tbh, my experience is that there is not generally a lot of likes and comments on Substack. People just don't feel the need to do that on this platform.
I can see on my Substack backend that I'm getting a few thousand views on each article. And the subscription numbers are growing steadily every week.
But I always appreciate help from the community in getting the word out. For example, people regularly post links to the articles on Reddit and Facebook. That all helps.
Under climate change & tempatures out of control you can tell the $$ boys who have run this city for as long has I been in Ottawa are GEN X they know how to spend $$ to give less in quality & quanity. So that the community get the bill down the road. As you see there no proposal for a stadium that could be used all year round, but the proposal for over priced condos. In a time when we need a sustainable affordable community. They seem to lack the vision. Like a house. The top is only as sustainable as the foundation it’s built on and the Gold Rush driven GDP that started with the GEN X lack of economic & business 101 sustainablity now has only two ending. Repeat history & no one win. Or apply a 21st century sustainable system. Which we do have all the tools to create a 21st century StarTrek (1968) global federation. So we can go explore the stars & not repeat the 20th century horse& buggy vision of those that think like Trump or Putin. The young understand it, $ if you have not figured it out $$ has no impact on what they do & no longer need to follow old out of date thinking,but have figured out how history retain the good parts.
Neil, thanks for your lucid factual and advisory Substack articles on specific public interest questions for Ottawa citizens. They matter.
It’s crazy-making that they seem to be seen by so few, according to the numbers of ‘likes’ and comments. What to do?

Aha. OK.
