We love this City. We Expect Better. We’re Ready to Do Something about it.

The Thousand

1,000 Can Win

1,000 residents can win the next election.

A City Hall that gets the basics right, delivers what you need for a better tomorrow, and stops handing out sweetheart deals to insiders and cronies.

I’m Neil. I’m an economist and a community organizer.

If you and a thousand others are ready to commit to making change happen, I’m ready to enter the Ottawa Mayoral race and be a Mayor for all.

Will you be one of The Thousand?

Ideas for a better city

Better Ottawa

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

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

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

action for City Hall Accountability

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 votes 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.
