An election guide for people who don't have time to read everything | Opinion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The municipal election is less than a month away and I want us to show up in great numbers. In 2022 the voter turnout was 43.79 percent, up from 42.55 percent in 2018. Can we hit 45 percent or more this time and keep increasing the number? In the interest of helping you cast an informed ballot, here is Brigitte’s Handy Guide to the 2026 Ottawa Election for People Who Don’t Have Time to Read Everything. I have followed this campaign since before it officially began. I’ve attended events with all

OC Transpo Fare Payment Experience Transit · Fintech · Immersive Theatre $$ (management declines to be more precise) Brigitte P. · Ottawa, ON · Elite · 4,204 reviews · 3,188 photos I’ve been a regular here for decades, so please take this review of the failed OC Transpo payment system as constructive. This establishment had previously progressed through various phases to the point where exact fare payments were extended to all hours and monthly passes had been introduced. The deal was clear: you
In praise of the mayoral candidates against RTO | Opinion (opens the original)

Neil Saravanamuttoo added an approving “worthwhile” to the whole thing. It’s refreshing to see politicians acknowledging
Sutcliffe's new OC Transpo pledge is pretty lame | Opinion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The email landed in my inbox late on Sunday. “Mark Sutcliffe to release his plan to make transit more reliable and more affordable,” it said. When? 11:30 a.m. Monday. This isn’t normal. Confident politicians make sure journalists are fully aware of important announcements so they can cover them. This timeframe bears the unmistakable hallmark of a campaign that’s in utter panic mode. The good news, such as it is, is that your monthly transit pass will only cost you $95 a month instead of $138.50,
Can any of our mayoral candidates talk like a normal person? | Opinion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A recent story in the Citizen reviewed the French abilities of the four main contenders for mayor of Ottawa. Incumbent Mark Sutcliffe, as well as challengers Jeff Leiper and Neil Saravanamuttoo, rate their French anywhere from workable to very comfortable, while Alex Lawson has the honesty to say his French is high-school-and-regrets. But hey, if he wins, he’ll make learning it a priority. Fine. In a city where we rank bilingual public servants with letter codes, I want to focus on politicians’
