for reasons that have nothing to do with a banana.

Proud to see my brother giving back.
“Lawson was a recipient of a snowsuit when he was a child growing up in the Herongate area with a single mother with a very limited income. ‘…I want to give back everything we used and then some.’”

This blogger actually sucks and is either purposely doing a hack job, or is stupid.
Either way, great policy.

Who do you think City Hall is listening to?

Alex is proposing the strongest anti-corruption laws in Canada. @_MarkSutcliffe is defending favours for his lobbyist friends.

If you help get someone elected, you shouldn’t get to profit lobbying them.
If you donated to a campaign, worked to get someone elected, you can’t come asking for favours for profit.
This is about making sure City Hall works for the public interest, not special interests.

Families should be able to enjoy Ottawa’s parks without feeling unsafe.
Good policy means balancing freedom, responsibility, and proper enforcement, not ignoring problems until they grow worse!

If you see wrongdoing should you blow the whistle? @AlexLawsonOtt did when he saw what looks like improper lobbying in @_MarkSutcliffe’s office.
The firm responsible responded with outrage and legal threats.
Interesting strategy…

In fact, Alex posted the complaint AND all the emails online so people can judge for themselves.
Is that how someone makes a “spurious” accusation?

Access to information is a powerful tool. The mayor's office knows Jennifer Stewart isn't registered to lobby for Syntax clients. But they're still picking up the phone.
I've released 100 pages of emails between the mayor's office and Syntax on my website:

After promising “safer, affordable, reliable” and accomplishing the opposite, @_MarkSutcliffe is doing what he does best.
In a single sentence he blames other “toxic and dysfunctional” people and then claims credit for getting them to work together.
Bold strategy…

I assumed this was an honest mistake made by @Charlie_Senack and wrote the @Lookout editors earlier
Then I realized the City of #Ottawa & OC Transpo advertise heavily in their newsletters, so they've refused the corrections

We kept the receipts. @Charlie_Senack says he asked for comments on things he just never asked about.
Is this honest independent journalism? Or a biased smear job from an ideological opponent to a blue collar worker entering politics because the city needs help?

I sure said a lot for this biased journalist to claim I made no comment. Does this seem right to you?

Couple of factually false items in @Charlie_Senack’s “article” this morning…

You know you’re a threat to the establishment when biased media starts attacking.

I’m scared that Jeff might beat my boss Mark in the next election.

Jeff has been at city hall longer than anyone else running for mayor.
