Episode Details

Lisa MacLeod, former MPP and cabinet minister, has officially ruled herself out of the Ottawa mayoral race — but not before sparking major debate with her blunt critiques of the city’s traffic, finances, and safety. Though she backed Mark Sutcliffe last time, she now questions whether Ottawa is truly better than it was four years ago, framing the upcoming election as a showdown over transit, safety, and urban vitality. With six terms in office under Doug Ford, her exit leaves the mayor’s race without her candidacy — but her fiery commentary has already reshaped the conversation ahead of Election Day.
