A significant budget shortfall is expected in Ottawa but mayor Larry O'Brien despite virtually no support from Council is still sticked up to its "zero means zero" mission impossible project. Of course, "zero means massive cuts to services" in which many are already complaining for the deterioration and already cuts would be needed to just have a 5% increase.
This article mentions that O'Brien would tabled will tabled a financial plan at a breakfast meeting (produced by Ottawa Business Journal and sponsored by Toshiba, Rogers and many others) on November 7 instead at City Hall which was the tradition. A French media called it a "secret budget".
Is it me but is O'Brien the main responsible of the divisions and conflicts at City Hall? Can he stop realizing that he is not running a private business company, he is running city (public)?
Here's this other story of the "Zero means Zero" nonsense.
