“It breaks your heart to think how those billions could have been spent to build a better Ottawa and serve its citizens well.” KG. This sentence sums up my sentiments exactly. The political catch phrase is transparency and accountability, which were missing in the LRT Fiasco. The guilty parties have hidden in the bushes without facing any backlash. Ottawa is such a great city and deserves better leadership and vision.
Doug:
Thank you for this.
This is probably the best educated major city in Canada and I believe only Washington D.C. beats Ottawa on that scale across the continent.
I get a bit tired of being lectured, spun and lied to by grade-school level arguments and low security prison actions.
That the arguments are often facile is one thing. But being patronized by such people, or just plain ignored, is discouraging.
Ottawa should be getting the best of service for its excellent citizens but instead gets decisions on the most base of political actions.
Leadership would be handy and an upgrade on our councillors wouldn’t be a bad idea, too.
This is a smart town. It deserves a smart civic government.
cheers
