I recently published an op-ed about the student housing crisis for the @ottawacitizen.com talking about the high cost of living and what the city can and must do to make Ottawa a place students can afford to live. You can read it at the link below!

Adair: How the City of Ottawa can make student housing more affordable

More than 600 students completed our survey, telling us stories of high rents, poor living conditions and landlords who fail to do repairs.

In a recent National Post article, the Macdonald-Laurier Institute argued that climate is no longer a priority for Canadians, so Carney should reverse Trudeau’s climate policies. Let’s dive into who they really are and why they want us to think that Canadians don’t care about climate. 🧵#ClimateSky

Super honoured to have been an editor on this piece.

The housing crisis in Ottawa has become untenable, but tenants have also started to organize and tell their stories like I’ve never seen before.

Give it a read, and consider organizing your building.

I wrote for @rabble.ca about Bill 33, the Student Choice Initiative, and Doug Ford's war on student organizing. There are massive implications for organizing across the board. Hope you all give it a read!

Love Ottawa love this city councils hatred for its own residents

Horizon Ottawa @horizonottawa.bsky.social · Jun 3

Well, this is pretty frustrating. Delegates prepared comments for today's meeting to speak out against the misleading ads we've all been seeing all over downtown for years now.

This matter has already been delayed so many times, and now committee members can't even be bothered to hear us out.

I had the chance, with UOSU to present to city council about the student housing report I led, and the student housing crisis effecting our city and Canada. You can hear more about it on CBC. Thanks to @jleiper.bsky.social for the opportunity

Students at Ottawa U warn about a “student housing crisis”

A report conducted by the student union found that students can’t afford housing. Representatives were invited to present it at city council’s housing and planning committee.
