Ottawa Citizen |
Randy Boswell: Here's why Caivan’s 40-acre parcel of land just outside the urban boundary south of Stittsville wasn’t greenlit for development.
Brigitte Pellerin: While it's easy to feel discouraged about the amount of sexual misconduct in Ottawa, we’re on the right path by facing it head-on.
Randall Denley: The Auditor General’s report on Ottawa's "New Ways to Bus" plan shows it ended something closer to No Ways to Bus.
Mohammed Adam: With a $10.8 billion infrastructure deficit, there is no credible alternative if we are serious about fixing roads and bridges.
Brigitte Pellerin: Imagine each resident being allowed to add their car to a city account that lets you park anywhere there’s a meter without paying.
Randall Denley: Between pension contributions, wage negotiations and job cuts, managing the public service has been a weak file for Carney.
Brigitte Pellerin: Do we really have to be warned there may be rocks at the bottom of the river?
Every mayoral candidate should take a position on how to pay for repairing the city's deteriorating roads and sidewalks
Mohammed Adam: We can’t say we want bad roads fixed, and in the same breadth complain about the inconvenience when the job is being done.
Randall Denley: City Hall spend vastly more time talking about OC Transpo than they do about Ottawa's deteriorating roads. That should change.
Brigitte Pellerin: The problem with infrastructure is that a lot of it suffers from that terrible affliction known as “being boring.”
Mohammed Adam: The government has the right to call public servants back to the office. But they need to give them space to work.
Brigitte Pellerin: When I asked the people in charge for explanations on Ādisōke's delays, here's what they said: Nothing.
A little plot of land south of Stittsville illustrates just how silly the government-run planning regime is.
Mohammed Adam: The premier favouring Toronto to host a multinational defence bank reinforces the belief that the capital is an afterthought at Queen's...
Brigitte Pellerin: As the city explores future composting options, now is the time to help dramatically increase waste diversion.
Mohammed Adam: Ottawa has not elected a leftist candidate as mayor in nearly 50 years. Does Jeff Leiper have a chance?
Randall Denley: The city’s waste management plan says it wants a “proven” technology for the new landfill. In this case, proven means old.
Mohammed Adam: The economist's entry into the mayoral race will elevate the contest by turning it into a campaign of ideas, not personalities.
Sophia Laporte: Ontario's new legislation to make attendance a big part of a student's final grade doesn't solve the real problem.
Randall Denley: If expanding Ottawa’s suburbs is sprawl, what would sprawl opponents call the expansion beyond the city’s borders?
Brigitte Pellerin: A new report sought out to quantify the benefits of the LRT. Turns out only 18 per cent of neighbourhoods saw transit improvement.
Randall Denley: If the defense department can’t resolve a campus parking problem, a $84 billion spending boost might not be money well spent.
Brigitte Pellerin: Instead of helping us understand best practices for humans to be good to animals, we’re just hit with unexplained regulations.
Mohammed Adam: The leaky, rat-infested fire hazard of a prime ministerial residence is a national embarrassment.
Randall Denley: The Ford government is improving family doctor supply, home care and long-term care. Hospitals haven’t made the top of the list.
Brigitte Pellerin: I’m glad we have a bubble law for protests but I’m disheartened that it’s necessary.
Mohammed Adam: I got three calls in one day from different numbers with Ottawa area codes — all trying to get my personal banking information.
Randall Denley: Justin Trudeau treated ethics violations like parking tickets that don't have to be paid. Mark Carney should set a better example.
Mohammed Adam: If individual interests were allowed to trump the national interest, there will never be progress anywhere.
Brigitte Pellerin: The city has had three different decade-long plans since 2014. So far it's going great — except for reducing homelessness.
Randall Denley: Improving rural service is never going to rise to the top of OC Transpo’s to do list. Why not look elsewhere for help?
Brigitte Pellerin: A new trash pickup schedule and the termination of door-to-door mail delivery shouldn't get this much resistance.
Randall Denley: Rick Leary has a solid CV, but he will find a huge gap between what we can afford and the transit system that some demand.
Here in Ottawa we are locked in a vicious circle of perpetual pointlessness, producing slow, partial, half-baked pilot projects that never lead to...
Brigitte Pellerin: Why do we keep running half-empty buses on fixed routes through sparsely populated areas?
Mohammed Adam: The melting snow and ice is exposing dog poo hidden underneath, and making walking on public pathways rather messy.
Andrew MacDougall: Being prime minister is as much about Cabinet committees and consensus building at home as it is mitigating Donald Trump abroad.
Mohammed Adam: The city is reneging its responsibility for public safety as the garage owner moves ahead with plans to rebuild and reopen.
Brigitte Pellerin: City council should express our collective outrage over his impaired driving with a formal reprimand.
Brigitte Pellerin: The Ottawa city councillor only has three words in French on his election signs, and he got them wrong — twice.
Mohammed Adam: Public transit should be the defining issue in this year's election. Not taxes, housing, or homelessness.
Brigitte Pellerin: Much of what Ottawa mayor Mark Sutcliffe is now promising was already in a 2021 plan approved by a previous Council.
Mohammed Adam: Once an private owner's building is designated heritage, the city dictates what can or can’t be done. But it takes no responsibility...
Brigitte Pellerin: There's no need to rebuild the tavern with high-quality anything when the area gets redeveloped.
Randall Denley: Most people work five days a week wherever their employer tells them to go. Public service unions overplayed their hand in...
Mohammed Adam: A strike in the middle of the tax season will likely undermine any public goodwill.
Brigitte Pellerin: There is no reason to force people to get downtown, especially when OC Transpo is so unreliable.
Marc Marier and Joanne Higgs broke up in the 1970s. A string of bad luck later in life led them both to a residence run by the Shepherds of Good Hope...
