johnredins.comJohn Redins - Candidate for Gloucester-Southgate Ward 10John Redins is running for City Councillor in Gloucester-Southgate Ward 10. Better transit, affordable housing, safer streets, and a stronger community.

4 days left. I can't knock on doors — my limited mobility doesn't allow it. So my outreach is the phone: calling undecided voters across Ward 10, one by one. Reaching them all before Monday takes money for calls and ads. If you can chip in, it goes straight to that outreach. Donate: johnredins.com

The mayoral frontrunners all talk flooding: Sutcliffe $500M + private insurers. Leiper a 1% levy + grants. Saravanamuttoo fix what we have, retrofit homes. My Ward 10 plan adds what none of them will: permanent flood prevention, and a municipal flood insurance backstop for families grants leave out

Lime is offering free e-scooter rides to the polls on Monday. I'm glad someone's thinking about transportation to the ballot box. But I can't ride an e-scooter — and neither can thousands of disabled Ottawa voters. When "free rides to vote" come on two wheels you have to stand on, the people

who need accessible options most get left out again. The barrier isn't just distance. It's design. — John Redins, Ward 10 candidate, daily Para Transpo rider since 2010 johnredins.com

cbc.ca‘Transit is a dumpster fire’: will more money fix it? | This is Ottawa | CBC Podcasts | CBC ListenMayoral candidates have referred to Ottawa’s transit as a ‘dumpster fire’. But will more money extinguish its problems? And should commuters have to pay higher fares or higher taxes to help fix things...

Love Glen's comment a lot of candidates talk about transit but don't offer any ideas to fix it

Hopefully it includes removal of @octranspo.com rural fares so people with mobility issues can apply for these jobs your promising

bit.lyMark Sutcliffe promises Para Transpo improvements, new accessibility standards if re-electedIncumbent mayor Mark Sutcliffe is promising improvements to Para Transpo service and new standards for accessibility in Ottawa if re-elected this fall.

Sutcliffe now promises same-day Para Transpo booking — something I've demanded for years as a daily user since 2010. About time. But with no plan, no budget, and no timeline, it's just words. The current system only books next-day trips. Riders deserve to know how. I'll hold him to it.

Does the Municipal Elections Act have a double standard #ottvote #ottcity #ottnews #Ward10

When a local candidate faces divisive harassment, it requires a unified response. 🤝 I reached out to our incumbent councillor to propose we stand together as candidates against this behavior. While she initially said she would look into it, she never got back to me. Leadership requires open

communication and timely action, especially when our civic safety is at stake. Silence from city hall is disappointing. Our community deserves a representative who is accessible, proactive, and ready to stand up for a fair, respectful democratic process for everyone. #ottvote #ottnews #Ward10
