@barrhaveneast.bsky.social How are you planning to vote in for Lansdowne 2.0?
How do the local Barrhaven businesses feel about pouring more money into an are which was *just* renovated, while we've had little of the same investment?

Great choice, articulated perfectly and clarifies what many 'regular' constituents feel. Those of us who have nothing financially to gain from #Lansdowne2.0 #ottawa #ottcity #ottpoli

What happened to the long term solution Lansdowne 1 was supposed to solve? The maintenance and repairs that OSEG owns?
What about the $94M we received $0 of from OSEG?

This is a bad idea, offering ONE solution to the current issues at Lansdowne is short sighted.

OSEG has done a big digital ad buy, at least on YouTube. Been running on every video. I’m just jumping from video to video just to see how often it’s popping up. A Canadian billionaire really wants the city to build him a new stadium. Interesting… it’s giving desperation vibes #ottawa

The way these two were spoken to during the delegation was unprofessional -- I can't understand why the Charge would be considered such an enemy for stating FACTS

I hope you make it in tonight! I had to withdraw... because there was no way we were making it to me today and I am booked the rest of the week. Good luck!

Remember Lansdowne 1.0 and how #OSEG should have paid $94M... yeah they didn't do that. #OttCity #Lansdowne #Lansdowne2.No

Lansdowne 2.0 isn’t a done deal. City Council can still pause, review, and make a better plan — one that actually benefits residents and protects public space.

Public consultation has been rushed and limited. Many residents and community groups have asked Council to slow down and release all the numbers before voting.

The City’s own auditor found the first Lansdowne deal didn’t bring in the promised economic benefits. Lansdowne 2.0 repeats the same model — only this time, it costs even more.

The “new” Lansdowne would also mean less public green space and more private development. What was supposed to be a park for everyone risks becoming another commercial complex.

Here’s the kicker: the City plans to demolish the existing arena and north-side stands — buildings that are only about ten years old — and rebuild them. Financially and environmentally, that doesn’t add up.

City staff say the project could cost over $500 million, all borrowed. That means higher city debt — and less funding available for things like housing, transit, and climate action.

Lansdowne 2.0 would use hundreds of millions in public money to help a private developer rebuild the site. The City takes the debt and risk. The developer gets the profits.

Let’s talk about Lansdowne 2.0 — Ottawa’s plan to rebuild parts of Lansdowne Park with new towers, retail, and an arena. Sounds exciting, right? But here’s what’s actually in the deal 👇
