Wish Watson had stuck around one more term, though the O-Train debacle may have poisoned his chances (hence why he didn't run again).

Canada 150 was just that - celebrating Canada and had funding from the feds. Ottawa's 200th anniversary... who even knows or cares about Ottawa's 200th anniversary? Lots of transient population here whereas Canada's "birthday" is for all.

Selling this Guess Who concert as something is comical, as they are touring multiple other cities in Canada and would have came here anyways.

Edit: if it was specifically FOR Ottawa's bicentennial, it would be free programming for all... not something you need a ticket to Bluesfest to attend...
