It’s past 8pm, and the 2026 draft budget has officially passed. But this year, I voted no. Throughout the last several months, I’ve spoken about the importance of building a budget that works for all of Ottawa.

Today I brought a voice of dissent to the city budget vote. The residents of Somerset Ward are my boss: not the mayor and not other members of council. I know you want a city that works and that leaves no one behind. This budget missed the mark, so I voted against it. I will keep fighting for you.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

For me it is the frequent cognitive exams and advanced imaging. This is done for treatment of Alzheimer’. You do cognitive testing to determine cognitive situation and advanced testing for amyloid plaques reduction. FYI Trump’s father had Alzheimer’.
