The GTA, Montreal and Vancouver have pockets of good urbanism that one could reasonably craft a decent life in. There's a ton of people in those cities who get by without a car. That is evidence. Heck, even smaller cities like Halifax are better. The zones to do the same in Ottawa are small and don't look likely to grow much if the public spending priorities remain the same.
