Remote work is no longer a perk or a pandemic hangover. It is part of Canada’s economic fabric.

For the past four years, I’ve been fighting for a better future for Ottawa residents. At a time of rising costs and economic uncertainty, I believe we must keep property taxes low while investing significantly in the priorities that matter most to you: policing, paramedics, and public safety, better public transit, fixing and expanding our roads to ease congestion, and building more community infrastructure.

But not everyone agrees. Some of my opponents believe that you should pay much higher taxes, that we are investing too much in policing, or that we should make it harder for drivers to get around the city.

This is a critical time for our city. We can't afford a U-turn toward higher taxes, more congestion, and divisive ideology. We must remain focused on building a stronger Ottawa, together.

Depuis quatre ans, je me bats pour offrir un avenir meilleur aux résidents d’Ottawa. En cette période de hausse des coûts et d’incertitude économique, je crois fermement que nous devons maintenir les impôts fonciers à un niveau bas, tout en investissant massivement dans les priorités qui comptent le plus pour vous : la police, les ambulanciers et la sécurité publique, un meilleur réseau de transport en commun, la réparation et l'élargissement de nos routes pour réduire la congestion, et la construction d'infrastructures communautaires supplémentaires.

Mais tout le monde ne partage pas cette vision. Certains de mes adversaires estiment que vous devriez payer des impôts beaucoup plus élevés, que nous investissons trop dans les services de police, ou qu'il faudrait compliquer la vie des automobilistes qui tentent de circuler en ville.

Notre ville traverse un moment crucial. Nous n'avons pas les moyens de faire un virage à 180 degrés vers des taxes plus élevées, davantage d'embouteillages et une idéologie qui divise. Nous devons rester déterminés à bâtir une ville d’Ottawa plus forte, ensemble.

I have some very good news to share about the 417. Unless the weather interferes, all lanes of the 417 near Pinecrest will reopen in just over a week, on Monday, June 22. That’s more than five weeks ahead of the original timetable.

I know how frustrating it’s been for drivers in the west end due to lane closures and construction. I asked for the project to be significantly accelerated so we could reduce disruption and get relief for commuters as quickly as possible. I’m pleased to see staff have followed through on my request.

To accelerate the work, there will be some overnight lane reductions next weekend. These are the final steps necessary to get the work done. If the weather is a factor, the work may be delayed to the following weekend but so far it’s looking good.

Thanks for your patience. We’re almost there!

Four years ago, Ottawa was struggling and city council was toxic and dysfunctional. During this term of council, we got everyone working together again and made real progress. But the work isn't finished. Let's keep building a stronger Ottawa, together.

1 entrepreneur québécois sur 3 peine à gérer sa trésorerie. Ce n'est pas un manque de talent. C'est un manque de visibilité financière.

Montréal a tout pour être le premier endroit au Canada où les PME ressentent concrètement les bénéfices de la finance ouverte.

Canada asks someone making $35K/year to navigate the same tax compliance as a $350K business.

Same forms. Same deadlines. Same penalties.

The GST/HST threshold was set in 1991 and hasn't moved since.

Administrative design either enables or crushes small business.

Les compressions fédérales sont une épreuve humaine réelle.

Elles pourraient aussi être un rare moment de rééquilibrage économique pour Ottawa Gatineau.

Council has voted resoundingly in favour of the 2026 budget. This budget is a responsible approach that strikes the right balance. It protects affordability, while investing in what matters most to you: public safety, public transit, supporting the most vulnerable, and fixing our roads and sidewalks. This is a budget that meets the needs of all of Ottawa: rural, suburban, and urban residents. Let’s keep working together to move Ottawa forward!

Le Conseil a voté massivement en faveur du budget 2026. Il s’agit d’un budget responsable et équilibré qui trouve le juste milieu. Il protège l’abordabilité tout en investissant dans ce qui compte le plus pour vous : la sécurité publique, le transport en commun, le soutien aux personnes les plus vulnérables, ainsi que l’entretien de nos routes et de nos trottoirs. C’est un budget qui répond aux besoins de l’ensemble d’Ottawa – nos quartiers ruraux, les banlieues et le centre-ville. Continuons de travailler ensemble pour faire avancer Ottawa !

Only three days into Movember and we're already 1/5th of the way to completing the bounty, thanks to a generous first donation of $250 from @TheOfficialEric , who now holds the coveted 'Fate of the Mo' in his hands.

Unfortunately for him, as of today, Pringles will also be adding a $25 bonus to any donation over $50, so you can snag the role of Decider at a discount!
