Looking at the Sir Robert Borden and the elementary school scenario here, do we still believe safety is the prime reason for the cameras? The trick in my neighborhood is a big 50 km/hr sign with a much smaller easy to miss 40 km/hr school zone sign right after. bulldogottawa.com/speed-camera...

"Highly selective messaging. There is no affordable 🏠at #Lansdowne. It will be luxury units. And then the Mayor rolls out his go-to message: "it costs taxpayers much less than doing nothing." This is false as the City's own Auditor General shows." bulldogottawa.com/potter-dispu...

"Rather than adopt a take-it-or-leave-it or if-you-are-not-with-me-you’re-against-me attitude, why not focus on how to achieve the stated goal (safety for school children) while addressing the concerns about the abuse of authority?" bulldogottawa.com/hill-gets-sp...

This is an interesting take on next year's mayoral race here in Ottawa. Different positions on the deeply flawed Lansdowne 2.0 could make the coming council vote interesting. bulldogottawa.com/lansdownes-t...

So why does the mayor want to subsidize Lansdowne 2.0? bulldogottawa.com/no-govt-subs...

We're getting closer to making the right decision. Why indeed is the mayor pushing a half billion dollar expense for smaller facilities with a business model that looks a lot like the money losing Lansdowne 1.0. bulldogottawa.com/how-many-cou...

A Quote from today's Globe and Mail article, "How to breathe new life into Ottawa's ailing core," "Ottawa is too big and should be broken up into urban and rural municipalities." The concept of de-amalgamation has an interesting ring to it to me.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

A few years ago, didn't Jan Harder say, “shut up, Riley” while Riley Brockington was speaking? That seemed to pass the smell test with council then. So the question is how council will react to the recommendations of the integrity commissioner on Wednesday. bulldogottawa.com/why-have-an-...

They want us fighting so we never notice who is stealing from us all. Don’t get lost in the circus.

The US is already experiencing regional shortages that will only increase with climate change - despite their many denials that it is occuring. Canada needs to be prepared to defend itself.

Canada has natural resources the US desperately needs, especially as its trade wars curtail access to those elsewhere: - critical minerals - potash - fossil fuels - electricity That's right now.

But the US will have a critical and even more desperate need arising very soon, one that could strain US-Canada relations to the breaking point: WATER. Canada has it - much unexploited - in abundance.

Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.

Lansdowne 2.1 may go to council in less than two months. Currently 15 misguided councillors support it. There is still time to avert a huge mistake. This is not just a Glebe issue, this financial debacle could affect all of Ottawa if approved. glebereport.ca/articles/lan...

Some highlights from the Municipal Panel on Lansdowne 2.1

Lansdowne 2.0 Doesn’t Work Well Your Worship, you are correct about no appetite for tax dollars being spent on a new NHL arena. However, if you listen carefully, you might just hear the public telling you that they don’t have the appetite for Lansdowne 2.1. bulldogottawa.com/lansdowne-2-...

Will we ever see a Science Centre again? Parking on steroids indeed? A spa that only his late brother Rob could think up? I think I see a casino coming.

The 2025 World Press Freedom Index is out. The top 10 countries all use proportional representation. Canada ranks 21st. Over 80% of our media is owned by 5 corporations. We've lost 252 local outlets since 2008. If we want real media diversity and accountability, we need PR.

If Canada 'accepts' a deal with Trump that keeps big US tariffs on our vital value-added industries, we lose our right to challenge them under CUSMA or WTO, give him a win at his most vulnerable moment, and lock in subservient status. See our report: centreforfuturework.ca/2025/07/22/a... #cdnecon

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut. If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.
