No joke - new, incoming City Manager, Wendy Stephanson calls former City Manager Steve Kanellakos who was found by the #LRTInquiry to have intentionally misled the public over issues surrounding the #OttawaLRT a "great leader."
New boss, same as the old boss.
Stittsville Clr Glen Gower (who pretended to run on a progressive platform in 2018) who was the same councillor who led the fight to stop the #LRTInquiry continues to hold water for pushing #ottcity council to make absolutely terrible decisions.
Another ward to focus on in 2026.
Councillor Gower reads a motion regarding the Germain Hotels application to change the grant from 25 years to 10 years at $3.7 million.
@ottawacity Like it's as if the #LRTInquiry never even happened!!
How are we giving John Manconi more business despite the role he played in seriously messing up our transit system.
Truly unbelievable.
🏦Yesterday, we discovered @_MarkSutcliffe hired former @JimWatson staffer Robyn Guest as his Chief of Staff who has family ties with two major figures mentioned in the #LRTInquiry Report.
Is this supposed to signal change?

@ottawacity @Laura_Dudas Once again @Laura_Dudas voted for things in the last council like: opposing an #LRTInquiry, voting against motions in the past to raise the affordable housing budget in #ottcity and the Porsche dealership tax break.
It’ll be a long night tonight reading & absorbing the #LRTinquiry report, but only after my lovely wife & I take in the @Senators game. We got these tix at a fundraiser auction for @NROCRC. A fun way to support one of #Ward9’s most important orgs. #GoSens
If Steve Kanellakos hadn't resigned on Monday, I don't think he would have been able to withstand this finding from the LRT inquiry commissioner.
Hourigan finds that Jim Watson, John Manconi and Steve Kanellakos lied to him.
"The Mayor's failure to inform Council prevented Council from exercising effective oversight” oh boy this is bad! #lrtinquiry #LRT #ottawa
#KanataNeighbours so hard to keep up with excuses & misinformation - Chair says council was told councillors say nope, Chair blames others 4 not informing Citizen Commissioners; says let’s wait until #LRTInquiry is back (after election). Sorry, Not Sorry. https://t.co/U6Gl07xkFl
This is so discouraging, yet again. Looking forward to the results of the #LRTInquiry so that we can finally see some accountability. Whoever gets elected to council, myself included, this will require our full resolve to set things right. #OttCity
Line 1: R1 bus service implemented between Tunney's Pasture and Blair due to a system wide communication issue. No train service on Line 1. Updates to follow. https://t.co/dSqA307yci
The city waits in anticipation for the report from #LRTInquiry. Not only to better understand our mistakes, but to prevent further disastrous procurements. There must be transparency, and accountability for those who obscure that transparency. 1/ #OttCity https://t.co/CWLmwwhmqU
#KanataSouth - this just keeps on going. We have had many people tell us it’s bad. We need to do better! #ottawa #LRTinquiry #Ward23 Several LRT vehicles removed from service for inspection after wheel-hub assembly failure found in one https://t.co/fyjV56cKBP via @ottawacitizen
@ottawacity @MeehanCarolAnne @RickChiarelli @fossiltreaty @Ottfossiltreaty @JimWatsonOttawa @ShawnMenard1 @KeithEgli @RiverWardRiley @rawlsonking @Laura_Dudas @Eli_ElChantiry @OttawaPolice @jchianello .@ShawnMenard1 brings up concerning things coming up from #LRTInquiry including private WhatsApp chat, conspiring to remove @smwgilbert, etc.
Menard says would be important for @ottawacity staff to come out with memo on process around this because of the importance of this.
@ottawacity @MeehanCarolAnne @RickChiarelli @fossiltreaty @Ottfossiltreaty @JimWatsonOttawa @ShawnMenard1 @KeithEgli @RiverWardRiley @rawlsonking @Laura_Dudas @Eli_ElChantiry @OttawaPolice @jchianello .@ShawnMenard1 asks if #LRTInquiry report and recommendations will be brought for this term of council or the next.
@Ottawacity say once again they don't know.
Hopefully these recommendations fall to the next #ottcity council without @JimWatsonOttawa at the helm.
Listening to the #LRTInquiry, I am committed to better transit in #Ottawa with more transparent business practices.
Considering the import of what was revealed in these hidden conversations, considering what's at stake in the #LRTInquiry, Watson's answer of "I wasn't asked" reveals more than a failure to ask the right question. It reveals his failure to do the right thing. #OttCity
At his #LRTInquiry testimony last week, @JimWatsonOttawa was pressed on why he didn't disclose his use of a private, exclusive WhatsApp chat between him, top @ottawacity staff and selected councillors to get updates on the LRT when others didn't.
His response: "I wasn't asked."

#KanataSouth neighbours: I know we are all very busy, but luckily we have reporters like @KatePorterCBC keeping us up to date on the #OttCity #LRTinquiry
Day 16 of public hearings. The commission hears from STV consultant Larry Gaul about how ready #OttCity was to take over its LRT system for riders, and from the city's Troy Charter.
Live feed in @jchianello's story about what we heard yesterday: https://t.co/QhYpM3S02F #OttNews
The #LRTInquiry is bringing the light of truth to a shadowy time in our city's history when secrecy and political interference took precedence over the public good. Remember the names of the 13 councillors who voted against the kind of process that enlightens us today. #OttCity
