By the fall, I will officially find out if Ottawa's current Mayor is dimmer than I thought or City of Ottawa residents are dimmer than I thought. Ottawa's current Mayor has just announced that he will be running for re-election.
Let's just recap the epic fuckups so far:
1- He called Ottawa's homeless "pigeons" and insisted that if we stop giving them money, they will go away. Delightful.
2- His entire campaign was around 0% tax increases and then... increased taxes.
3- Then there was that whole, let's bribe the opposition thing.
4- Oh and hey, can't forget the ridiculously long transit strike that saw people walking miles in the dead of winter.
Then there was the lawsuit over the canceling of a giant contract for the construction of new transit, his recent comments about his competition, Jim Watson, being a 'old lady' and the list goes on.
Considering transit has been defined as the #1 issue concerning Ottawa residents for the upcoming election, here's hoping that people take a clue and realize "Hey, maybe Larry's not the guy I want in charge".
Here's hoping....
