This, in a nutshell.
The city itself (and often the feds) don't try and make Ottawa a world-class capital, and the NCC always likes to imagine things for a narrow and fantastical perspective. It's also unfortunate that the bulk of what the NCC tries to do is from a car-oriented perspective and anything involving trees and grass.
