Why not cut all municipal employee salaries and reduce their benefits to fill the budget gap? You, after all, work for us the taxpayer, and given the "economic hardship" everybody should operate within their means.

Hey how is that goal of getting ottawa being the first wifi city in na america? Philadelphia fumbled that ball. Heard we would do something about this years ago and somebody got paid a lot of money. Never heard anything else after that. When the maggots show up with this green box initiative, the mayor will require something to fall back on. We can do wifi city wide for less then the last guy that got paid and never did the job. You have our email. Happy new year!

This cruel act happened in our Ottawa and that alone is a strong grief. The slain officers family and friends must be so shocked and heartbroken. My thoughts and prayers are for all of us at this horrible time. Let us all pause for a few minutes and reflect on this terrible tragedy and ask what we can do as members of society to prevent any such pain from ever being inflicted again. As time goes on, we will learn more of this event. Let us learn from it in order to prevent. Sandra Indeed, this senseless slaying is just so sad.

How long before I move away and let some other sucker take over the tax bill? enough is enough, you are bleeding us dry and I can only say that for the elections in 2010 a lot of you, the Mayor included, may be looking for other employment. I voted for you on the zero means zero, I can see that it was mistake and I blame myself for being so naive as to believe it.

The numbers that we are given presently will grow and grow as all of the cities projections for Public Transit have in the past. Also, we have seen the militant union in action so why give them more power over the victimized public. There are many problems in this city and I think it is sad to see the focus constantly being on Public Transit. Improve what we have and we will do just fine and we will also be able to survive the next strike. Mayor Larry;
