Merci à tous ceux qui ont participé aujourd'hui à mon événement sur la sécurité des aînés à Churchill Seniors pour entendre des conseils et des mises à jour de Safer Roads Ottawa, d'OC Transpo et de @julieslalonde.bsky.social. C'était amusant et instructif!

I had a chance this afternoon to drop by Aseer Time (440 Richmond) to welcome Chadi and Omran to Westboro. They've got a mouth-watering dessert menu, this month 50% off from 11-4 Mon/Tue/Weds!

On Wednesday, the budget was officially tabled at Council. I'm still working through it, but I'll be back soon with my thoughts.
Le budget a été officiellement déposé au Conseil mercredi. Je suis encore en train de l'étudier, mais je vous ferai part de mes réflexions prochainement.

Le projet de loi 60 entrave les efforts des conseils municipaux et des conseillers et conseillères qui cherchent à améliorer la sécurité de nos rues, alors même que la demande augmente, et ne fera qu'aggraver les embouteillages pour tous.

Bill 60 kneecaps municipal Councils and councillors seeking to make our streets safer as we intensify, and will worsen congestion for everyone. Thanks to residents who came to City Hall this morning to protest.

The Mayor will release his draft budget today. We know there's money for Lansdowne, but how will the budget affect people who rely on more important city services?

Je remercie encore une fois la Légion 480 de Westboro pour son dévouement constant à honorer la mémoire de ceux qui se sont sacrifiés pour leur pays. Nous ne les oublierons jamais. Le conseiller Kavanagh et moi-même avons eu l'honneur de déposer une gerbe au nom de la Ville.

My thanks again to the Westboro Legion 480 for their continued dedication to remembering those who sacrificed for their country. We will remember them. Councillor Kavanagh and i had the honour of laying a wreath on behalf of the City.

Hilson students spent time this morning to mark Remembrance Day, laying wreaths and singing songs. My thanks to Alisa Viner and her team for the warm welcome. I'll be in Westboro at the Cenotaph today at 1:30 for the Legion's parade and wreath-laying at 2.

I hope neighbours can join Elder Verna McGregor, Mayor Sutcliffe, Dave Allston and me to cut the ribbon on the new Papichì Park at the corner of Spencer and Huron on Saturday at 11. We'll have warm drinks and some short words. (Papichì is the Algonquin Inòdewiziwin word for Robin).

Today, Lansdowne 2.0 was passed with a 15 - 10 vote at Council. This is going to be an important issue in 2026, and I hope you'll stay engaged with Council in the coming months.

Lansdowne 2.0 ne correspond pas aux besoins exprimés par les résidents. Le coût est exorbitant, le résultat trop insatisfaisant et incertain, et les avantages ne profitent qu'à une minorité. Le rassemblement de ce matin était galvanisant. Une autre solution existe ; il faut la saisir.

Lansdowne 2.0 is not what residents are telling us we need as a city. The cost is too much, the outcome too inadequate and uncertain, and the benefits accrue to too few. This morning's rally was energizing. We have an off-ramp; we should take it.

I'd like to thank colleagues David Brown, Catherine Kitts and Riley Brockington who agreed to help community associations dry-run their zoning presentations with me in a mock committee meeting last night. It was fun!

I enjoyed the well-attended Champlain Park AGM last night. Residents are generous even as they grapple with zoning changes, increasing congestion and the imminent transformation at Tunney's Pasture. It all made for a busy agenda!

As economic uncertainty grows we need a city government that has everyone's backs to ensure affordability for all. That's @arieltroster.com's and my commitment as we approach the 2026 budget.

Face à l'incertitude économique, nous avons besoin d'une administration municipale qui soutienne tous les citoyens et garantisse une ville abordable pour tous. C'est l'engagement que @arieltroster.com et moi prenons à l'approche du budget 2026.

There is a very large crowd in Barrhaven tonight to oppose the Lansdowne 2.0 proposal. Councillor Menard is explaining the strong opposition residents express in polling when the plan is explained.
