The Ottawan


HELLO OTTAWA 

Jenna Sudds, City councillor for Kanata, will now be working a few blocks down the street after being elected as the Member of Parliament for Kanata-Carleton.

She's still on the City clock for a little while yet. MPs are not MPs until they are sworn in, and that won't happen until the Chief Electoral Officer tells Parliament who won. And that itself won't happen until the millions of mail-in ballots are counted.

Once she is sworn-in, whenever that happens, Sudds will cease to be an Ottawa City Councillor, leaving an empty seat at the Zoom table.

The remaining councillors then have 90 days to decide: appoint someone or hold a by-election. Appointing someone is fraught with political wrangling but a  by-election? Something tells us we're all voted out.

WHAT OTTAWA IS TALKING ABOUT

▪️The Confederation Line may be closed for as long as three weeks. The Transportation Safety Board is now looking at Sunday's derailment of an O-Train, which seems to be a broken sanding unit. The sanding unit literally spreads sand on the tracks when it is icy. [Ottawa Citizen]

▪️The City is looking for the public's opinions on the budget. And they are serious – they have created a form. The survey asks for the priorities of citizens to compare if it is the same as the priorities of staff. City Council will make the decision November 3. [City of Ottawa] [The Survey]

▪️The water quality in Ottawa remains excellent, say experts. Every year, the City commissions a report on water quality. Drink up, it's all good. [City of Ottawa] [The Report]
