An important commitment to #Ottawa.
I hope @cmckenney — who opposed as Councillor — and @_MarkSutcliffe, take a clear position on this proposal.
Invest in affordable housing. Not outdated, ineffective and costly shelters.
As Mayor, I will oppose funding of the planned Salvation Army shelter in Vanier. It’s counterproductive. The homeless deserve smaller settings with a full range of services. 1/8
@MathieuFleury Thank you for 12 years of service to the residents of ward 12. You have helped set Rideau-Vanier on a path to a bright future. All the best in your future endeavours.
On Wednesday at 6pm, we are hosting a virtual consultation on the Salvation Army site plan application

The fundamental challenges remain:
1- Without a key to a unit with a lease, residents at emergency shelters are homeless.
2- Many factors lead to a life on the street today, sadly, addiction is chief among them.
We are witnessing, literally watching live, Putin commit genocide on an industrial scale in Ukraine while the most powerful military alliance in history stands aside. It's impossible not to be emotional, but let us also be rational and focus our rage on the facts. 1/13
@JimWatsonOttawa So the city obtained an injunction to encourage the trucks to leave the area you just directed them to park in? Now we have something else to not enforce. It’s not clear how this is real progress.
@phldenault @jchianello You are absolutely correct. But, with Ottawa Police not enforcing rules, regulations, by-laws or emergency orders it kind of a moot point. There were no vehicles involved in the counter protest and it dispersed after making its point (not an occupation). I would participate again
Happy to see the community getting together to take back Ottawa. #FluTruxKlan blocked in by protesters at Bank & Riverside. They felt their rights were being infringed upon by protesters blocking the road. 😂 #OttawaOccupied
