I'd argue Quebec City is better than Ottawa in this respect.
Prior to Jean-Paul L'Allier becoming mayor things had been relatively comparable in the two cities - which is to say largely uninspiring.
But L'Allier was mayor for about 25 years and he really transformed Quebec City. Polishing the jewel, so to speak. Régis Labeaume has been mostly cut from the same cloth.
Ottawa needs a L'Allier-esque mayor to work a similar type of magic.
