@MICHAELCTV @DavidHillWard3 @ctvottawa @CBCOttawa @CFRAOttawa I agree, and that was not at all my intention. I was using the same term used by the journalist whose video I was referring to, and it's not as if she implied anything bad by it.

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

@MICHAELCTV @DavidHillWard3 @ctvottawa @CBCOttawa @CFRAOttawa Yes, it means that once I'm re-elected there's going to need to be some relationship repairs. Council is a non-partisan, collaboration-based process. What three or my colleagues have done - to their colleague - seems unprecedented to most observers.

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

@DavidHillWard3 And I don't understand why you continue to insinuate that I have a relationship with Horizon. I don't.

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

@DavidHillWard3 Yeah, it means that we're all going to have to figure out how to work together as colleagues once this is all over. I don't know how my colleagues would ever imagine how this hasn't affected our relationship.

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

As we enter the campaign's final stretch, I'm sharing some endorsements that I've received from some very important people. Enjoy, and spread the love. And it's still not too late to get one of our cute signs on your lawn! https://t.co/whwCHWB9S0

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

@StewartGreen81 @_MarkSutcliffe That’s my concern, too.

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

Horizon wanted me to fill out their survey to get their endorsement. I did not do the survey. Hence no endorsement. They have still “recommended” multiple candidates who did not complete the survey.

[It's Jamie @SjamieIt]

@ImnotselfishL @DevineSean I actually have no clue what you're talking about.

If a candidate does not accept Horizon's endorsement, as you're saying Sean should have done, Horizon will only issue a recommendation. Therefore Sean either was not offered an endorsement from Horizon or did not accept it.

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

This is BS. I didn't actively seek out Horizon's recommendation of me, nor do I have any relationship with them. I can't stop organizations from endorsing me. This happens in every campaign. You, on the other hand, have taken direct and intentional involvement. It's contemptuous.

[David Hill @DavidHillWard3]

It is disingenuous for @DevineSean to claim victimhood of 'an organized push from outside to unseat him', while Jeff Leiper's shadow party is doing precisely that for him

During an election, people will challenge your position/ record. That's the point

@Brett__Byers @EmrysGraefe Thanks, Brett. I’m looking forward to (hopefully) continuing our collaboration in the next Term of Council. You’re super effective at helping to advance good policy ideas.

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

@Brett__Byers @EmrysGraefe Brett’s actually a very serious and very smart fellow that I’ve enjoyed working with very much. It’s just disappointing to see him use such damaging rhetoric against folks like me who simply have a different outlook.

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

@Brett__Byers Radical activists? Seriously, Brett?

Check out this short video clip from the Rogers TV Ward 9 Debate, where I highlight two of my key initiatives for better infrastructure: 🎥

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

Yes, I said it on TV: "In Ward 9, there's nothing sexier than a dry basement." 😉 People always say "infrastructure isn't sexy" because you can't hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new water main. But after this summer, the priorities are clear. 🧵👇(1/5)

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

The truth? I’ve been beating the drum for better infrastructure investment since Day 1 of being your councillor. Protecting your homes and neighborhoods has always been a top priority. (4/5)

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

My plan is simple: Invest More. Spend Smarter. Deliver Better.

Let's build infrastructure in Ward 9 that lasts, performs better, and delivers real value for taxpayers. 🌐 Learn more at https://t.co/DBhIDPP3qj (5/5)

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

🏗️ Ottawa’s infrastructure is facing a major crisis—especially in Ward 9, where decades of delayed maintenance on roads, sewers, and facilities created a multi-billion dollar funding gap. Waiting until things break costs taxpayers far more in the long run. (1/5)

[Sean Devine @DevineSean]

🏡 3. Fight for Ward 9: Secure fair funding for older neighborhoods to protect quality of life & cut storm risks.
🛣️ 4. Build Smarter: Use resilient tech like permeable pavement & cost-effective methods like Edmonton's road patching system to cut long-term costs. (4/5)
