I'm not running to be the developer's go-to-guy and I will not run the city behind closed doors. If Ottawa chooses me for mayor, I will throw those doors wide open.

The campaign office, up and running at 1014 Wellington St. West in the heart of Hintonburg, hosted well over 100 supporters last Thursday night to celebrate the official launch of the Clive Doucet Campaign. Live music and lots of nibblies greeted the people.
From Clive's Speech:
Where are we going and what do we want to achieve in the next four years? The answer for me is simple. We want and need to start retrofitting our city for a different world. The 21st century is not going to be like the 20th century. We have just passed through the richest, most prosperous century humanity has ever seen. Our city’s population and the world population have more than tripled. The 21st century will
not be the same. We will not see the same growth; we will not have the same endless supply of cheap oil and every city and nation will be beset by climate change. The front page of today’s Globe and Mail makes it very clear. Every indicator is that climate change is here to stay and it’s going to get worse.
All cities are going to have to change. We must revive local agriculture, local businesses and develop energy and travel choices that don’t require you to open a car door. And we can. Ottawa is superbly located to meet the challenges before us.
