The PM has ordered workers back to the office for atleast 4 days a week

Higher ups May 4 2026

Everyone else July 6 2026

What a shitshow.

And a waste of tax dollars. Analysis shows it costs 6 billion to upkeep this "return to office" nonsense. What a joke. We had so much time to densify and create a better mixed-use CBD. 5 years to work on it and make it a non-ghost town. But no, let's keep those cafes that are only open from 9am to 2pm and parking garages full.

What a great step instead of improving our city.

Most are in 3 days a week as it is are we really going to say 4 or 5 days so max 2 more days will be a big impact for abrs etc.

this quote is the best from

"We have spent billions on LRT, and a critical step is building density close by to maximize ridership, and ideally develop generations of ottawans who don't need a car at all."


Also parkdale, Centertown or little italy? do them ALL!

It really is something.

Parkdale is quite a mess. I doubt new development contributes that much to the traffic woes. Hoping moving the Civic will alleviate some of the traffic.

Trying to torpedo Leiper so it doesn't become obvious in retrospect that it was his policy program and Horizon Ottawa's martyrdom complex which caused Mckenny to lose big time.
