Across Ottawa, people are asking the same question: Do we keep accepting systems and decisions that fall short, or do we build a City That Works?
Momentum is building across Ottawa.

"My Grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her town, a German soldier shot her dead."
"My Grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israel to murder Palestinian Grandmothers in Gaza."
After helping steer our party through one of the most challenging periods in its history, Lucy Watson is stepping down today as National Director.
As Lucy moves on to a new chapter, so too does our party, following a leadership race that delivered a strong mandate for change from members. That renewal and rebuilding is already underway, in our national office and in communities and ridings across the country.
I wish Lucy all the best in her future endeavours and offer my sincere appreciation for her contributions.
You showed up and made our launch one to remember.
I’m running because I believe we can build a city that works. A city where you can count on transit, find affordable housing and trust that City Hall is focused on residents.
Let’s get to work: https://t.co/P8jfuz4ZFL
Ottawa, it’s official. I am running for Mayor to build a city that works.
Transit that works. Housing that works and is affordable. A city built for people, with services that actually work.

Fatima Shaban has spent years fighting for the families of Scarborough Southwest as a worker, tenant, and community advocate in the neighbourhood where she grew up and is now raising her own family.
As the Ontario NDP candidate in the upcoming provincial by-election, she's ready to take that fight to Queen's Park and deliver a Scarborough working families can afford.
Alexandre Boulerice: "The fact that I was going to leave federal politics was already there way before the election of Avi Lewis, so it's not a judgment on him or his leadership. I think he's great with a great vision for the left and the progressive people in this country."
Alexandre is leaving our caucus but not our common struggle.
After 15 years as a champion for affordability, climate action, and workers’ rights in Ottawa, he’s taking the fight provincial, in a critical moment for Quebec.
We wish you well, Alex. We’ll miss you in the House but we’ll see you in the streets!
Next week, we officially kick off our campaign.
This kickoff is about bringing people together around a positive vision for our city. Ottawa is full of potential, and together we can build a city that works.

Watching this clip after hearing about Stephen Lewis's passing is heartbreaking. It is nice to know that he lived long enough to see his son become NDP leader. Condolences to the Lewis family. May Stephen's memory be a blessing.
Hello my name is Bill. I’m 67 and from Woodstock, Ontario. I have voted Conservative since I was 18 and I’m really concerned about the direction of the NDP
