- This person should go see what a lot of the churches in Montreal look like!! Albeit, their buildings are somewhat taller than Ottawa's. -

Well, they did revolt against the church to enhance and improve their economic, social, and political standing. Which was by all accounts seriously detrimental and in poor standing compared to the rest of the western world. Thus it's not suprised that they had no problem building their 'new big shinny symbols of power' over the church.

Furthermore,in the mid 20th century it was much easier to 'swindle' the city councils and residents in order to build taller buildings over heritage buildings (and dwarf churches and other historical buildings' for 'economic enhancement and revitalization'. This just doesn't simply happen the way it used.

That being said I do love this project and give it a solid 9/10.
