On transit, my record is clear. I have consistently voted against service cuts and I co-sponsored a motion with @jleiper.bsky.social to restore 5-min LRT frequency — one that was ultimately defeated by the current mayor and his supporters.

If we want to restore transit reliability, we need to include rank-and-file operators as part of the transit committee. We also need to reverse the cuts that have contributed to the transit death spiral in Ottawa.

This was 14 years ago, my daughter’s first protest. Activists make great leaders, no matter what the current mayor says.

Thank you to everyone who voted in the advance polls today, and to all of the volunteers who hit the streets and knocked on doors in crappy weather today. This is what democracy looks like ❤️

With only two weeks to go until E-Day, I am thankful for the dozens of volunteers and nearly 200 donors supporting this campaign. Building a better city is a group project, and you have been all-in. Rest up, because then we won’t stop till October 26th ✊
