It's time to look at the mayoral candidates' tax policies | Opinion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The most fundamental task for any Ottawa mayoral candidate is to make a credible property tax promise. It shows that they have costed their platform and put a figure on what it will take to deliver it. Without such a promise, candidates are asking voters to sign a blank cheque. That’s exceptionally unappealing. Given how important a tax figure is, it’s disappointing that only one major candidate has so far met that basic expectation. Mark Sutcliffe has promised to keep tax increases to no more t
Sutcliffe's promise to end homelessness in noble, but impossible | Opinion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The homelessness issue is a bit of a trap for politicians. Obviously, it’s a problem, but simply promising to reduce it seems inadequate. The temptation is to go for the home run, eliminate homelessness altogether. That’s what Ottawa mayoral candidate Mark Sutcliffe is proposing to do, but it’s a promise that will be impossible to keep. Ending homelessness is challenge that’s too large for any municipal government to handle. While Sutcliffe stresses that it will take all three levels of governme
Leiper out of touch with voters on return-to-office | Opinion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the challenges for Ottawa mayoral candidates is not saying anything that could be considered laughably out of touch by the typical voter interested in reasonable taxes, decent roads, reliable garbage pickup and maybe even an effective transit system.

Since January, all city workers have been required to be in the
Sutcliffe's transit election promises offer hope for a better OC Transpo | Opinion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At last, an Ottawa mayoral candidate has come up with a comprehensive transit plan that makes sense, has ambition, and offers at least the hope of a public transit renaissance. Mark Sutcliffe’s transit plan is a major upgrade compared to the collection of tweaks and gimmicks offered by his opponents. “Buck a ride” promises and service guarantees won’t fix OC Transpo’s problems. Lower-priced passes, more express buses, more dedicated bus lanes, and extending LRT to Kanata, Barrhaven and Stittsvil
How to fix the ByWard Market's bureaucratic mess | Opinion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The ByWard Market District Authority (BMDA) has just solved a problem in the market, running its all-time tally up to one. The BMDA board’s firing of overbearing executive director Victoria Williston was inevitable after what amounted to a minor revolt from market vendors concerned about their future in the market, rules that just seemed ridiculous, and a generous helping of incompetence. For those of you who have never heard of the BMDA, they’re the people who are supposed to manage things in t
