| 1640329820306300929 | Were calling on the @ottawacity Finance and Corporate Services Committee to oppose giving a $13.1 million tax break to multi-million dollar private company, Germain Hotels to build a luxury hotel. Public money should go towards public services: https://t.co/BI06yQTW43 | 46 |
| 1639619733799485440 | This potential grant is being funded by the @ottawacity "Community Improvement Program" or CIP and is the same grant program that gifted a $3 million tax break to a Porsche dealership in May 2021. Again, public funds should be going to public services. https://t.co/SuCYA4jv6f | 28 |
| 1639621425689403393 | Twice in one week we are seeing @ottawacity seriously consider throwing taxpayer dollars away to subsidize the profits of private corporations. #Ottawa needs to become a city for people to live in not just for the super rich to invest in. https://t.co/5sn2bIXNhE | 27 |
| 1640693901152464896 | Next week, an @ottawacity committee is voting on the approval of a $13 million tax break to a large private company to build a luxury hotel.

| 1638560941490032640 | We'll be joining other community groups tomorrow at #ottcity hall to lay out asks to @ottawacity around the new Transit Advisory Council to ensure it is not just another rubber stamp and has the power and resources to affect decision making.

| 1639354530201493505 | Some @ottawacity staff who made it on to the sunshine list this year including Deputy @OttawaPolice Chief Steve Bell who made $333, 037 last year. How many people could that money have saved by re-allocating it to a non-police mental health crisis unit? https://t.co/orL5lhuwpv | 9 |
| 1641176114033831941 | We, with our friends at @CanadasLifeline, are happy to announce that the @ottawacity Heritage Building and the OTTAWA sign in the @OttawaMarkets, will both once again be lit up in green for @GreenShirtDay.
