Ottawa Now - Downtown councillor concerned that Mayor Sutcliffe's Lansdowne 2.0 numbers don't add up

October 20, 2025

The Lansdowne 2.0 project is moving toward a final decision at Ottawa City Hall. And earlier today, Ottawa’s Mayor delivered an update on the redevelopment and construction approval plan. Mark Sutcliffe said taxpayers should be encouraged by this announcement, applauding the project as a good return-on-investment. The annual price tag to Ottawa’s taxpayers has dropped down to $4.3 million, which was originally projected to be $5 million annually as of 2023. A new 5,500 seat event centre and North Side stand installation at TD Place will now cost $313 million, and the full construction project value now sits at $418 million. However, a Downtown city councillor isn’t buying the hype or the decreased expenses, as Capital Ward councillor Shawn Menard fears that Sutcliffe’s numbers don’t add up. Menard joins Kristy Cameron on today’s Ottawa Now.

OTTAWA — A Canadian organization focused on combatting the spread of child sex abuse images says a new analysis has found the presence of such images in a dataset used to train AI models. The Canadian Centre for Child Protection said the findings include images of more than 120 victims across Canada and the United States and raise serious ethical concerns when it comes to the development of AI technologies. “Many of the AI models used to support features in applications and research initiatives have been trained on data that has been collected indiscriminately or in ethically...
