How do you spell dysfunctional? O-t-t-a-w-a C-i-t-y C-o-u-n-c-i-l
Both groups have a reason to be frustrated. City council had 2 proposals before them. They were asked to pick one. That they weren't capable of this basic task sends a very worrisome message about doing business in Ottawa.
Ottawa has been presented with an opportunity to develop key city infrastructure, but city council seem ill equipped to process the information put forth. This isn't a transit or stadium proposition. It's not a $100 million liability for the city either. Some of the comments being made by council suggest a shocking level of incompetence in this important branch of government.
If I were a business owner thinking of expanding to Ottawa, this would give me great reason to reconsider. Ottawa, the city that can't? It's the good people of Ottawa that will suffer in the end, but not over this one issue. It points to a deeper problem; Ottawa City Council are stuck in neutral. They don't seem able to get it done, so should make way for people that can.
