Dear Stittsville Friends and Neighbours: I will be supporting @PaulMeek613 for Councillor here in Stittsville (Ward 6), in Ottawa's next municipal elections in October. Paul and his family have lived in Stittsville for over 24 years and I know he will serve us very well.

It’s too bad that we swapped the hugely successful #WilliamStreetPedestrianPlaza that had 10.6K Ave visits weekdays and 16.6K Ave visits on a Sat or Sun in 2019, for 22 parking spaces with an average occupancy of 1.2 persons each. #PoliticalDecisionMaking
Amended plan to revitalize the Byward Market gets green light (Ottawa Citizen), Mar 14, 2026
I’m 70 years old and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard about revitalizing the market. This is 2026. The market is not what it used to be. Time to move on epaper.ottawacitizen.com/art…

Well, @ottawacity Council caved to a couple of property owners today and the hugely successful #williamstreetpedestrianplaza was traded for 22 parking spaces. Political decision making at its worst. 🤦♂️
Here’s your new #WilliamStreetPedestrianPlaza by the numbers
= 10,600 People per Ave Weekday
= 16,600 People per Ave Sat or Sun
= #HugeSuccess

Sorry, Ambassador Pete Hoekstra simply doesn’t get it; doesn’t understand his role here; is no longer welcome in #MyOttawa #GetLostPete
Addressed @halifaxchamber today about U.S.-Canada trade. Canada has the best trade deal with the United States right now—85% of products remain tariff-free under USMCA—and we’ve built decades of prosperity together. I remain optimistic about our future.
