Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Affordable housing is more than bricks and mortar—it’s about dignity, inclusion & creating conditions for people to thrive. Thank you to our partners for helping us make Ottawa a city where everyone has a place to call home.

I can safely say it was a “Bazaar” morning with visits to the All Saints Westboro United Church, Unitarian Church Fall Fair & the Danish Club Bazaar at Ron Kolbus Lakeside. Cycling was fine and Alex and I were glad to be able to get around before the freezing rain forecast becomes reality.
