✨New Post ✨ "Affordable Housing" vs. housing that is affordable. Are we solving the problem or subsidizing a broken system? It’s time to challenge the comfortable narratives in Ottawa. Read why the current approach is a myth. 📉 #OttPoli #HousingCrisis

Last week, #CarletonUniversity students staged a sit in at the library in support of students in Gaza. More than 130 Palestinian students have been waiting months to be granted permits.
We spoke to sit-in organizers and attendees: https://leveller.ca/2025/11/students-at-carleton-university-organize-sit-in-for-students-in-gaza/

Last week, the Human Rights Monument and Heritage Building in #Ottawa were lit up in the colours of the #Palestinian flag. Attendees sang the #Palestine national anthem and listened speakers and singer.
Other cities like #Toronto #Ontario held flag raising ceremonies. Why didn't the City of Ottawa allow the flag of Palestine to fly here?
The Leveller had a writer and photographer attend. Read about it here:

Holy FFS. The City of #Ottawa has taken down its 2001-2012 minutes and agendas, and now you have to go through the archives to request specific committee meeting documents! This used to be such a valuable research tool!
Ontario’s plan to mash 36 conservation authorities into seven is classic Ford logic: weaken local oversight, centralize power, and call it ‘efficiency.’ Because nothing says ‘flood protection’ like fewer voices and bigger bureaucracies.

So the city wants us to donate to basic public services now? Wow. It’s like your landlord hiking rent and leaving a tip jar on the broken washing machine.
If we can’t fund roads, transit, etc. through taxes, something’s busted — and it’s not my wallet.

Wow, I had completely missed this: municipalities no longer responsible for recycling collection starting Jan 1: https://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/city-news/newsroom/blue-and-black-bin-collection-changes-coming-january-1
If your blue or black bin is falling apart, call 3-1-1 to get it replaced for free while you still can!
Today, the City of Ottawa Council is taking their final vote on Lansdowne 2.0, the nearly half billion dollar project to make changes to the area.
None of the Ottawa community associations surrounding Lansdowne Park want it.
A recent poll shows that the majority of Ottawans don’t want it.
It seems that the only ones who do are the mayor, his small group of lickspittles, and the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group.
