Mayoral debate on enviro -- liking Kadri's points about value/potential of farming, need for regional supply chains, etc.. and Bay's various related points incl potential to better marry Ottawa's high tech and agricultural sectors.
Mayoral debate on enviro. B Chiarelli would freeze taxes. In one of wealthiest cities in one of wealthiest nations facing huge issues and rising inflation.
For some reason Mark S showing himself particularly hostile to spending on bike lanes -- hardly a big ticket item compared to roads. N Kadri: we will get 100000 houses over 10 years without any help from Mark S. It's status quo.
@BrandonBay: 100K homes over 10 years is actually status quo; does absolutely nothing to solve affordability crisis; targets must be more ambitious. Elect those who understand zoning bylaw.
Mayoral debate on enviro -- so frustrating to see lack of backbone and understanding vis a vis R1 zoning. Suggesting dismantling R1 will result in high rises in SFH NHs.
Strong turnout in person and on-line at Mayoral debate on enviro. Adrian H needling in on fiscal issues. Mark S talking "balanced approach". Kadri challenging him to declare intentions re proposed annual tax increase.
Not that I don't get why the Casino wants to prevent free public access to the best spot from which to view les Grands Feux, but still I wonder under whose authority a private enterprise gets to block off a public RoW.
'Fraid so. Not just human life either. No more dithering or calls for a "balanced" approach on emissions reduction. AND let's prioritize nature-based solutions to both carbon absorption and to our adaptation strategies in cities.
Black lives matter #crcbv mural unveiled yesterday, on wall beside Ottawa's first public library on Rideau. Powerful words from father of Tyson and brother of Creflo, two youth murdered in Lowertown.
