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

Love Ottawa love this city councils hatred for its own residents
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.
