Ottawa's mayor needs to start using OC Transpo | Opinion

If the mayor HAD to use public transit the way many other Ottawans do, perhaps it would work better. | Opinion

I don’t know if the Mayor Mark Sutcliffe has some ceremonial “first act” planned for when he and the rest of council are sworn in next month — raise a flag, lower a tax, declare it Ottawa Mindfulness Day. Whatever.

But I would like to suggest one act — a very unceremonious act that I think would endear him not only to his supporters, but to some of the many Ottawans whose votes went elsewhere.

I would like him to take public transit to work.

      Then we’d be asking him to finally provide us that transparency he keeps saying we deserve.

      He fought for RTO mandates. What do you think?

      Thanks for the nightmare commuter traffic asshole.

        I think the political class needs to realign itself with the citizenry, before they start inciting violence against themselves.

        But that’s because I’m not so stupid that I can’t see the writing on the wall, which appears to be a requirement of both the political and wealth classes.
