"The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group is behind #Lansdowne 2.0. The Taggart Group are behind #Tewin and the dump land sale.
That’s over a billion dollars for developer schemes, when City Hall can’t even find the money to keep libraries open on Sundays."
5/6 The surprise ward Keep an eye on #Osgoode ward in 2026 #ottawa election. With #Tewin, a ring road, a landfill fight and old rivals circling, it’s one of the few wards where incumbency may finally meet its match.

Meanwhile #Ottawa's record of destroyed #urbanforests continues to grow:
#QueenJulianaPark
#ExperimentalFarm (part of a designated #NationalHistoricSite )
#HuntClubForest
#Tewin (last ditch attempts)
#McCarthyWoods (latest)
#climateaction is different from #climatetalk, no ?
Can you do something about Ottawa G7 capital of aspiring climate leader green lighting destruction of urban forests? Fifth one now on the line after #QueenJulianaPark, the #ExperimentalFarm, #HuntClubForest, #Tewin (in ER). Now #McCarthyWoods is at risk! (albeit an NCC forest. Ottawa could step up)
Ok so ......... what sets apart the no in Barrhaven from the yes to #Tewin ?
"City staff, however, recommended against bringing the land into the urban boundary, primarily because of the work required to make the land liveable."
Dartford Warbler near Tewin, Herts today. Decent enough views on a windy morning. #hertsbirds @rspb.bsky.social #Tewin

Tewin Debate Was Not A Waste: POTTER bulldogottawa.com/tewin-debate...
3/6
If municipal theatre had a season pass, this week’s #Tewin debate was it.
Tierney fretted about “kicking the can,” Menard accused colleagues of “talking out of both sides of our mouth.”
One voted for expansion, one for accountability.

Who wants to purchase a brand new home that needs to rely PERMANENTLY on sump pumps....?
