Brigitte PellerinThe Star |
Brigitte Pellerin: It's unfair that residents should be made to pay for the failure of municipal infrastructure they should be able to rely on.
Brigitte Pellerin: We have no plans to deal with speeding other than have Ottawa Police remind everyone to be careful. It won’t do.
If you haven't decided who to vote for on Oct. 26, here's a guide to where all the mayoral candidates stand on the major issues.
Brigitte Pellerin: Voters are showing up at town halls with notebooks. They're bringing friends to events. And I am loving it.
Brigitte Pellerin: I'm a veteran of these registration Hunger Games. But did the mayor have to wait until a month before the election to say...
Brigitte Pellerin offers some handy voting advice for people who don’t want to dig deep into platforms or watch debates.
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.
Brigitte Pellerin: As the city’s loudest and most obnoxious opponent to return-to-office rules, this makes my heart sing.
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.
Brigitte Pellerin: Forget how well each candidate speaks English or French. What Ottawa voters want is real talk, not talking points.
Brigitte Pellerin: Unless the "night mayor" can show us something existing staff couldn’t have done with existing budgets, don’t renew the office.
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.
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.
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.
Brigitte Pellerin: Do we really have to be warned there may be rocks at the bottom of the river?
Brigitte Pellerin: The problem with infrastructure is that a lot of it suffers from that terrible affliction known as “being boring.”
Brigitte Pellerin: When I asked the people in charge for explanations on Ādisōke's delays, here's what they said: Nothing.
Brigitte Pellerin: As the city explores future composting options, now is the time to help dramatically increase waste diversion.
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.
Brigitte Pellerin: Instead of helping us understand best practices for humans to be good to animals, we’re just hit with unexplained regulations.
Brigitte Pellerin: I’m glad we have a bubble law for protests but I’m disheartened that it’s necessary.
Brigitte Pellerin: The city has had three different decade-long plans since 2014. So far it's going great — except for reducing homelessness.
Brigitte Pellerin: A new trash pickup schedule and the termination of door-to-door mail delivery shouldn't get this much resistance.
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: City council should express our collective outrage over his impaired driving with a formal reprimand.

Brigitte Pellerin: Much of what Ottawa mayor Mark Sutcliffe is now promising was already in a 2021 plan approved by a previous Council.
Brigitte Pellerin: There's no need to rebuild the tavern with high-quality anything when the area gets redeveloped.
Brigitte Pellerin: There is no reason to force people to get downtown, especially when OC Transpo is so unreliable.
