“I [Sutcliffe] had a chance to take Premier Doug Ford on a tour of Lansdowne Park and show him our exciting plans for Lansdowne 2.0.” #ottawa #ottpoli @KenGray @Alex_S_Cullen @Charlie_Senack @JCHIANELLO pic.twitter.com/WXrSndd62V

3/3: comment: Highly selective messaging. There is no affordable ?at #Lansdowne. It will be luxury units. And then the Mayor rolls out his go-to message: “it costs taxpayers much less than doing nothing.” This is false as the City’s own Auditor General shows. @WilsonLo24
