Brigitte Pellerin: The transit system's fare reader is pretty convenient to use with an Apple Watch. Too bad it doesn’t actually collect fares.
Randall Denley: Making an election issue of how many days a week city employees work in the office is laughable.
Mohammed Adam: Lansdowne 2.0's projected revenues are in jeopardy if the CFL team keeps losing the very fans the project needs to succeed.
Brigitte Pellerin: As the city’s loudest and most obnoxious opponent to return-to-office rules, this makes my heart sing.
Mohammed Adam: It boggles the mind that in Canada’s capital, of all places, Donald Trump would be honoured with a street name.
Incumbent mayor Mark Sutcliffe's election promise to lower the cost of monthly transit passes might be what OC Transpo needs to recover after years of...
Mohammed Adam: The mayor's new transit pledge banks on a projected $85M in monthly savings from not-yet-signed provincial LRT takeover plan.
Brigitte Pellerin: It feels like every mayoral candidate has given up on transit and is throwing stupid ideas out there hoping we’ll believe them.
Randall Denley: Do we need a special body like the BMDA manage the limited city activities in the market?
Brigitte Pellerin: Forget how well each candidate speaks English or French. What Ottawa voters want is real talk, not talking points.
Randall Denley: Juicing up population numbers is a clever way of making city councillors look closer at expanding the urban boundary.
Brigitte Pellerin: Unless the "night mayor" can show us something existing staff couldn’t have done with existing budgets, don’t renew the office.
Mohammed Adam: Don’t laugh. Just look at the poll numbers. There’s no question it is now a three-way race for mayor.
Brigitte Pellerin: Here’s the situation the yellow ticket is papering over. We are forcing people back downtown, four days a week now, and we have...
Brigitte Pellerin: It seems like a lot of effort is going into what amounts to a rounding error in a municipal budget.
Mohammed Adam: The solution is imperfect, but if this is how we are going to get decent housing for our prime ministers, so be it.
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.
