As an Ontarian, I would like to see Mitch as a Bencher. Mitch is a person of exceptional character and strong moral fibre. He is a champion of both the person and the people. If you are a lawyer in Ontario, Mitch Kitagawa is worthy of your vote. mitchkitagawaforbencher.ca

Moving people are healthy people. Physiotherapists keep people moving. Regular exercise and, in essence, a gatherer>hunter diet helps keeps you healthy - including your gut. Sylvia Jones The Globe and Mail theglobeandmail.com/life/health-an…

I was on the road yesterday. I'm looking at this picture of central Ottawa. I'm left asking: Where were the road crews? Where was the MTO? Do they read weather forecasts? Was this cost savings? How much is a life worth? cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

There is a beauty in the capital cities of past colonial powers that is easy to admire. But, I'm reminded that the foundation for the beauty that one is surrounded by and the power they convey was the exploitation of human beings. The Globe and Mail theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

The K-Shaped Economic Recovery Curve and Dickens: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ..." The cost of food. The cost of housing. The cost of heating. The rising cost of living? More like the cost of surviving for many Canadians. ctvnews.ca/canada/canadia…

Public Land. Social Profit. The world's population is growing. People live in cities. Cities are growing. Housing affordability is critical for a healthy future. @KatePorterCBC Mark Sutcliffe Shawn Menard Ottawa Business Journal IRPP/Policy Options cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

With more prevalent work from home models and fewer people afoot daily, we are able to more clearly see our fellow citizen who used to once blend into the crowd. The question is, how do we help? #Ottawa cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

Re: Viennese Chocolate Cake: "If you have money, go. If you don't, watch." This speaks to the K-Shaped economic recovery curve seen during COVID, and the widening chasm between lived realities depending which leg of the K you're represented by. ctvnews.ca/business/food-…

Healthy aging, aging in place, and walkable/livable communities? Sounds nice, but without the proper supports it's a fingers crossed approach. A 74 y.o. patient who called 5 clinics to get publicly funded PT. The wait? 2 years. All physiotherapy should be publicly funded.

Affordable Housing: We talk about this issue as if we were talking about nuclear fusion. If you don't get the analogy, then you did get it. Cities like Vienna have been successfully building affordable housing for a century. CBC Ottawa #Ottawa cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…
