Just when a voter might prefer more experienced representatives, Ottawa faces a \u0027change\u0027 election. At least one\u002Dthird of the next city council will be new kids…
Meanwhile, city-changing files cluster on the horizon. This week’s light-rail woes are a painful reminder of why a provincial commission is examining the entire enterprise. Ottawa has been without a permanent police chief for almost six months. Wellington Street, still closed, remains without a plan. A new wave of COVID flares, to muted messaging from local health authorities. Paramedics are in crisis, despite years of discussion about how to alleviate the local ambulance shortage.
In other words, just when a voter might prefer more seasoned, experienced representatives, Ottawa faces a “change” election. At least one-third of the city’s elected representatives will be new kids on the block. More generally, politicians across all levels of government have been the target of more and more insults — and even threats — from social media misfits. Who needs this?
