Ottawa Deserves Better.

We need to get the basics right.

Our Mission

Let’s get the basics right.

Ottawa should be a city that works for the people who live here.
Right now, it doesn’t feel that way.

Costs are going up, but services aren’t keeping up.
Transit is unreliable. Roads are falling apart. Housing is harder to afford.

This campaign is focused on fixing the basics. Delivering the services people rely on. And making Ottawa a place where families can afford to live and grow.

Let’s get the basics right.

Every commitment below is published in full: what Alex will do, how it gets delivered, and the timeline he expects to be held to. Read the plans. Share them. Hold him to them.

The plans, as announced

01

Build homes people can afford.

Two rents, a $700 gap, and five things in the first year to build family-sized rentals and stop the slide into homelessness. May 2026

02

Fix the basics at OC Transpo.

Ottawa’s transit system is not short on money. It is short on management. Twelve commitments, six problems, public reporting against every metric. May 2026

03

The Influence Firewall.

A four-year bar on campaign insiders lobbying the officials they helped elect. No new cost, no new department. June 2026

04

Your money, in plain sight.

Every city contract in a live, searchable, plain-language list, no minimum dollar amount, updated as work is awarded. July 2026

05

Build the ring road.

A southern ring road as a provincial 400-series highway, so 1,000 trucks a day stop rolling through Manotick and the 417 isn’t the only way across. July 2026

06

The Alto pledge.

No NDA that keeps you in the dark about your own property. If your government is talking about your land, you deserve to know. July 2026

07

Return to office, honestly.

Straight talk on what a mayor can’t do about the federal mandate, and the three things he can: the city on record, federal worksites outside the greenbelt, express buses back. August 2026

08

Fix the basics in rural Ottawa.

One standard, two operating environments. Road safety, farm business zoning, ditches, road renewal, and your right to know about your own land. August 2026

09

Jobs and growth.

Ottawa lost 30,500 jobs in a year and nobody at City Hall owns the file. Get people into work, get more work into Ottawa. 21 commitments, all on the City’s own budget. August 2026
