  • We live in a representative democracy. Politicians ask us for our votes, and we vote for them based on expectations they will deliver on their promises and reflect public opinion. The City of Ottawa is in budget 2025 season.

The article from MSN discusses the concerns raised by Ottawa city councillors Stéphanie Plante and Ariel Troster regarding the treatment of taxpayers in the Papineau and Lalonde areas. They argue that residents are often treated as an annoyance rather than valued stakeholders in municipal decisions. The councillors highlight issues such as poor communication from the city, lack of transparency, and inadequate engagement with the community on matters like infrastructure projects, development proposals, and tax increases. They call for better dialogue and inclusion in decision-making processes, emphasizing that taxpayers deserve respect and consideration for their contributions to the city. The piece underscores the need for a change in how the city interacts with its residents to foster a more collaborative and respectful relationship.
