This newspaper reached out to all other mayoral campaigns with contact information on the city\u0027s official list of candidates to ask about their intentions…
It’s a significant move, according to some critics of the industry’s level of influence in municipal politics, and a break from the approach taken by Ottawa’s last victorious mayoral candidate.
But by deadline Monday, they had not responded to emailed questions seeking to confirm this commitment and asking how it would be actioned. Param Singh, running for election after a nearly two-decade career with the Ottawa police, described a case-by-case approach: “If a developer comes and he says, ‘You know, I own this company, but I believe in your cause and I want to donate,’ right, he’s an individual, he’s donating, and I’m not going to stop him from donating,” said Singh.
Bernard Couchman declined to provide a response on the issue and contact information for Mike Maguire was not available. For MacDermid, a commitment to work to address the city’s dependence on development in this way would be a nice-to-see accompaniment to the swearing-off of developer donations. But even the latter pledge is a break from the path taken by many a successful municipal candidate.
