Apparently the story was noticed by some people in Ottawa. The following story that mentions the Chronicle Herald story was written in the Ottawa Citizen. It is a more factual and less biased explanation of the Chronicle Herald story "facts".

This following story was printed in the Ottawa Citizen and mentions the Chronicle Herald discussion. It is somewhat biased since it is written by someone associated with the Ottawa convention centre but it gives concrete financial information that indicates that it has been a financial success:
Convention centre is an economic success (

The Ottawa Citizen story was reprinted in the Chronicle Herald:
