At yesterday’s council meeting, Cllr. Troster spoke about the twin crises of vacancy and displacement and how we can work creatively to enrich our downtown, while keeping artists and cultural workers from being gentrified out of our city.
Let's look at my accomplishments
Re-opened a Crackhouse with fifty plus bodies on it
Crime rate through the roof higher than ever
Dundonald Park full of addicts
Needles in parks, businesses closing
Told the cops they're not welcome
Vote Troster!
@OttawaCitizen
This article is terrible. The real issue was the election of Catherine Mckenny followed by Ariel Troster. Progressive policies ruin cities. Ask Portland, Oregon how they're doing. It's only going to get worse for Bank St and other areas in the core.
Violence in Centretown is increasing. Property crimes. Homelessness. Addiction. I live here because I love it here but it’s beyond time for the mayor to start taking our community’s needs as seriously as he takes rural and suburban Ottawa. A night mayor isn’t going to fix this.
Remember that drug addicts are your neighbors. A few things to resolve conflicts:
Try being friends with them
Let them help themselves to your stuff
Don't call the police, use community resources instead.
The very people that abuse

and created parody accounts of him are upset that someone created a parody account of their favorite city Councillor.

@ctvottawa
Until people of Ottawa vote for councillors that actually care about reducing crime, drug abuse, and homelessness, why would anything get better?
Promoting drug abuse with safe spaces has the exact opposite effect.
See: Vancouver, Seattle, Portland.

What do counselors
@ShawnMenard1
and
@Arieltroster
advise?
I find they are the most honest brokers on City Council.
Personally I thought Landsdowne 1 was a mistake sacrificing green space for ugly buildings.
Knock them all down & turn it into a park!
Today my office along with staff at
@somerset_ward
have authorized the opening of an unsanctioned safe injection site at Dundonald Park to help people affected by closure. The site will be opening tomorrow at 9am I will be in attendance

@ArielTroster
I heard with the shutdown of the “safe injection sites” you were going to convert your home and office into a safe injection site. So kind of you.
But if they start cracking down on Crackhouses that will displace the poor dealers and criminals who dwell within. Think of the effect this will have our neighbors.
Busy taking selfies today, if you have an event, protest, that you wish for me to attend for selfies please contact my office
@somerset_ward
Don't contact my office for any actual work or problems you're having in the community.
I along with
@somerset_ward
are working hard on heritage designation for one of

's most popular properties. What a treasure it is to have such nice loving neighbors living next to you.
My office is working hard at doing nothing in regards to the Catherine Crackhouse Fiasco. Any complaints send them to my email and I won't get back to you.
Catherine Crackhouse Update: Ottawa Police responded yesterday to multiple people in the house took over an hour to get people out. One officer said they're pressuring City Hall and Troster's office to demolish the property.

It's being reported that another electrical transformer was used as a meth lab in a park as the cause of the outage. Thank you
@HydroOttawa
for working hard to get it back online.
NCC announces summer active use program, with 1.2 km stretch of Queen Elizabeth Driveway to be closed seven days a week in July-August for active use.

Workers from the Centretown Community Health Centre will have a table set up at McNabb Park at 3:30 pm today, tomorrow and Thursday. Feel free to drop by if you are wanting resources or support after the terrible incident that happened on Friday.
Your community is here for you.
I will be putting forward a motion with City Hall to ban renovictions. Landlords and developers will have to remove asbestos and other hazardous materials and complete work while the tenants are in the unit.

The City of Ottawa says the debt collection agency it contracted to recover tens of millions of dollars in unpaid debt has confirmed that if residents who recently took a hit to their credit scores pay up, their credit report will be corrected.

You think this is funny? Being a City councillor is very important work. Aside from doing nothing I'm constantly berated by my constituents and if that wasn't bad enough some moron took my twitter handle.
My Office was really sad to hear the news of the Catherine Crackhouse. I assure you my office along with
@somerset_ward
will do everything we can to get the house open again.
A “harm reduction CEO” starter pack.
1) white;
2) single family home in the suburbs / long commute;
3) “studies” that are not;
4) use word “stigma” at least 1/day
5) direct line to city managers;
6) photo ops in calendar;
7) repeat “toxic drug supply” in all correspondence.
@OttawaPolice
Why can't you just leave them alone. Maybe that's his only way to get home from the bar. If we invested more money in public transit this wouldn't happen.
Trosterdam will be opening up a community town hall at St. Luke's. Doors will be painted red and the community will be patrolled by a bunch of dudes with super soakers with smelly water that's not pee.

Nothing to do with ban evasion as nobody has been banned.
Just an FYI that twitter now has put safeguards in place as I was told last year. If you report in mass your account could get a label or even suspended.
