Cat’s Out Of The Bag On Funding Presser
Ah one of those mystery press conferences. Must be something big.
“Come to our press conference. It must be something big. We’re bringing in these huge names so we’ve go money for you. We need the publicity. You won’t be disappointed … trust us.”
Here’s a hint for you. The PDF for the press release is “Ottawa Baseline Funding Allocation.” Methinks the cat is out of the bag. You can take it from there.
This is a joint release from the City of Ottawa and the Government of Canada:

Another example of Buying your votes? with your money?
Baseline? Baseline Road or baseline as in the base from which things are measured?
If this relates to the Baseline Road Rapid Transit Corridor (or words to that effect) what is missing from the list of invitees are College Ward Councillor Laine Johnson and River Ward Councillor Riley Brockington. Could this possibly be because red is not the primary colour in their political allegiances?
I know this is nit-picky but who are they sending this press release to that they have to specify (last line) that Ottawa is in Ontario??
V:
It was sent to me. I don’t think they have a high opinion of my smarts.
