Ideas. action. Fix This City.

City Hall is broken. It’s not delivering what you and those around you need to get ahead.

Useful and affordable services for the taxes you pay. Viable housing options. The ability to get where you want to go, however you choose. Basic public order and a sense of pride in our city.

The system has stopped working for ordinary people like us. Although it continues to work just fine for a handful of elite property developers.

We need a City Hall that gets the basics right and delivers what you need for a better tomorrow.

An Ottawa that works for you means City Hall action in spending, housing, transportation and public order.

The established City ways are not delivering what people need to get ahead.

The status quo is broken. It’s time for new ideas.

Learn about our ideas for City Hall action on spending, housing, transportation, and restoring public order and civic pride.

We are a ragtag group of the community volunteers working to hold City Hall to account.

Our top priority is to make sure that people in Ottawa understand how their Councillor voted on issues that we think should be better understood.

For example, whether your Councillor vote to spend $600 million for water pipes out to a distant proposed subdivision, Tewin, south-east of the city.

Or whether your Councillor voted to spend $493 million to renovate the Lansdowne sports stadium.

WATCH The 1% Lansdowne Tax to understand how much renovating the Lansdowne stadium will really cost Ottawa taxpayers.

If you think spending half a billion dollars on a stadium upgrade is a bad idea, sign this petition calling for a binding referendum to let Ottawa taxpayers decide if they want to renovate Lansdowne.

Council will make its final decision on Lansdowne in October 2025. This is far from being a done deal, and the people can have their say.

Mayor Mark Sutcliffe says that you, the people of Ottawa, want to spend on Lansdowne. Given it will cost us $20 million a year, equal to a 1% property tax increase, many don’t believe that.

Prove us wrong, Mark. Put $493m for Lansdowne to a binding referendum.
