Ottawa-Gatineau Tourism

[YOWhopeful]

I have lived in Montreal most of my life and been in Ottawa for 15 years. The problem I notice here in Ontario is that Toronto sucks all the energy. Ottawa is perceived as not being worth spending money on. I guess architects urbanists seek notoriety and they won’t find it in Ottawa. And Ottawans seem very happy with the current situation. Ottawans are an odd bunch. They actually don’t know or like their city. No one at my work has ever taken the LRT. Just to try it out. As a novelty. Something new in the city. When you mention it they always bring up its many issues but aren’t you just curious to try it? They never visit museums or exhibits or the theatre. In turn Ottawa gets mediocre exhibits like the Monet last year which was dreadfully expensive for not much. And it’s a vicious cycle.
So to sum it up thr problem with Ottawa is Ottawans.
