Here is our final full list of speakers for our event, "The State of Ottawa's Democracy" THIS THURSDAY at 7 pm including leaders across the City like @deebijoux, @ShawnMenard1, @OttawaACORN and @Ottawa_123. RSVP at the link below for the event link: tinyurl.com/y5tdk9v5
After Stephen Blais, who funded his campaigns mostly on developers donations, #cumberlandward deserves a councillor who understands that taking these donations is a conflict, legal or not. @yvetteashiri has committed to not take these donations. Please support this campaign.
We're excited to announce that after an in-depth review of all candidates registered for the #Cumberland by-election through a thorough selection process with our membership, we have chosen to endorse and support @YvetteAshiri! Check out her website here: yvetteashiri.ca
.@YvetteAshiri @LysePascale @catherinekitts @Denis_Labreche Craig MacAulay @MarkScharfe @elect_patrick Henry Valois Just sent a 3rd question by email: Will you accept campaign donations from the building industry? @TransparencyOtt #Vote #Ottawa #Cumberland #CardinalCreek
The numbers speak from themselves. Below is the correlation between development industry contributions to councillors and votes on the urban boundary expansion. horizonottawa.ca/petition-devel… #HoldTheLine #ottpoli #ottnews #ottcity
@ScottMoffatt21 @HorizonOttawa @FBubbleworth When you say regular citizen, I assume you mean Martha De Kemp. Here’s the environmental assessment submitted in 2018 for a proposed development on property they owned. webcast.ottawa.ca/plan/All_Image…
@ScottMoffatt21 @HorizonOttawa @FBubbleworth Per their site, CWW “provides fully integrated plumbing and sewer services to real estate development firms...” among many other development related services. cwwcanada.com/company/about-…
Get to know your #Ottawa Planning Committee better (a thread):
A great event on right now from @EcologyOttawa about th4 costs of urban sprawl! Details to join below!
Another day, another massive showing of support for #HoldTheLine. We have > 100 ppl joining us for "What Urban Sprawl Costs Ottawa." @GreenspaceA @TheEnergyMix @RyersonCBI @JustFood_Ottawa Join us! us02web.zoom.us/j/89713973520?…
Agreed @heatshear. In our report, we allude to different strategies re: campaign finance reform. Lowering the contribution limit is amongst one of the most effective. Multiple studies show it leads to more competitive elections but also wider, more diverse slates of candidates.
Wow, I was just browsing the @ottwatch database. Candidate Steve Anderson (Ward 23 - Kanata South) brought in 31.5% of the vote with a campaign of just $450. (vs. 45.5% and $26,600 for @AllanHubley_23) I wonder who would have been on council today if big donors weren't a factor.
@AngusByDesign @CourageOttawa @FaeJohnstone @HorizonOttawa @EcologyOttawa Or better yet, get behind a candidate who vows to run a campaign that represents local interests and sees value in being above reproach when it comes to financing, as all public officials should.
@AngusByDesign @CourageOttawa @FaeJohnstone @HorizonOttawa @EcologyOttawa In some cases, the development industry backed the wrong horse and then came in with some donations after Election Day (which is legal) to the candidate who won. If they are getting a disproportionately large leadership role, residents should be watching and asking questions.
@ScottMoffatt21 @greenhillroving @jchianello @ShawnMenard1 @cmckenney @KitchissippiOtt This publication is full of fact, and you call them dishonest. What you like is to argue and ambiguate while real economic forces victimize real people, and call that serving the public.
Proud to have been part of the team putting this research together! There is simply too much developer connected donations in #ottawa's politics.
Today, we released a report along with a searchable database revealing the extent developer money plays in city politics. In #Ottawa 2018 municipal elxn, those connected to development industry contributed nearly 1/2 of all donations to those elected 1/3 development.money
@Steven_Trainor @ShawnMenard1 @HorizonOttawa @JLeiper We worked on the research. But, we only included links we could find and provide evidence for. Please feel free to DM if you have details on links we were unable to make. Thanks!
👏👏👏 Nice! 👏👏👏 Um, I mean the work involved here is excellent. Developer influence over city hall is decidedly not nice. Why do we subsidize these millionaires anyway? (Right - b/c they funded candidates who are super-pro development, no questions asked).

@kevinodotnet Thanks for your database. It helped a ton to do the research.
Explore this website to see how the landlords and developers connected with the destruction of Herongate fund the politicians like Jan Harder and Jean Cloutier: Timbercreek, Jack Stirling, Bassi Group, HP Urban (Peter Hume)

We hope our data can be used as a tool to keep members of council accountable but also to spur discussion around campaign finance reform which is desperately needed in our City. As councillors vote Wednesday to #HoldTheLine or not, these numbers tell us all we need to know 3/3
En espérant que ces données seront utilisées pour que nos élus soit tenu responsable mais aussi pour parler de réforme du financement des campagnes Étant donné que le conseil vote mercredi pour/contre l’étalement urbain #HoldTheLine ces données expliqueront le résultat 3/3
Mention spéciale @JimWatsonOttawa qui a empoché >200,000$, la présidente du Comité d’urbanisme @BarrhavenJan financé à 96% par les promoteurs et @AllanHubley_23 qui a vu sa campagne électorale presqu’entièrement financée par l’industrie 2/3
