i'm not straw-manning. I'm pointing out that your negative view of the city has more to do with projection behaviour than an accurate view of the city.

I think the culture aspect is a bit difficult. In general, Canada doesn't have a necessarily strong brand or culture, most likely due to its age and it's melting pot of other cultures. You go to Italy, for the leather, fashion, pasta, espressos, etc.. Ottawa (and Canada as a whole), doesn't necessarily have that strong CANADIANA brand for people to experience.
There is no equal to Bluesfest in Toronto or Montreal. People fail to realize it is one of the biggest/best music festivals in the country and continent.
