City Hall To Legislate Fun: TOP 13 LIST
You can’t make this up.
The City of Ottawa is launching a plan to boost this city’s nightlife.
Our sober civic leaders will even appoint a “Night Mayor” to see that all the fun unfolds as it should.
And for the first time, the Top 10 List will be a Top 13 List because 13 is such a lucky number and it reflects the chances of this initiative ever working.

On a Sunday when there is virtually nothing to write about here in party town, God bless CTV’s Josh Pringle for conjuring this opus.
I owes you a drink, Josh.

Too bad they can’t take things like homelessness or fixing the LRT as serious as having a night life. Anyways, I am still not voting for Jimbo.
City of Ottawa looking for a Night Mayor, unlike our previous mayor who was a Nightmare.
Great list Ken and kudos to you for keeping it to only 13.
Instead of a Night Mayor, how about an Ottawa Institute of Thrillology (OIT) ? There is probably unused space in Kanata. Innovation is likely needed to produce thrills and excitement is ‘boring old’ Ottawa.
Odd, Debra … is was just thinking of you and then poof there’s your comment.
Vulcan mind meld.
cheers and hope all is well

Dan Stankovic is right that the city has higher priorities if it wants to really help and support residents.
I’ve been off working on climate change and environment issues, Ken. And now I have to figure out a backup power system for my house. Three times in less than 11 months with significant power loss is enough for me. And The Weather Network says the summer ahead may be one of the worst for heat on record. Can you spell “Heat Domes”? It could also mean more power outages. There won’t be any Night Life because everyone will be cooling off in a basement somewhere, maybe in the dark.
