Ottawa today will vote to confirm that it's just a small town run by backward thinking hicks. The Light Rail plan that was voted on in July and approved, and in small town Ottawa that means we're still thinking about it, was modified and voted on again last week and approved with no light rail through the downtown core. And again having the idiots at city council approving something only means they are still thinking about it.
Even after today's vote, where they are expected to one again change their minds and vote for no light rail, there will be another vote tomorrow and one again next week.
Only in Ottawa can you vote on things over and over and never really commit to anything. Only in Ottawa can you throw out 2 years of planning and consultation and vote to change something. It makes the city look like nothing more than a small town run by small mined people. I hope that Siemens sues the pants off of this city council, maybe then they'll actually make sure that what they vote for is what they want and stop the madness of re-opening votes and voting again and again.
Anyone remember how many times we voted on tearing down the cattle castle, refurbishing it, only renovating the inside, only renovating the outside, tearing it down, keeping it as is, or renovating it.
Well I'm sure today's vote on light rail won't be the last, second last or third last vote on it.
Welcome to small town Ottawa
