No way... Ottawans are far from stingy. They might not be as fashionable as Montrealers or even Torontonians but that doesn't mean they're cheap... They simply have other priorities. Ottawans are much more about quality experiences rather than clothing. Any waiter that has worked in both Montreal and Ottawa will tell you how Ottawans in general are not afraid to splurge and to give generous tips. I know Montreal freelance waiters (they're on call at a bunch of different hotel ball rooms and move around according to demand) who move to Ottawa during the holiday season as tipping alone is more than worth it.
