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...

Montreal had a big hoopla for its 375... in 2017.
I'm sure we could have gotten some funding for the 200th is we asked. We just have a Mayor who doesn't really care. I'm sure Watson would have done something... something. His whole Byward plan was supposed to be done by 2026, but then Sutcliffe did absolutely nothing with it.
