If the kind of change you’re offering is simply addressing the symptoms— poor transit, urban sprawl, etc—then you are doomed to fail. Leiper offering to fix the things that are broken, without having any plan to fix the system that creates them in the first place was simply not inspiring

Ottawa needs a competent reset, electoral system, governance, civil service, everything, and much of the change we are offered is cheaper bus passes. The results we are getting are what the system is designed to produce. It’s working as intended.
