With advance voting underway, have you engaged your candidates on issues most critical to our communities?

📣This municipal election, we have the chance to elect progressive candidates that will champion bold, ambitious climate solutions. Climate Justice Ottawa put together a platform to demonstrate what municipal policies that advance climate justice could look like. #OttVote 🧵

Many tenants in Ontario will be receiving a notice of rent increase on October 1st from their landlords. Find out if the rent increase is legal with this new infographic.

Have you engaged your candidates on police budgets? 1/10th of Ottawa's municipal budget (~$350M) is spent on policing, which is almost 18% of taxpayer $$ and comparable to the tax dollars spent on public health, paramedics, libraries, social housing & parks & recreation combined

I don't doubt some candidates have faced some personal attacks and that's never okay but attempts to equate that to things like legitimate policy grievances, calling out corporate and developer influence and people trying to hold politicians accountable is extremely disengnious.

In order to push back against an austerity budget, we need the community to come together to show we won't stand for it! Register for our upcoming events to encourage public engagement and participation in the budget process: horizonottawa.ca/city_budget_101 horizonottawa.ca/budget_for_eve…

Good thread on what massive cuts to the OC Transpo capital budget means for transit riders in #Ottawa. For example it could lead to less or no R1 bus service the next time the #OttawaLRT goes down - is this how Mark Sutcliffe is bringing confidence back to our transit system?

If the mayor is so concerned about "empty buses" he could actually do something to attract riders, instead of more cuts. We've been banging this drum for awhile: frequency, bus lanes, fare relief. If you can grab a bus every 5-10 mins without delays, transit becomes worth using.

Last week, the Ottawa police presented their draft budget for 2023. Individuals + organizations have already spoken out: horizonottawa.ca/no_ops_increase See the thread below for how you can have your say about the proposed $15.2 million increase. 🧵⬇️

It was a great session tonight on the #ottcity budget hosted by Vivic Research, Ottawa Coalition for a People’s Budget and with help from Coalition Against More Surveillance with close to 100 people in attendance throughout! I think #Ottawa residents are ready to fight for a budget for everyone!

Key pointers from our event with Horizon Ottawa last night. If you were unable to attend, the recording of the event is available through Horizon Ottawa's Youtube here: youtube.com/watch?v=a2Yi4N…

We have been hearing that members of the Ottawa Police Services Board have been replying to residents via email saying that the Police budget is DECREASING despite them clearly getting an increase year after year. Let's look at the facts:

Cathy Curry is trying to use the growing population as a reason to increase the police force's budget and presence in communities while lumping together the gaps in resources for fire & paramedics. The police budget does not fund paramedics or fire, it funds militarized police.
